Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez has changed agents and will now be represented by Scott Boras, according to Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae.

Sanchez, 24, led the American League with a 3.00 ERA in 2016, his first full season in the starting rotation. He pitched 192 innings in the regular season, finishing seventh in AL Cy Young Award voting.

The right-hander will be eligible for arbitration in 2018 and is first eligible for free agency in 2021.

Before making this switch, Sanchez was represented by Legacy Agency.
