The Toronto Blue Jays announced a long list of roster moves this afternoon as they have also parted ways with two more players.

The Blue Jays were expected to make a qualifying offer to Bo Bichette some time today and it has just been confirmed that they have made the offer.

Blue Jays announce multiple roster moves

The official opening for free agency begins this evening at 5 PM which is why the Blue Jays are getting ready by shaking around their roster a bit before it begins.
The Blue Jays announced that they have re-instated Angel Bastardo, Bowden Francis, Yimi Garcia and Nick Sandlin from 60 day IL.
Additionally, Brandon Valenzuela has been selected to the major league roster while Ryan Burr and Dillon Tate have both cleared waivers and elected free agency.
