Baseball things are happening! None of them are happening in Toronto, obviously, but that would be true at this point in any other year as well. We’re up here biding our time between snowstorms, and the Blue Jays are down in Dunedin, starting to get the work in to ready themselves for the upcoming season. (Or, well, technically continuing the work they’d been doing all winter already, because being a pro ballplayer in 2021 is very much a 365 day a year job.)
I would have picked Sanchez for a minor-league deal, and getting $11MM in a one-year deal for Trevor Rosenthal is excellent. Looks like Scott Boras is a lot better at playing musical chairs than Taijuan Williams' and Jake Odorizzi's agents, who seem to be still waiting for multi-year contract offers.
Enjoyed the Sanchez bit Stoeten.
I was wondering why we didn't show interest in Sanchez either, but I have a feeling there might be mutual bad feeling there...could be wrong.

Good news re Drew and Kaitlyn podcast.
The Sanchez piece at the bottom is an excellent separate full column all in itself.
