"Alcala has a power arm, with both his four-seamer and sinker having averaged around 97 miles per hour in his career. However, his results have been up and down over the years."
"Typically, a player will know in about 48 hours if someone claimed him via his upward mobility clause, so Alcala should be able to head towards his destination at some point before the weekend is through."
Jorge Alcala, a right-handed pitcher, has activated an upward mobility clause in his minor league contract with the Blue Jays, allowing him to be claimed by any MLB team. Alcala, who signed with the Jays in the offseason, struggled in spring training, posting a 7.71 ERA. His clause means he can only be claimed if a team offers him a roster spot. Alcala has a history of injuries and inconsistent performance, with a career ERA of 4.29 over 218 1/3 innings. He will know within 48 hours if he is claimed.
