Former Toronto Blue Jays fireballer signs with the Piratas de Campeche of the Mexican League

Giles 34, signed with the team on Monday and there are no contract details disclosed as of yet, but it appears the team and their fans are happy to have him.

When the Blue Jays picked up Giles in the Roberto Osuna trade on July 30, 2018, he came with his baggage.

We all saw the video of him hitting himself. The Astros had sent him to the minors when he had a poor start to the 2018 season.

Of course, Osuna's issues forced the Jays into making the trade, so we expected a discounted return. Along with Giles, the Astros sent David Paulino and Hector Perez.

In his three years with the Jays, Giles had a 2.83 ERA and 38 saves (with just 1 blown save), which puts him 10th in Blue Jays history.

In 2019, he was injured at the trade deadline, which stopped the Jays from trying to trade him. And, of course, in 2020, he only played four games before missing the rest of the season and then having Tommy John surgery in September.

The Mariners signed Ken to a two-year, $7 million contract before the 2021 season (with a team option for a third year).

He pitched 4.1 innings for them in 2022 and was released at the end of the season. Since then, he's thrown in the Giants and Dodgers systems.

This year, he pitched in the minors with the Braves. Now he will try his had in the Mexican League.

In an 8-season MLB career, Giles has a 2.71 ERA in 362 games, with 115 saves.

When he was healthy, he was a lot of fun to watch.

He was a sure thing in safe situations. Throwing high 90s fastballs and a wicked slider, he might not have been 100 Miles Giles by the time he was with the Jays, but he still could blow a fastball by a hitter.
