Claimed by the Blue Jays, Twitter reports.

I'll remember him for representing Team Israel in the WBC - who knew he was Jewish? Best of luck north of the border Ty!

I've already forgotten him.

Sad, soulful eyes. Human-proportioned body. Funny as heck on social media. Great comic spokesman for the lousy lot of minor leaguers. This'll be his second tour of duty with Toronto.

First thing I thought of was his remark that he usually plays for Bird teams, but actually turns out he'd been with Toronto org previously (also O's and Cards). I guess that's all the birds.

I wanna say he had 1 or 2 really big RBIs last year but I don't actually remember them. Anyway, he took his walks, played third or left or wherever, switch hit and stuff. Put aside No. 55 when Kelly Johnson came back.

I rarely say this about the Ty Kellys of the world when they are plucked in these kinds of transactions, but NOOOOO!!! OK, a little strong, but I grew really fond of this guy in the baseball sense. A hustler who got better as 2016 progressed. A 25th man who had the potential to become a 24th, maybe a 23rd man, depending on how you catalogue your excess relievers. Ty was the most recent link in the Hot Rod Kanehl-Teddy Martinez-Bob Bailor-Super Joe McEwing-Chris Woodward and whoever I'm leaving out chain. Could have been had he had a bit more time to forge his utility ways. I'll miss ya, Tyrus Raymond Kelly, A Genius In Spikes. Go kill the MFYs, or maybe Scranton.

Maybe he can pick up a pension before its' all done. Good luck Ty

Edgy MD Apr 10 2017 11:09 PM Re: Memories of Ty Kelly

He's got it in the bag. Major leaguers now earn a pension after just 43 days in the bigs. Kelly has rocked it for 76 days of big league service time. He's shakin' the money tree.

They'll claim him back when the Jays cut him.

I remember that yesterday someone said that at the plate he looked like a deer in the headlights.

Looks like there may be more memories created: Mets Bring Back Ty Kelly on Minors Deal

That's terrific! More funny.
