With the recent signing of Max Scherzer the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to make move in order to make room for him on the 40-man roster, but what move will the club make?

All three of those moves required a 40-man roster move, and those clubs made space for their new additions by designating Osleivis Basabe, Cade Marlowe, and Alika Williams for assignment, respectively. One other as-of-yet not finalized addition that's been reported is Max Scherzer's one-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays 40-man roster is full, meaning the club would need to clear a spot in order to officially add Scherzer to the mix.
Perhaps that would come in the form of a DFA like the aforementioned trio of corresponding moves did, or maybe the Jays will be able to work out a trade involving a 40-man roster player in the coming days.

One other alternative at the club's disposal would be to wait out the nine days remaining until Toronto's pitchers and catchers are set to report for spring training, at which point the 60-day IL opens.
The Toronto Blue Jays are among a number of teams with likely 60-day IL candidates, and they could theoretically take advantage of that status in order to avoid losing a player from their 40-man roster to accommodate Scherzer.
With that being said Ross Atkins is expected to introduce Scherzer in an upcoming presser soon. Will the club make a move before then?
And what move will they make?
