Aaron Sanchez Attracting Interest From Teams
Free-agent right-hander Aaron Sanchez won the Dominican Winter League's Pitcher of the Year award and is attracting interest from MLB teams, league sources told Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. In his eight starts over 46 1/3 innings in the Dominican league, Sanchez had a shiny 1.55 ERA. The 33-year-old veteran sat out last season and hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2022. Sanchez came up as a top prospect and is best known for his time with the Toronto Blue Jays. He was an All-Star in 2016, when he went 15-2 with a 3.00 ERA. Injuries (mostly blister issues) got the best of him from 2017 to 2022, though, and he had a bloated 5.29 ERA in that span. At Triple-A Buffalo in 2024, Sanchez was even worse with a 7.92 ERA in 61 1/3 innings. His impressive work this winter came in a small sample size, but it could be enough to give him another shot on an MLB roster in 2026.
