The Toronto Blue Jays release a 29-year-old catcher just two days before the end of the season, effectively ending his time with the team immediately ahead of the final games. Both outlets describe the move as happening right before the season’s conclusion.
The reports provide the same basic timing but do not add further details such as the reason for the release, whether it is tied to performance, injury status, or roster constraints, or who replaces him on the active roster. With limited information in the provided accounts, the context around the decision is not fully specified. The change is framed primarily as a late-season roster move affecting the team’s catching depth rather than as part of a broader trade or offseason plan.
