in trade for David Phelps at the end of June 2019. I remember being happy about the trade . He looked like a reasonable prospect at the time.Since coming to the Jays, he’s had 40.1 innings in the majors, 21 games, 4 starts, with a 5.58 ERA. He looked pretty good, coming out of the pen in 2020. Last year he made a crappy spot start, giving up 10 earned in 4.2 innings.
At Buffalo, over the past two seasons, he pitched in 43 games, 36 starts with a 4.88 ERA. In 195.2 innings, he allowed 185 hits, 26 home runs, and 57 walks with 183 strikeouts.He did get ripped off some. He did well as a reliever in 2019, and likely could have continued to, but the team decided that we didn’t have much starting depth, and moved Thomas back to the rotation in Buffalo, waiting for a moment that didn’t come.
Beyond that, he’d be behind Nate Pearson , Yosver Zulueta, Zach Thompson, Drew Hutchison, Mitch White, and maybe Casey Lawrence. And, as the season goes on, Ricky Tiedemann and maybe others will pass him by.If he has a good spring, he might move up a few spots, but I think he is more likely to be DFAed if some non-roster player makes the team.
Steamer figures he’ll get into 20 MLB games, totalling 20 innings, all out of the bullpen, with a 4.01 ERA.
