The Toronto Blue Jays, like many teams around the league, are deciding which of their minor league prospects will get an extended look.
Earlier this month, Toronto announced their first five non-roster invitees.. Today, they added 18 more.
OFFICIAL: We've invited the following internal non-roster players to #SpringTraining!
Among them are the usual suspects, many of whom got looks last year.
These include top prospects Arjun Nimmala, Josh Kasevich, Josh Rivera, Gage Stanifer and meme king Robert Brooks.
There are also some new faces such as catcher Aaron Parker and pitchers Javen Coleman and Chay Yeager
Others include infielders Riley Tirotta, Cutter Coffey, and Charles McAdoo; breakout third base prospect Sean Keys; pitchers Chad Dallas, Ryan Jennings Fernando Perez, and CJ Van Eyk catcher Edward Duran, and power hitting outfielder RJ Schreck.
While none of the players listed above are expected to make the opening day roster, there are several who are near-major league ready such Stanifer, Kasevich, and Shreck, who could be the 2026 version of Alan Roden.
