The Blue Jays didn’t do anything especially massive on Friday or Saturday, but there were just enough little things going on to distract me from finishing this week’s mail bag — which is still coming, and you can still submit a question for if you’ve got one (and, as always, are a paid subscriber) — and to compel me to round it all up for you in a post that, for some reason, I’m publishing on a Saturday night.
With so many shitty teams looking for ways to be cheap this year, I really hope one of them gives Fisher a shot. (Looking at you, Cleveland. Your outfield is a joke.) He did show glimpses of putting those tools together last season (.811 OPS...) before getting hit by a pitch and ending up on the IL. Yeah, small sample. And there’s no room for him with the way the club is poised. But there’s still a chance - diminishing as it is - that he shows us something. Rooting for him.

Wow, Kirk looks great. Good on him for putting in the work to transform his body. Oh man, I’m so excited for spring training!
Stoeten: Fisher, Yankee Stadium last September. The guy didn't even drop the fly balls.....he 100% missed them.
Man, Kirk is a solid dude. Like a brick with eyes. I really hope he can share catching duties this year.
