It's intra-squad Arash. Let's act like one of us has a degree in journalism or whatever, you gotta know this.

I wonder where Groshans is..haven't heard much of him and I know he's in Toronto based on his instagram stories he's posted.

According to Wilner on Twitter: SWR just entered the game and walked Travis Shaw. Also, the bullpen coach is playing in the outfield lol

The #BlueJays have added exhibition games to their Summer Camp plans. Two at Fenway Park (July 21, 22) ahead of the season opener.

Jesus Christ.

 

Arash Madani is like the Dennis Nedry of Sportsnet except he is entirely lacking in talent, intelligence and usefulness. Basically he's a worse Barry Davis.

Shi is speculating that virtually the entire outfield has been taken out by covid.

Clips of both homeruns:

 

[saskjayfan]

A homer, a double and a single for Rowdy...and Boxy said he's not a league average hitter...pffft.

So weird with no crowd!

Martin might get the Johnny Olerud treatment out of necessity!

I wonder if Martin being included was an unofficial part of his deal?

Here is what’s going to keep #BlueJays players in their stadium/hotel bubble this summer:

 

Per multiple sources, players have been told penalty if seen outside ballpark is $750,000 fine and potential jail time.

And already some questioning ughhh...

Didn’t see this posted anywhere.

When the bullpen coach has to play in the outfield, something has gone wrong. I think all the outfielders are stuck in quarantine @ Florida.

I really don't understand how the Jays travelling to Boston for a ST game makes sense? They could have all done ST in Florida and Arizona and taken a sanitized bus and been back in their secure living arrangements by evening. That goes for all teams during ST... Regular season, yes, ST... Not understanding the logic..

It's right at the end of ST before they head to TB and WAS. It would be much more questionable if they were heading back to Rogers Centre immediately after the two games. It probably would have been wise to have an off day between the Nats series though to accommodate any extra travel requirements.

I’m going to assume Travis Shaw won’t be a Blue Jay for much longer. He also keeps deleting his tweets lol. I don’t know if he did it because the team told him to or he didn’t like getting s*** on in the comments section.

[Bobthe4th]

And already some questioning ughhh...

 

 

The feed has Shaw effectively saying he’s not prepared to go into quarantine every time the team crosses the border. Stroman and Grichuk getting involved too.

Can’t they just meet their family in the states when they’re on the road? There’s no quarantine protocol down there. It’s not a issue with MLB, but with Canada Customs.

[RobinThicc]

They should let their families be with them in the hotel, if the families are willing to stay in a hotel for 2 months straight.

 

Im going to guess the Jays end up playing in Florida.

[Dick_Pole]

$750,000 fine lol

 

Though this could be worrisome if a lot of the team opts out. Good thing the most important players are young or Korean so they don't have kids/family waiting for them in the United States.

[Carlos Danger]

Bagged milk and quarantines... Going to be hard to get players to come to TO...

That is insane. Don't blame Shaw there.

Good thing the Twitter Karens are here to set the players straight.
