Former MLB pitcher Phillipe Aumont is not pursuing a farm-to-fable return to the majors after all. Aumont’s name appeared in the Blue Jays’ transactions log on Tuesday, indicating he had signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays – six years after he retired from baseball to become a full-time farmer. As it turns out, the 37-year-old’s “unretirement” was merely an administrative move so he could participate in this year’s World Baseball Classic for Team Canada.
