Alright! It’s some Friday afternoon baseball on the ol’ TV, and Aaron Sanchez looking to continue to make the case that he should be a member of the Jays’ rotation.
He’s already out there on the mound as I type, so let’s do this!
Scuttlebutt
Dalton Pompey has been sent down to minor league camp, which may seem a bit early, but was also entirely expected. Meanwhile, the Jays have lost yet another of their depth pieces, as Brad Penny announced today that he is retiring, a day after Rafael Soriano did the same (as I mentioned in this morning’s Daily Duce).
