The Toronto Blue Jays have added two new players to their World Series roster: Ty France and Bo Bichette. While Bichette's addition is garnering significant attention, France's inclusion could also prove strategic in late-game situations.
France, a first baseman and designated hitter, was acquired from the Minnesota Twins before the MLB trade deadline. He performed well in the second half of the season, with a slash line of .277/.320/.372, including one home run, six doubles, and eight RBI in 94 at-bats.
The addition of France and Bichette replaces outfielder Joey Loperfido and pitcher Yariel Rodriguez on the roster.
This marks France's first postseason appearance with the Blue Jays this season.
