How good does your team have to be to option someone hitting .358 to Triple-A? The Blue Jays had to make a tough roster decision.

With the expanded rosters in mind, Toronto choosing to hold onto a guy like Myles Straw who is out of options and sending down Loperfido instead made sense. Straw can provide value as a pinch runner and defensive replacement, and could've easily been claimed off waivers. This move ensures the Jays will contain their depth, which is crucial.

Toronto has reached an agreement with South Korean pitching prospect Seo-jun Moon, on a deal including a $1.5-million signing bonus, Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling reports. The 18-year-old right-hander is listed at six-foot-five and has a low 90's fastball that touches 95 m.p.h. and owns the advanced ability to spin the ball, according to Zwelling.
