Blue Jays Bring Back Knuckleball | Toronto News

The Blue Jays just pulled off a wild move by snagging knuckleball specialist Matt Waldron off waivers from the Padres — making him the only active MLB pitcher who regularly throws the rare, vintage pitch. Once thought extinct in the majors after a six-year drought, Waldron’s arrival adds intrigue to a bullpen already shaken by injuries, including Patrick Corbin’s 60-day IL stint. Fans will remember R.A. Dickey, the last Cy Young winner to master the knuckler, and wonder if Waldron can revive that old-school magic in today’s game.
