Bluebird and right Connor Overton According to the MLB.com transaction log, please agree to the secondary alliance contract. KHG Sports Clients did spring training with the Mets and did a good job (5 1/3 innings, 6 hits twice, 1 walk, three strikeouts), but did not play in the club and was released in late March. Now, he will return to the Blue Jays, where he made his MLB debut in 2021. He will go directly to Triple-A Buffalo.
The 31-year-old Overton spent a major league time on part of three seasons, suitable for the Jays, the Buccaneers and the Reds. He shot 59 1/3 from the field and had an ERA of 4.85 ERA at the time. Overton’s opponent had 15.7% speed, sent out a walk with a 9.4% clip and placed 38.7% of his opponent’s hit ball on the ground.
All of these rate statistics are worse than their respective Major League Baseball averages, but Overton has a strong track record in Triple-A. He entered five seasons as part of his five seasons, with a total of 116 1/3 innings, an ERA of 3.87, strikeout rate of 21.4%, a walking rate of 5.3% and a ground ball rate of 44.8%.
Jays is currently operating four starters: Kevin Gausman,,,,, Chris Bassitt,,,,, Jose Berrios and Bowden Francis. The Future Hall of Fame Max Shezer In the winter, a one-year deal was signed, but the neurological problems in his thumb had caused other problems with his right arm. Toronto becomes left-handed Easton Lucas For four games, two of them were excellent (combined 10 1/3 closed-door innings), and two of them were disastrous (combined 14 runs in 6 2/3 frames). They recently called 27-year-old right Paxton Schultz For his MLB debut, he threw out 4 1/3 of the long-term relief there.
Schultz can get into fifth place in the spin, and Toronto has the right one Jack Bruce In Triple A. His start to the 2025 season was tough, but Bloss ranked in the backend of multiple top 100 prospects last year, which was key to the return Jays received when trading Yusei Kikuchi Go to the Astronaut.
Blue Jays is more depth than Schultz, Bloss and Lucas are quite thin, which is largely due to injuries. Alek Manoah UCL surgery is still under repair and it is not an option until the second half of the season. left handed Ricky Tiedemann Before Tommy John’s surgery last July, it was widely regarded as one of the most important pitching prospects in any baseball game. Right-leaning TJ Brock Tommy John had surgery in January. Southpaw Adam Macko In the early stages of spring training, surgery was performed in late February. Tiedemann, Macko and Brock are considered three of Toronto’s best and close to the MLB’s pitching prospects. veteran Eric Lauer Signed a minor league deal at Triple-A Buffalo, but his season also had a tough start.
Given all the uncertainty, it is not surprising to see Jays turn to a familiar face to provide further depth to the staff. Overton won’t be a straightforward option, but if he does a great job in his first few turns with the Bisons, he might find himself looking big late next month or earlier this summer.
