[BNS] Only Manoah didn’t immediately report to Buffalo, the way players typically do. Instead he’s staying in Toronto with the big-league team’s blessing while the Blue Jays play on the road in Cincinnati and Baltimore — a less conventional approach with next steps yet to be determined.

Something seems hinky.
wtf is going on?
definitely feels like his problem is mental and he’s working on his craft away from any form of spotlight
RA Dickey spotted in Toronto 👀 Manoah knuckleball incoming
Saw him strolling the boardwalk at Sunnyside on Sunday.
Is he refusing to go down because of an ego? Even the last stint they brought him up too prematurely. This is all too fishy
Team shink in Toronto
On the one hand, I respect the guy’s need for privacy if this is indeed something more psychological that they’re working through rather than mechanical.
But like, these cagey-ass responses the team has been giving is just leading to wild speculation that’s so much worse than if they just gave a direct, two-sentence-no-further-comment, clear answer about what the fucking plan is here.
This could absolutely be a nothing-burger but literally no one will believe that and will read all sorts of things between the lines of the vagueness they keep putting out.
Move him in off season. He should be in Buffalo, period.
We have our core of starters back. Gausman, Bassit, Berrios, Ryu, Kikuchi. He would be a very good bullpen arm that can give you 2 innings high leverage middle relief.
He has to report to Buffalo, what do u mean with the teams blessing? there’s zero proof of that
