BFMD 385 - Jays Sign KBO MVP Cody Ponce & Demote Yariel Rodriguez

Ahead of MLB's Winter Meetings in Orlando, the Blue Jays have made a couple of moves.

They have signed Cody Ponce, who was drafted in 2015 by the Brewers. He spent 5 years in the Brewers system before 3 years with the Pirates during which he never really figured it out. He then went to the Nipon League in Japan for 3 years before moving to Korea and earning MVP honours while striking out 252 batters.

The Jays also outrighted Yariel Rodriguez to the minors, leaving them with two open spots on the 40-man roster.
