Watch: Blue Jays embarrass star relief pitcher over fantasy football record

By Adam Gretz | Last updated 2/24/24

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tim Mayza has developed into one of the American League's best relief pitchers over the past three seasons. He is apparently far more successful as a relief pitcher than a fantasy football manager, as we all found out on Saturday.

As punishment for losing the Blue Jays' fantasy football league, Mayza had to serve as the team's bat boy during their spring training opener on Saturday while wearing a jersey with his fantasy football record on the back.

That record? A rather dismal 4-10.

Have a look.

Now that is a quality punishment from his teammates.

Mayza's record on the mound has been a far more impressive 20-7 for his career, including a 16-4 mark over the past three seasons. He also owned a 1.52 ERA out of the bullpen for the Blue Jays. He figures to be a key part of the bullpen again this season as they try to compete in a stacked American League East.
