Breyvic Valera: Released, heading to foreign league

Valera was released by the Blue Jays on Tuesday in order to pursue an opportunity in a foreign league, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Valera appeared in 39 games for Toronto in 2021 and hit .253/.313/.356 with one homer, 15 RBI and 10 runs in 97 plate appearances. It's unclear which league he's moving to, but the 29-year-old won't open 2022 in a major-league system.
