Blue Jays hoping Tanner Andrews could make the jump to the majors
Andrews is now on his fourth MLB organization after signing with the Blue Jays this week and has yet to make his MLB debut but the the Blue Jays are hoping that will change this season.
He hasn't pitched in an MLB game since he was drafted in 2018 by the Miami Marlins. He's logged time in three different systems, but Toronto is hoping the 30-year-old right-hander discovered something while with Staten Island in the Atlantic League. -Postins
During his time in independent baseball this year, Andrews finished with a perfect 0.00 ERA in 15 games to have a perfect record which turned the Minnesota Twins onto him.
There, he went 2-0 with no ERA in 15 appearances, including three saves. He struck out 25 and walked two in 13.2 innings. That landed him a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins. -Postins
After signing with the Twins earlier this season, ANdrews only pitched in Double-A but put up some very solid numbers as he finished with a 3.78 ERA in 16.2 innings pitched with 18 strikeouts.
The chances Andrews cracks the Blue Jays bullpen to start the season are very slim but there is however a chance that he proves himself in Triple-A then earns a call up if he pitches well to start the year.
While the Blue Jays are hoping for the best possible outcome from this signing, it is all up to Andrews to prove that he deserves a shot in the MLB.
