Blue Jays: The Aaron Sanchez extension debate is probably over

When Aaron Sanchez had to leave his May 17th start early because of a blister that was developing on his pitching hand, Blue Jays fans everywhere dropped their heads in frustration and disappointment.

Not this again.

The 2016 American League ERA leader has basically had his last two seasons wiped out because of fingernail, blister, and tendon issues on his pitching hand, making just eight starts in 2017 and 20 in 2018 before having to be shut down each year. The hope was that 2019 would finally bring health and the realization of so much promise from the talented right-hander.
