INF Leo Jiménez and OF Joey Loperfido have been optioned to Triple-A
While both players going down to the minors is a shock to most fans, the biggest one is definitely Loperfido as most thought he was guaranteed a bench spot with the way he has been playing in Spring Training.
It will be interesting to see what the Blue Jays bench looks like to start the season but it seems like Alan Roden might actually land a spot.
Hopefully sending Loperfido down was the right move and he will improve and be back up in the majors in no time.
