"A player has the right to reject an outright assignment and elect free agency if he has a previous career outright or at least three years of service time."
"It's possible that one or both pitchers will re-sign with the Jays, as that's a common outcome in these situations, but they can explore alternatives."
Josh Fleming and Austin Voth have cleared waivers and chosen free agency after being designated for assignment by the Blue Jays. Both pitchers were on minor league deals. The Blue Jays faced pitching staff challenges, including injuries. Voth started a game while battling the flu but was designated for assignment after Fleming was selected. Fleming pitched three innings after Max Scherzer was pulled due to injury. Both pitchers have enough service time to elect free agency and will explore offers, with a possibility of re-signing with the Jays.
