wondering why are the Jays one of the last teams to report to spring training? I understand many are already down there and doing their own thing, but I have always wondered

I'm not really sure. Quite a few other teams with the same report date though. Maybe some teams traditionally have more games lost to bad weather during the spring or something (pure guess).

Because they already won the World Series last off season and they don't need to prepare, they've got this.

Is anyone else trying to make that sign with there hands?????? No me either:rolleyes:

It doesn't matter. Most of the players arrive early and a month and a half of organized workouts is long enough.

 

Plus, the vast majority of teams are within four days of each other. There's really nothing here.
