John Gibbons said Friday the #BlueJays were kicking around skipping an Aaron Sanchez start soon. This is a way for them to curtail workload

FWIW: #BlueJays starters are 30-9 with a 2.91 ERA in 56 starts on 4 days rest.
They’re 10-12 with a 4.72 ERA in 34 starts on 5 days rest.

Not only are the Jays a much better team right now than they were a week ago, their farm system is also somehow stronger. Very good stuff.

Gibbons was in a lengthy meeting with Sanchez, Pete Walker and Dane Johnson. Wouldn't reveal firm plan beyond Friday. #BlueJays #MLB

Blue Jays confirm they've acquired Francisco Liriano, catcher Reese McGuire & outfielder Harold Ramirez from the Pirates for Drew Hutchison.

Sanchez is going to the bullpen. Atkins said #BlueJays finalized that decision earlier this month. Exact timing to be worked out.

Atkins: We had some financial flexibility that allowed us to acquire prospects in the Liriano deal. #Bluejays #Jays

Russ Martin says he's excited to catch Liriano again. Feels they had great chemistry and is confident he's much better than #s this yr.
