The Toronto Blue Jays have designated left-handed pitcher Tim Mayza for assignment after a decline in performance, including a high ERA this season. Mayza, a long-time member of the organization, has been replaced by Jose Cuas. Fans are now curious about Cuas' potential impact.

Back in Spring Training, I joked with a few of the relievers that I might write a story where I ask everyone on the 40-man roster: “Why do you like Tim Mayza so much?” — Almost did! An obvious baseball move, but a tough reality to move on after his 12 years in the #BlueJays org.
#BlueJays have made the following roster moves: • LHP Tim Mayza has been designated for assignment RHP Jose Cuas has been recalled from Buffalo and will be active for today’s game

Tim Mayza had been the longest tenured Jay. José Bautista was still there playing RF when Mayza made his debut. Pretty effective reliever for a while, but had a huge drop in both K and GB this year, this is a hard trend to overcome. https://t.co/u5rgwf59QS

Mayza, a 12th round pick in 2013, has been a big part of the Jays’ organization for a long time. Accountable and respected behind the scenes, but had an 8.03 ERA in 35 appearances so Jays call up Jose Cuas. https://t.co/ukhTfwiAd3
The #BlueJays have DFA’d LH Tim Mayza for after a dismal 1st 1/2 including 5 straight #Yankees reaching base Friday. Something had to be done and Brendon Little and Genesis Cabrera are Lefty options. Likely clears waivers and hopefully they assign him to AAA to work his way back.
