I'd love to see them sign him in the offseason and get Walker and the boys in Dunedin working with him - I think there's a chance a move to Canada unleashes what he was in his rookie year. Sort of the baseball version of Sam Bennett going to Florida.

I think the Jays are happy with the starting 5 right now, but it would be good to have an insurance policy to cover some innings. Even it's to give one of the several vets on the staff some time off. They also don't really have a long man out of the pen at the moment. I think Soroka can fill that role, but yeah not a top end need, just some depth.
