Well, presumably the Bisons will be playing their summer in Buffalo.

Vlad talked about a lot of things but for me he commented that he and Teoscar worked out together in the DR, Bo motivated him over the phone and chatted with Biggio and Lourdes.

Best core in baseball. These guys push each other.

World series this year or next.

I'll be laughing if that AAAA tweener ends up being their most productive hitter-again. Cool name too.

I will definitely be crying if that ends up being the case.

Here's an exciting outlook for the 2021 Blue Jays from Forbes.com...

I'm so excited for some of the young guys. Miguel Hiraldo in particular. He obviously isn't going to be with the team, but should be fun to see what he can do a camp and then see where he ends up to start the year.

Vladdy might regret the weight for a minute after taking that pitch to kidney/back

Is it just me, or is Rowdy looking slimmer too?

Rowdy 2-2. It's gonna be hard with this lineup, but I hope he's somehow able to get everyday ABs

Rowdy is going to breakout this year. I’m banking on it

I don’t want to sound hyperbolic, but Rowdy reminds me a little of David Ortiz. I’m not saying Rowdy will post multiple 1.000-OPS seasons, but he’s built very similarly and has a similar type of game. And with continued maturation while hitting in that lineup, he could be a real force—maybe one step below Ortiz’s peak.

And he could start the season batting eighth...

Blue Jays are going to be one of the most entertaining teams to watch this year especially the offense. Maybe they'll be an over bet juggernaut again like 5-6 years ago when they had Smoak, Joey Bats, Donaldson, etc.

1-0-1 and playing the Phillies today.

Rowdy is looking good as he’s 3 for 4.

Springer got a hit in his first AB leading off.

In the 4th inning. Jays willing 1-0. LGJ with a solo HR.

Jays won today, 4-2

Tomorrow Simeon Woods Richardson starts the game and Alek Manoah pitching as well. Excited for these two guys!
