Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Old thread overloaded, time for a new one.
Lots of articles from sports reporters enjoying the sun in Florida while the rest of us prepare for a massive blizzard on Sunday.
February 18th is the big day when full squad workouts begin and Vlad's deadline hits. That is Tuesday, so not long left in that drama - then a pause on it until October or November if we are lucky and the Jays have a great season. Feb 22nd is the first spring game vs the Yankees in Dunedin.
Early storylines include Wagner learning 1B to backup Vlad, Gosuke Katoh is back in a minor league operations role (advance scouting), Schneider sees Clement, Wagner, Orelvis, and Vlad all getting 3B time - says something that he didn't mention Barger. Lots of stories like this at Sportsnet right now. Hey, those reporters gotta do something to earn that warm weather break.
At this point I'd be surprised if any trades or free agent signings happen unless someone else is in a desperate mood and the Jays say 'sure, we'll do that'. IE: a total steal of a deal.
