The Toronto Blue Jays have exercised their two-year club option on pitcher Chad Green. The option is worth $21 million. This move strengthens the team's bullpen and reduces concerns about Jordan Hicks leaving in free agency. Additionally, the Blue Jays have acquired left-handed pitcher Brendon Little from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for cash. Little, a former first-rounder, has a high strikeout rate but also a high walk rate in the minors. The Blue Jays have also added Mitch White to their 40-man roster. In another development, Matt Chapman has been given a qualifying offer.
