Cavan Biggio dons familiar Astros jersey, chases roster spot

For Cavan Biggio, spring training with the Houston Astros feels less like a fresh start and more like a return. Biggio, who joined the organization just over a week ago, has major league experience with the Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals. “This organization has always been very special to me, and it’s an absolute honor to don the uniform now,” Biggio said.

Better Know Your Blue Jays 40-man: Cody Ponce

Cody Ponce is a 6’6”, 31-year-old (32 on April 25th), right-handed pitcher. I wonder if we could get him to recreate the Jon Rauch explosion at umpire Alfonso Marquez where John Farrell tried to hold him back from punching the umpire. The Jays signed Ponce on December 2nd of last year to a three-year, $30 […]

Tommy Nancy is a 34-year-old (35 in March), right-handed reliever, from Long Beach, California. He was undrafted (is that a word?), and signed as an amateur free agent in 2016 by the Cubs, after playing in an independent league in 2015. He had a rather slow climb up the minors. When you are undrafted, you […]

Better Know Your Blue Jays 40-Man Roster: Jesús Sánchez

Jesús Sánchez is a 28-year-old, left-handed hitting, outfielder. The Jays traded Joey Loperfido to the Astros to pick him up. Loperfido will be 27 in May, so there isn’t that much difference in age.

Better Know Your Blue Jays 40-Man Roster: Tyler Rogers

Tyler Rogers is a right-handed, submarine style pitcher. He’s 35. The Jays signed him to a three-year, $37 million contract (with a vesting option for a fourth year at $11 million). Signing a 35-year-old reliever for three or four years, generally, would seem like a bad idea, but then Rogers isn’t your average reliever. We […]

Spring Game #2 GameThread: Jays At Red Sox

Game two of the spring schedule. I was up early and at the bar for the hockey, and that is all I’m saying about it. Though beer at 6:00 in the morning is surprisingly good. The Jays have Fernando Perez as the starting pitcher. He was good in Vancouver last year, 3.05 ERA in 20 […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. says World Series loss is behind him as Blue Jays open spring training

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the last person to leave the Toronto dugout after the Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series last fall because the star slugger wanted that to be the moment when he moved on. The first full workout for the Blue Jays at spring training Monday brought some clarity to that plan. “When I left, I felt like I had faced reality, and the only thing I had left to say to myself was just thank God for the year I had, for the year the team had had,” Guerrero said through an interpreter.
