So the minor league signings are coming fast now.
The Jays are going to sign Sunscreen Boy, Clay Buchholz to a minor league deal. Or at least I’m guessing a minor league contract, with a major league number:
Sources: Blue Jays to sign RHP Clay Buchholz. Buchholz was 7-2 with a 2.01 ERA in 16 starts for the Dbacks in 2018.

Buchholz was a Red Sox for 10 seasons, before being traded to the Phillies in December of 2016. He didn’t have a good time with the Phillies, pitching just 7.1 innings in 2017. He was signed and released by the Royals after that and then the Diamondback after that.
Career he has a 4.24 ERA (4.00) FIP in 224 games, 206 starts. He’s 34.
And I’ll admit to not being a fan. I’m hoping this doesn’t mean we are sending Ryan Borucki to the minors.
Quick, buy stock in companies which make sunscreen.
Update #1
Here are the financial details
Buchholz deal with jays is thought to be for about 3M plus 3M in incentives. Pending physical.
