Though it may not be the #TransactionFriday blockbuster that Blue Jays fans had wished for, the team has made a move! Cue fans rushing into Nightengale’s mentions to make the exact same “joke” about this not being a very significant move. But you know what? It’s actually kind of an interesting one. And as for significance, this guy pitched in the playoffs for the Blue Jays just three agonizingly long months ago! Sure, he only faced three batters and took the Game One loss after giving up a two-run shot to Manuel Margot, but still!
Like this move, and hope he's got some bullets left for the Jays in '21.
It might be biased by the fact I've watched way more Jays baseball than other teams, and it could be my imagination, and I've done no research on the matter, but the Jays seem to have had a knack for finding useful bullpen arms in dumpsters dives over recent years. It may of had to do with Gibby; seemed like there were a lot of Neil Wagner's and Tyler Clippards. Christ, even Todd Redmond had a 3.24 ERA over 63.2 innings in 2014. Let's hope this shit continues.
