TORONTO — Highly touted free agent Yariel Rodriguez is set to make his Major League Baseball debut for the Toronto Blue Jays.
"He's a damn good pitcher and we're just looking to see him do his thing and compete," said Schneider in his office before the game."He's coming right after you, against an aggressive team, so no real expectations, just kind of anxious to see him get going."Rodriguez agreed to a US$32-million, five-year contract with the Blue Jays in the off-season. He has pitched as a starter and a reliever in top leagues in Cuba and Japan.
His last full baseball season was in 2022 when he had a 6-2 record as a reliever for the Chunichi Dragons in the Japan Central League with a 1.15 earned-run average over 56 appearances as a reliever.
