Former Blue Jays Tim Mayza speaks on what went wrong in Toronto

«I was very self-aware that the season was not going as planned and if you don't pitch well, there's always somebody behind you that's trying to take your spot,» Mayza says. «So you constantly have to improve your game or there's a chance that you get released. That was just the reality of the situation.»

«You look at the season as a whole and the roller-coaster that it's been, realistically, it's brought me to the lowest of lows in my baseball time, but also now we're here and it's the highest of highs,» he says. «So I have felt all emotions and everything in between, and I'm just excited to be a part of the journey with the Yankees, helping any way possible. It led to the World Series. Just a crazy season. I'm fortunate that I was able to land on my feet and be here. It's been awesome.»
