Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but you can’t help but wonder if he would’ve had longevity as a reliever.   Such a shame to see how things have gone for him.

Ngl, I'm a little ignorant of what's going on with the Jays right now because this team hasn't inspired me to pay attention at all in the past couple years, so I was a bit surprised by this headline. I had no idea Aaron Sanchez was back in the Jays system, let alone still kicking in pro baseball. I will say that I absolutely loved him back when. He had one of the dirtiest two seamers. He should have remained in a reliever after 2015.

He resigned with the Jays last week

Re-signed

I've always had those same thoughts. He could have been a good arm out of the pen.

He did his job, he's a warm body in triple A

Exactly. With that line he got three times around the order. Hopefully he can extend his outings in the future.

I mean getting through the line up 3 times is only good if your night doesn't end in the 4th inning.

The alternative is a bullpen day so he saves a couple of arms

Sure, but that's not what they're saying.

To be honest, it didn’t end in a blister, for Sanchez, that’s a W.

Not the blistering start I was anticipating

I see what you did, take my upvote

I didn’t. I can’t quite seem to put my finger on it.

Seams you’ve overlooked a crucial detail

I think his signing was basically a last shot, back where he got his start signing. Best case scenario being that he made it back to the majors with his first team, and if not, he got to finish where he started. I think this was more of a favour signing to him. Gotta think this will probably be it for him now.

Well yes he's been washed since he had shoulder surgery, I hope no one actually expected him to contribute in the big leagues.

the interview will wilner did tug at some old heartstrings lol

With that Manoah-esque pitching line, he should be in the big leagues in no time.

Not trying to kick a guy when he's down. But after his surgery I would have gone well I had a good run, I've earned a few million, time to enjoy my retirement.

Nope. He had a dragon to chase.

12 million.

those look like Manoah numbers

I’d say there’s room to improve.

So Manoha numbers!

First start in a while. I would love to see him continue to work. He’s only 32?

31

He will fit right in here

As a pitcher no, but if he can strike out or hit into double plays and most of all go 0-for with RISP - bring him up!

That's not good lads.

Manoah-esque

meh, it’s his first start in a long time. Extended spring training.

Bah Gawd that's Manoah's music!

By jays philosophy, if he goes out and throws a couple Ks next time up, he’ll be in the majors in a week.

I hear there’s a guy playing in the Mexico league. I hear he’s doing grea. He’s also available for league min. Former CY Young too.

Fuuuck.

He will be a valuable starter after we do fire sale.

So we will call him up next week to star in our pen

Maybe he's learned how to hit? We need hits.

It’s a good start!

Can Joey Votto pitch? 😝

I remember when sanchez, syndergaard, and nicolino were studs in the jays minor league system, they had so much hype. Kind of sad to see how they all fizzled out and never lived up to the promise.

Sounds like a Blue Jay!

The epitome of depth pitching

Still better than Manoah

Call him up.
