Sal's New Pals

Sal Fasano has signed a minor league contract with the Richmond Braves. I have to wonder about this move, since he refused to accept his assignment to the Chiefs. In articles posted by Blue Jays reporter Jordan Bastian, Fasano said he didn't see himself as a Triple A player. What a difference two weeks make, apparently.

I understand that this situation was not good for him. Toronto wants Robinzon Diaz and Curtis Thigpen here to improve in the position, as they are the future for the Blue Jays. But when he signed the minor league contract in December, how could he have been under the impression that he'd be in the majors...hence the MINOR league contract. Either way, I wish him the best. He was very enjoyable and the type of guy easily liked. From a business standpoint, both he and Toronto had to do what they felt was best. Toronto looks good in the catcher department, and maybe with new scenery, Fasano can once again make it back up to the majors.
