I mean, so this is technically speaking, okay?

And look, feel free, everyone listening, feel free to hit the skip 30 a few times.

Like, no, I won't be offended.

So I'm about to go into some even nerdier territory right here.

But if...

the Blue Jays wanted to.

And if they felt like they just needed innings, they could actually add Austin Voth again because technically he was an option.

So you don't need to abide by the option rules where he has to be in the minor leagues for a certain period of time.

He technically has hit free agency.

So if they wanted to, they could re-sign him, select his contract, and then you're not...

You don't have to follow those rules.

So again, it did not look good.

Austin Voth, command-wise, stuff-wise, it did not look good.

But this is not a good situation.

The Blue Jays are not where they want to be.

They don't have those good options.

So that is, technically speaking, one possibility.

And you see teams like Atlanta doing that with Carlos Carrasco.

That's why they do it.

It's because then you kind of circumvent that rule where a player has to be in the minors for X number of days.
