The Blue Jays also non-tendered pitcher Tom Koehler. Over the last two seasons at shortstop, Goins graded out slightly better than Diaz according to Fangraphs’ data but they were both below average. It was also revealed Friday that Andrew Tinnish, a Blue Jays assistant general manager, had changed his mind about taking a job with the Atlanta Braves. He had agreed to join Alex Anthopoulos, the Braves’ new general manager and Tinnish’s former Blue Jays boss, as Atlanta’s vice-president of amateur and international scouting. Atlanta said Tinnish changed his mind because of family considerations, opting to remain with the Blue Jays.
