Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Palmegiani moved to Surrey when he was six years old and grew up playing with Cloverdale Minor Baseball until he was 13. Years later, he moved to the U.S. to play junior college baseball at the College of Southern Nevada.
The backstory is that Matt Gage probably sucks
he's 30.
Toronto was his 4th organization and he was in the Mexican league in 2019.
I guess sucks might be harsh - he might be a replacement level arm - but the only ones on the 40 man right now that you could really want to lose in his favour would be Hatch/Thompson. And I can see why they are keeping Hatch/Thompson around... you need optionable SP depth even if it is bad.
