Blue Jays Reportedly Signing Clay Buchholz
The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly signed free agent starting pitcher Clay Buchholz. The veteran of 11 seasons signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays today pending a physical.
Clay Bucholz spent his 2018 season playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks and posted a 2.01ERA over 98 innings pitched. He immediately gives the Blue Jays a veteran arm who has experience in the American League East having spent 9 of his 11 seasons with the Boston Red Sox.
I wrote back in December about how the Blue Jays could take a chance on Clay Buchholz, and that he could be had for the 3-5 million mark, and MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports the contract could be worth up to $6 million if incentives are met.
