"Ahead of the 2018 trade deadline, the Phillies sent Waguespack to the Blue Jays in exchange for Aaron Loup, with Waguespack earning a look with the Jays the following season. Over 16 outings in the big leagues in 2019, Waguespack made 13 starts and posted a 4.38 ERA and 4.91 FIP in 78 innings pitched. Unfortunately, the right-handed pitcher struggled the following season in his 11 appearances, being DFA'ed. That was his last action in the big leagues with the Jays."
"Waguespack remained in the Jays organization for the 2021 season, authoring a 2.86 ERA and 2.87 FIP in 69.1 innings pitched with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. Following the end of the 2021 season, Waguespack headed overseas to play with Japan's Orix Buffaloes, posting a sub 3 ERA in his first season, before it jumped to 5.77 in 2023. Still, his performance was good enough to earn him a minor league deal with the Tampa Bay Rays before the start of the 2024 season."
Jacob Waguespack signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. He was originally drafted in the 37th round in 2012 by the Pittsburgh Pirates but chose college and later signed as an undrafted free agent with the Philadelphia Phillies after three seasons at Mississippi. The 6'6" right-handed pitcher was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for Aaron Loup and reached the majors in 2019, posting a 4.38 ERA in 78 innings. He struggled in 2020 and was DFA'ed, then produced strong Triple-A numbers in 2021 before pitching in Japan for the Orix Buffaloes in 2022–2023. He signed with the Rays for 2024, returned briefly to MLB, spent 2025 in the minors, and then returned to the Phillies organization.
