We won’t be able to watch both of our top Large Adult Sons this fall as Bo Bichette has been removed from the Arizona Fall League roster. Going in his place will be Santiago Espinal, the infielder acquired from Boston in the Steve Pearce deal.

There isn’t any word yet as to why Bichette was removed from the AFL roster. One would assume, though, given that he played an entire season in Double-A and helped the Fisher Cats to the Eastern League Championship, that this is related to fatigue rather than an injury. Bichette played 131 regular season games and six more playoff games this year, which is quite a bit more than the 110 games he played in 2017.

The Arizona Fall League will still be interesting to follow as the Blue Jays are sending top prospects Vlad Jr, Cavan Biggio, and Nate Pearson to the desert for some extended action.
