Matthew Boyd, a former left-handed pitching prospect for the Blue Jays, turns 33 today. Despite facing injury troubles and being traded multiple times, Boyd has had a nine-year career with a 4.94 ERA in 174 games, 160 starts.
There are five former Blue Jays who have birthdays today. First, Matthew Boyd turns 33 today. Boyd was a left-handed pitching prospect for the Jays. On our 2015 Top 40 Prospect list, we had him at #15. He was a lefty who didn’t throw all that hard but mixed in a breaking ball and a change. In 2015, he made a couple of spot starts for us. They didn’t go well. Matt gave up 4 runs in 6.2 innings against the Rangers on June 27.
Then, on July 2, he gave up 7 earned without getting an out against the Red Sox. On July 30, Alex traded him, Daniel Norris, and Jairo Labourt to the Tigers for David Price. Matthew’s injury troubles in 2021 limited him to 15 starts (good ones, 3.89 ERA). Before the 2022 season, he signed with the Giants but never pitched for them. San Fransico traded him to the Mariners in August. He made ten relief appearances for the M’s (and one in the ALDS). He was back with the Tigers last year but had Tommy John surgery in late June. The odds are long that he pitches in the majors this year. Boyd is 44-67 in his nine-year career with a 4.94 in 174 games, 160 start

Gerrit Cole's Unique Stench: Oysters, Turpentine, Mint, and Deep-Fried LederhosenAs Blue Jays fans we are legally obligated to be of the opinion that the New York Yankees stink.

I'm speaking, of course, of Gerrit Cole and how he reeks of oysters, turpentine, mint, and deep-fried lederhosen (which may or may not have once belonged to Taylor Swift).
