Mat Latos will not make Opening Day roster for Blue Jays

Mat Latos has been told by the Blue Jays he will not make the major league roster.

According to Jays radio broadcaster Mike Wilner, the 29-year-old needs to decide if he wants to accept a Triple-A assignment or elect as a free agent.

Latos was signed to a minor-league deal in February with an invite to major league camp. He has eight seasons under his belt with a career 3.60 ERA and 1.202 WHIP across seven teams and a few stints in the minors. He also has an extremely low 5.40 K/9 rate in 2016.

It’ll be interesting to see what he decides on his next move and if teams will take a chance.
