The Blue Jays cut ties with catcher Luke Maile, right-hander Derek Law and right-hander Jason Adam prior to Monday night’s deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players. Infielder Brandon Drury, closer Ken Giles, starter Matt Shoemaker and right-hander Anthony Bass were all tendered contracts. Maile was projected by MLB Trade Rumors to earn $800,000 (all dollars U.S.) through arbitration. The biggest surprise of the day from a Blue Jays’ perspective might have been Toronto’s decision to tender a contract to Drury. In 128 games for Toronto, Drury has hit .214 with a .261 on-base percentage and a weak .632 OPS.
