Oh man, I love that signing.
400 career strike outs in 282.1 innings.
41 saves in 2019. Coming off of an injury and only pitched 4.1 innings last year.
This is the Jays finding quality BP pieces from the bargain bin again, and in this case a proven high leverage arm.

" Following a strong first season in San Diego in 2017, Yates added a splitter to his arsenal and saw his career take off; in 2018-19, Yates led all qualified relievers with a 1.67 ERA and ranked third with a 2.14 SIERA over the life of 123 2/3 innings. Along the way, he struck out a whopping 38.7 percent of the hitters he faced, while walking just 6.1 percent of opponents. Among qualified MLB relievers, only Josh Hader and Edwin Diaz topped him in terms of K-BB% during that time."
