Blue Jays exercised RHP Casey Janssen's $4 million option for 2014. It was a no-brainer, as Janssen's first season as a full-time closer was a dandy. The right-hander has posted a 2.55 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 117/24 K/BB ratio across 116 1/3 frames the last two seasons while converting 56 of 61 save chances. He should be an elite closer again in 2014 before hitting free agency the following winter.
