Pearson, Parsons and White Make The Opening Roster

PhotoPhoto by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via The Jays have made some roster moves: Making the team: Nate Pearson Mitch White Wes Parsons Optioned: Zach Pop Yariel Rodriguez (they want to build up his arm) Injury List: Jordan Romano Erik Swanson And “likely” Alek Manoah (He threw 34 pitches in a sim game today. It looks like the team wants guys who can give them innings in the last three spots in the pen. Wes Parsons is the one who surprises me. Parson had a 4.22 ERA in 10.2 spring innings. He allowed 10 hits, 5 earned, 8 walks, 3 hit batters and 8...

Better Know Your Blue Jays 40-Man: Mitch White

Better Know Your Blue Jays 40-Man: Mitch White

Photo by Mike Carlson/MLB Photos via Mitch White is a 29-year-old right-handed pitcher who came to us in a trade from the Dodgers on August 2nd, 2022. We sent Moises Brito and Nick Frasso to LA for him and Alex De Jesus. I was a fan of Nick Frasso, so I wasn’t thrilled with the trade. Frasso is now 25 and ranked #97 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list. He spent most of 2023 in Double-A and made four starts at Triple-A at the end of the season. In 25 starts, he had a 3.77 ERA, 31 walks, and 107 strikeouts in 93 innings. Brito pitched in the Dominican...

Quick Recap: Jays Beat Red Sox

Quick Recap: Jays Beat Red Sox

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports Red Sox 1 Blue Jays 5 We got a very nice start from Mitch White. 5.2 innings (and after 3 I figured he was done). 2 hits (one a home run), 1 walk and 6 strikeouts, giving up just the 1 earned. There weren’t many (any?) Red Sox regulars in the lineup, but Mitch kept pumping strikes. He left the game with 78 pitches. Tim Mayza: 0.1. 5.79. Chad Green: 1 inning, 1 k. 9.45. Trevor Richards: 2 innings, 1 hit, walk (tough call on ball four), 4 K. He seemed to be missing arm side a lot and looked like he tired a bit in the second...

Mitch White gets the start. He’s in the running for the fifth starter job, with it very unlikely Alek Manoah will be read to start the season.

Thursday Bantering and Spring GameThread

Thursday Bantering and Spring GameThread

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via I will be our for most of the afternoon, so use this as a GameThread. It is on Sportsnet tonight. I should be back around game time. I might as well start with the bad news: Alek Manoah was to throw a bullpen session today, but his shoulder is still sore, and he’s back to day-to-day. There is less and less chance he’ll start the season in the rotation. It makes an opening for Bowden Francis or Mitch White (or both). Some good news from Erik Swanson: “We feel the support,” he said. “We felt everybody’s prayers,...
