Brooks Hatch Blog: Toronto Acquires Pitcher Sam Gaviglio

Happy Friday, everyone, from the world-wide headquarters (WWHQ) of the Corvallis Knights, your 2016-2017 West Coast League champions!

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired alum Sam Gaviglio (2009) from Kansas City on March 21 for a player to be named later, or cash considerations. Toronto put the former Oregon State star on its 40-man MLB roster but optioned him to the triple-A Buffalo of the International League.

Gaviglio made 13 starts and pitched in 16 games last season, his first in the majors, split between the Royals and Mariners. The 27-year-old righty went 4-5 with a 4.36 ERA and had 49 strikeouts in 74.1 innings.

He adds depth to the Toronto organization, which recently lost lefty Thomas Pannone for 80 games after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance.
