LOS ANGELES – Yosver Zulueta is moving fast this season so it makes sense that his Futures Game experience would zip by in a flash, too.
A stone’s throw from the majors, for a club desperate for an arm like his, and with a 40-man roster spot earmarked for him this fall anyway, the possibility is on the brain for him and others in the organization. The Blue Jays have twice traded players they sent to the Futures Game only a couple weeks later – Jairo Labourt in 2015 as part of the package for David Price and Austin Martin in the deal for Jose Berrios last year – and their system is still deep enough to engage on anyone from Soto on down.
Using extra international bonus pool space acquired in deals sending off Kendrys Morales and Dwight Smith Jr., the Blue Jays plucked him out of a showcase in the Dominican Republic. They had some history on Zulueta from his appearance at the world junior championships and a stint with the Cuban senior national during its tour of the Canadian-American Assocation in 2017.
