I have a feeling the Blue Jays might have pulled a “Chris Sale” move out of their hats on this one. Sign him for closer to slot and fast-forward his service time clock. Given that he’s apparently MLB ready and their current bullpen is, well, not… I’d be surprised if he’s still in the minors in a month.
But, then again, its AA. So, what do I know?

The Jays need starting pitching if they will make something happen this year, better to leave him in the minors if they view him as a starter.

I was mentioning this as a possibility yesterday. Sign him at slot, and then a quick call up and sign an extension. Yes, it starts the service clock, but if he’s really MLB ready or close to it, then it shouldn’t really matter.

Black Kimbrel will be a welcome addition in about a month or so.
