[Bannon] The #BlueJays have signed reliever Alfred Pesto III to a minor-league deal. On top of having an 80-grade name, the 25-year-old righty last pitched for Indy League Billings last year, striking out 27 in 25.1 innings, and rocking a 3.91 ERA.

This is one of the best names I’ve ever heard in my life
that’s a saucy name
Sauce man cometh
Lets Go Pesto!
*Alfredo Pesto Marinara the Third actually
Thatβs one of the most Yankees names Iβve ever heard, but hopefully Alfredo can get something going in our system
Don’t bother googling this guy to learn more about him, you’ll just end up in your kitchen making pasta
Is saucedo still actively playing?

I’m suddenly craving spaghetti
Delicious signing.
I had pesto sauce on my pasta yesterday.
Jimmy Pesto is really going to Lord this one over Bob ” hah my cousin got into the MLB, I bet you don’t have any family in the MLB BOB”
Jays getting saucy with it
Jays immediately thinking of new menu items at Rogers centre.
First time a minor league signing has made me hungry.
New set up man? Pesto with Romano closing out games is a tasty combo
Can’t tell me that’s not a Roger Smith character
Heβs got the sauce.
Romano brings the cheese.
Pesto brings the sauce.
Please tell me his middle initial is O
Took me 3 reads to realize his name is Alfred and not Alfredo. Praying he earns some big league time.
Alfredo Pesto? Creamy and savoury?
Hopefully he doesn’t throw any meatballs
I remember a time when a 3.91 was nothing to write home about and 25 innings is not a good sample size. Can we get a bit more? No way they signed him because of 25 innings
Alfredo Pesto
We also signed his personal catcher, Tony Rigatoni
