I do wonder if the Jays had to s*** or get off the pot with White. His allowable rehab time in AAA had come to an end, and they cited another injury (arm fatigue maybe?), which perhaps bought them more time to leave him in AAA. They may have caught some flack over that and were required to make a move with him?
No matter how s***** he was in AAA, he's under control until 2027 and thus simply wasn't an asset the Jays were going to let go. Certainly not over a 35 year old, s***** reliever who's a FA at the end of the year.
