With the season just 60 hours away the Jays have made their final roster decisions, and there are some surprises.

Devon Travis needs more time to get ready so he has been placed on the DL and will stay in Florida. Ryan Goins will make the team.


Aaron Sanchez' blister is not getting better. He tried to burn it off and burned his hand. He is out for around a month. Mike Bolsinger will take his spot.


Jose Bautista missed the Montreal series to attend his brothers wedding. While doing "the Twist" on the dance floor he hurt his knee and will have to see a specialist. Darrell Ceciliani will take his spot.


Josh Donaldson was signing autographs for fans and one, too-enthusiastic fan, stepped on his foot. He is day to day but will likely miss the Baltimore series.


The Jays announced that Roberto Osuna has been traded to the Orioles for Darren O'Day.


After the game Marcus Stroman and Jason Grilli were at a nightclub on St Catherine's street and got into a fight. Both are in hospital with unknown injuries.


Before the game Troy Tulowitski went to a psychic in Montreal. She told him he would suffer a serious injury in the first week of the season due to an on-field collision. He has decided to sit out those games to avoid the injury.


That is all the news for today, April 1st.

You forgot to mention that to replace Sanchez in the rotation, the Jays traded Sean Reid-Foley to Atlanta to reacquire R.A.Dickey.

I like this we are in mid season form.

I will admit it took me way too long to realize what kind of post this is.

the first 2 were all too plausible. I was sad.

wasn't until the wedding incident that i clued in.

In other news, the Commerce Secretary was not amused by the reception Russell Martin received in Montreal. He has initiated an investigation into the effects of importing Canadian ballplayers into America. Martin will be playing only in home games in April as a precautionary measure.

Kudos Gerry !.. it's always good, if not discomforting, to be put back in touch with one's gullibility ... reminds me of my youth which is always nice, no matter how fleeting.

Great GIF, Uglyone ... pretty well sums up my initial reaction also. Similar response time too.

A question for the financial experts ... "Upton is due $16.45MM this season"... How much are the Jays on the hook for ?

I enjoyed this thread too!  I think we only owe Upton 1 million.

We should get news about minor league rosters by mid week.
Any guesses? My bold prediction is Bo Bichette in Lansing.

Guerrero Jr starts in Dunedin is my guess.

As April is winding down, I remember this post and I wish things had only bed this bad.
The 6-17 reality is a complete nightmare.
