This is an interesting move by the Blue Jays who have now signed two players recovering from Tommy John surgery.
While this move will not benefit the Blue Jays this season, it is clearly a great move for the future as Winckowski has proven to a solid pitcher finishing with a 3.86 ERA in 11.2 innings last season.
Winckowski was actually drafted by the Blue Jays back in 2016 before being trade to Boston in 2021.
The Blue Jays goal with Winckowski is to help him rehab and slowly bring him back as a starting pitcher which is an interesting move given how many they currently have on their roster.
Ross Atkins seems to be focus on 2026 but is keeping an eye on the future as well with these new moves.
