Was this just Ross Atkins doing us all a solid, or what?

Maybe there was an actual reason for this or maybe it was because the front office was bored and it was Transaction Friday, but the Blue Jays have <a href="https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/03/blue-jays-option-anthony-kay-sean-reid-foley.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter">optioned</a> Anthony Kay and Sean Reid-Foley to Triple-A Buffalo. So, they&#8217;re going from one team that isn&#8217;t playing games to another team that isn&#8217;t playing games. Exciting stuff!
Eight players have been optioned thus far (Kay, Reid-Foley, T.J. Zeuch, Julian Merryweather, Thomas Hatch, Hector Perez, Elvis Luciano, and Patrick Murphy, while Yennsy Diaz went on the 60-day Injured List) meaning the Jays have 32 players on their active roster.
Opening Day was supposed to be on this upcoming Thursday, but, as we know, that isn&#8217;t going to be the case due to COVID-19, so it isn&#8217;t like the Jays are in any rush to get down to the 26-player limit. Regardless, Kay and Reid-Foley aren&#8217;t going to crack the roster when baseball resumes, which isn&#8217;t much of surprise anyway.
