Talk about having a strong farm system. Right-handed pitcher Phillippe Aumont, who left baseball after the 2020 season to become a farmer, has come out of retirement to sign a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays, according to the team’s transactions log. A native of Gatineau, Quebec, Aumont, 37, will attempt to resurrect his career with the defending American League champions — 11 years after he last threw a pitch in the majors.
