“Definitely not even close to being me,” Danner wrote on X. “What do we got @Topps?? Told you guys it wasn’t me and still released.”
Danner is currently at triple-A Buffalo with the Bisons and is on the Jays’ 40-man roster. He was the triple-A pitcher brought up in August when the Jays sent Alek Manoah back to the minors for the second time last season.
Another professional pitcher, Bradin Hagens, seemed to set the record straight, replying to the post to say that “that is definitely me from my time in double AA Mobile back in either 2013 or 2014.”
