Today is the first day of spring training. Pitchers and catchers are in camp and they are working out. The Canadian based reporters are not there so we are still relying on zoom updates. And there were some updates today.
The Minors are now set for a decade. No worries about the Jays ending up in Vegas again.
A little something thread on a Friday afternoon...
(but really an excuse for me to write about Taijuan Walker)
Wow, new thread required.
Well, that was unexpected.
The Blue Jays have been cooking up a dish this past week that Gordon Ramsay might well approve of. Olive oil in! A dash of Yates, in! Springer in!
What? No, you've been watching too many YouTube cooking videos...
For me, he was the toughest out. For everybody else, I had a plan. With Henry, I just never figured out what I was going to do.

Henry Aaron was a guy who went to work.
The Top Prospect Lists are coming at last from assorted sites.
Not 100% official but with the amount of smoke I think we have someone taking the Jays money at last.
With the free agency debates going, how long a career can one expect from a player has come up. Lets dig into the history.
5 more years. He signed on through 2025.
OK, just AJ Cole, but hey things are quiet.
So, Kim goes to SD, as does Snell and Darvish - glad the Jays aren't in that division. All other NL West teams should look at doing a dump and run. So now what?
Well, kind of quiet but the Jays did sign a few guys recently. No one to make you jump up and down, but enough of an excuse to start a new topic.
As expected the Jays have
decided to go with AAA Buffalo, AA New Hampshire, A+ Vancouver, A Dunedin (lowest level of the minors now). Goodbye to Lansing (who should find another affiliation - probably Oakland it appears), Bluefield, and GCL Jays. The DSL team might survive though.
