The Dunedin Blue Jays were swept in the FSL Final by the Mets. Rafael Sanchez surrendered all six runs in 3-2/3 innings, giving up a home run and eight other hits while striking out two.

Doughty was doubled off at second on an Estiven Machado line out to third to end the game with Machado being the tying run at the plate. Josh Kasevich had a hit and a walk. Machado and Devonte Brown each had a single. Alan Roden walked and was plunked, Ryan McCarty took one for the team and Victor Mesia walked.

Barger goes to AAA and later the AFL while Orelvis does not.

Barger's season shows that he can handle this. Orelvis is 2 years younger and had a very similar season except the very low batting Average which is a very significant difference. I assume Orelvis will concentrate this off season and next season on solving this.

Both need rule 5 protection and I assume they will get it. It seems that Barger will get a ML opportunity earlier than Orelvis.

Orelvis will play in the Winter Leagues rather than the AFL. Nothing to see there.

Emmanuel Bonilla linked to the Jays ranked #4 on Baseball America's 2023 International Bonus Board.
6'2", great bat speed, plus runner with strong arm. Might stick in center but probable move to right field.
Expected to sign for around $ 4 million

Thanks, mendocino.  The reports are helpful, and your screen name reminds me of Kate and Anna McGarrigle's brilliant first record.
