Blue Jays Designate Rodriguez for Assignment
Update: 2025-12-06
Description
The Toronto Blue Jays have designated pitcher Yariel Rodriguez for assignment, removing him from their forty-man roster. Despite still having two years and fifteen million dollars guaranteed on his contract, Rodriguez, a right-hander from Cuba, has cleared waivers and is now within the organizations control. The move, which has left fans and analysts puzzled, could indicate the teams plans for new signings or trades during the upcoming winter meetings. Rodriguez, who struggled as a starter but found success in the bullpen, can still attend spring training and try to earn a spot back on the forty-man roster. If not, he may be assigned to the minor leagues or traded, with the Blue Jays likely needing to cover a significant portion of his remaining salary.
