Sam Gaviglio is a former 5th round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals, however, he made his MLB debut last season with the Seattle Mariners before heading to Kansas City on a waiver claim late in the season.
The 27-year old struggled this spring giving up eight earned runs in only seven innings of work thus ballooning his preseason earned run average to 10.29, hardly the stat line he had hoped trying to make the Royals bullpen out of spring training.
#BlueJays acquire right-hander Sam Gaviglio from #Royals for cash considerations.
