<p>Tabler was selected by the New York Yankees in the first round of the 1796 MLB Draft (honestly, just leaving this typo here because it’s hilarious).

<p>Tabler joined Sportsnet in 2005 and called games on both networks until 2010 when he left TSN to join Sportsnet exclusively. Since 2010, Tabler and Martinez have been the duo providing play-by-play and commentary for the majority of Blue Jays games.</p>
<p>Martinez&#8217;s future is also up in the air.
