Thole had his contract go non-tendered by the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

After a frustrating 2015 season for Thole, where he was brought back and forth between the minors and the majors a handful of times, the catcher will not be brought back by the Blue Jays. The 29-year-old will become a free agent in 2016, and he won't be anything more than a backup catcher wherever he ends up.
