Yesterday the minor league rosters for three of the Toronto Blue Jays minor league affiliates, the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Single-A Lansing Lugnuts, were announced. I didn’t have time to post it right away but in hindsight the timing worked out well as MiLB.com has since updated the rosters for the Dunedin Blue Jays too so we now know the projected opening day rosters for each for the Jays’ full season affiliates.
For the most part rosters have been finalized but a few minor changes may still happen once the Blue Jays decide what they are doing with their catching situation at the major league level.
