Morosi: Blue Jays Interested in George Sherrill - Jays Journal - Jays Journal - A Toronto Blue Jays Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

]]> Despite adding closer Sergio Santos at last week’s Winter Meetings in Dallas, we learned that Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos is still looking to improve his bullpen before the spring. According to FOX Sports’ Jon Morosi late last night (via Twitter), one hurler that is on the Jays’ radar is left-handed reliever George Sherrill.

I last took a look at Sherrill at the beginning of October as a free agent option for the Jays, and if John Farrell could cater to his strengths, he remains a possible option as a lefty specialist in 2012.

]]> Near the end of September, Alex Anthopoulos told the media that the Jays are “certainly going to have to go the free agent route in the bullpen” this offseason, saying that the team just doesn’t have enough quality internal options heading into 2012. That’s not surprising, as the Jays sent Marc Rzepczynski, Octavio Dotel, and Jason Frasor packing in order to acquire Colby Rasmus in July, and all three of Shawn Camp, Frank Francisco, and Jon Rauch likely won’t be returning next season, either, so the Jays’ ‘pen is pretty bare at the moment.
