Ricky Tiedemann heads to Triple-A as the Blue Jays aggressively refine their pitching staff for a massive season.
Spring training always brings incredibly tough decisions for any front office trying to build a championship roster.
Sending beloved young players down to the minor leagues is a harsh reality of professional baseball.
But these vital roster moves are exactly what this organization needs to guarantee maximum depth this summer.
Manager John Schneider is meticulously crafting an absolute powerhouse of a pitching staff right now.
Blue Jays insider Keegan Matheson shared the exact official list of these massive afternoon roster decisions today.
#BlueJays announce some more internal roster moves:
RHP Jake Bloss and LHP Ricky Tiedemann have been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo
RHP Tanner Andrews, RHP Nate Garkow, and RHP Chay Yeager have been reassigned to Minor League camp.
RHP Jake Bloss and LHP Ricky Tiedemann have been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo
RHP Tanner Andrews, RHP Nate Garkow, and RHP Chay Yeager have been reassigned to Minor League camp.
Ricky Tiedemann (Age 23, Drafted 3rd Round, 2021 by Toronto Blue Jays) officially heads to Buffalo.
The electric southpaw posted a 5.19 ERA during his heavily disrupted minor league run previously.
He simply needs consistent repetitions to fully harness his devastating raw stuff before dominating the major leagues.
Jake Bloss (Age 24, Drafted 3rd Round, 2023 by Houston Astros) also joins him in Triple-A.
Bloss recorded 11 strikeouts during his major league debut season and possesses immense natural potential.
The minor league system is building unstoppable momentum
Fans are breathing a massive sigh of relief knowing our young arms are getting proper development time.
Rushing highly talented pitchers is a massive mistake, and the front office is avoiding it beautifully.
Nate Garkow (Age 28, Undrafted, Signed in 2024 by Toronto) was officially reassigned to minor league camp.
Garkow delivered a brilliant 3.19 ERA while striking out 86 batters across multiple levels last year.
His remarkable underdog story proves that relentless hard work always gets rewarded in this beautiful sport.
Chay Yeager (Age 23, Drafted 12th Round, 2023 by Toronto Blue Jays) also heads down today.
He posted an impressive 2.75 ERA and racked up 64 strikeouts during a magical 2025 season.
Tanner Andrews (Age 30, Drafted 10th Round, 2018 by Miami Marlins) rounds out this specific group of cuts.
Every single repetition these guys take in the minors brings them closer to the Rogers Centre mound.
This incredible organizational depth is precisely what separates the true contenders from the absolute pretenders.
We are watching the absolute foundation of our next championship run being poured right now.
Let us support these hungry athletes as they fight their way back to the ultimate major league stage.
