He spent **exactly one season in a Blue Jays uniform and made it a good one: 14-7 with a 3.82 ERA over 150.2 innings**, with those 14 wins tied for second-most in the American League. This is his card in 2022 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition, the online-exclusive premium product built on the sapphire-blue chromium stock that gives the set its name. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- ========== 5.

Near Mint or better unless noted. Please review the front and back scans — they show the exact card you will receive, including centering, corners, edges and surface. This is one of the better-conditioned cards to come through this batch. Centering measured off the silver double-rule frame is **essentially perfect left-to-right at 49\/51**. Top-to-bottom is not measurable and I am not going to estimate it — the bottom of the design is a full-bleed nameplate rather than a closed frame rule, so there is no symmetric reference. Corners are sharp with no chrome chipping. Edges are dark and clean apart from **one very small nick near the top-left**. The surface is clean under high-pass inspection: no scratches, no print lines, no orange peel, no gloss disturbance.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr style=\"background:#faf6ec;\"\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding:11px 16px;font-weight:bold;\"\u003eSport\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding:11px 16px;\"\u003eBaseball\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c!-- Add rows as needed (Parallel, Cert #, Print Run, etc.).

Look for the geometric starburst pattern in the top and bottom bleed areas and the holographic shimmer across the Blue Jays logo; that texture is the product itself. This is the **base Sapphire, unnumbered** — and the way to confirm that is simple: every coloured Sapphire parallel in this product (Aqua, Purple, Padparadscha, Orange, Fuchsia, Green, Red, Gold) is **serial numbered on the front**, and this card carries no serial. All four edges of both sides were checked at magnification. Back code CMP054116.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- ========== 7.
