The decision was not in any way driven by Sankey’s performance … they decided to "Go Canadian " … DA got to show his stuff because Fjardo was out for a stretch … GCA hasn’t had that chance and was not going to get significant time at MLB unless Sankey was gone … those are the tough decisions GMs get paid to make … fingers crossed DM made the right one.
Yeah, ratio definitely drove the decision, but I’m still surprised. Not every day you see a perennial all-star playing at an elite level and only 30 cut in favour of a relatively unproven guy. In the case of Fajardo, Alexander had proven more and Cody was in no way an elite player.
