    Scott Mitchell @ScottyMitchTSN Santiago Espinal gained about 15 pounds over the winter and he’s looking to drive the ball more this year. The message to him has been be prepared to move around but his work will be middle infield spots now. “I’m ready, man. I’m ready to turn some double plays with Bo.”

    Scott Mitchell @ScottyMitchTSN Charlie Montoyo is obviously beaming about adding Matt Chapman. Says he and Manny Machado are the best 3B defenders he’s seen. I asked him about how this helps Bo Bichette with positioning and he noted it could help them move the left side around a bit differently. #BlueJays

    I started doing this because some people said they couldn't see embedded tweets on the device they were using. I don't know if anyone has that issue anymore but I decided to keep doing it this way in case they do. I also figured it would be good because the text would still be there even if the tweet got deleted or Twitter was down.

    Mark Feinsand @Feinsand One Yankee on the Blue Jays' acquisition of Matt Chapman: "They're not messing around. This division is going to be crazy."

    Hazel Mae @thehazelmae One last photo.. Kirby Snead is off to #Athletics as part of Chapman trade. “Mixed emotions..was comfortable w/#BlueJays. They’re all I’ve ever known. Made plenty of friends. Feel like I really progressed. But I have a couple college buddies over there, so I’m excited.” #Oakland

    Jayson Stark @jaysonst #Phillies deal with Kyle Schwarber, pending physical, is a 4-year agreement with an AAV just under $20 million per year, sources tell The Athletic. @JSalisburyNBCS was on this

    Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo Chris Sale has a stress fracture in his right rib cage. Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo Sale will not be ready for Opening Day. Bloom thinks it happened during an FGCU workout. “He’s not throwing,” Bloom said. It’ll be weeks before he gets a baseball back in his hand.

    Ethan Diamandas @EthanDiamandas A lot is made of Chapman’s defence (rightfully so), but he rips the ball incredibly hard. From 2018-2020 - At least top 4% in average exit velo - at least top 5% in max exit velo - hard-hit % at 47.8, 49, 51.7, respectively 2021 wasn’t as elite, but the pop is there. #BlueJays

    Chris Black @DownToBlack Just to put in perspective how good Chapman can be.... He had a 7.6 WAR season in 2018 & 7.7 in '19... Highest Single-Season WAR Blue Jays Third Basemen Josh Donaldson (2016) 7.2 Josh Donaldson (2015) 7.1 Kelly Gruber (1988) 5.2 Kelly Gruber (1989) 5.0

    Ethan Diamandas @EthanDiamandas Matt Chapman has a .931 OPS with 9 extra-base hits in 14 career games at Rogers Centre. #BlueJays

    Nick Ashbourne @NickAshbourne One interesting part of the Matt Chapman addition is that Chapman's biggest offensive failing is his K's and the Blue Jays have helped multiple hitters knock their K rates down in recent years (Teoscar, Gurriel Jr. and Grichuk come to mind).
  15. jerb
    Chris Black @DownToBlack Thought this was interesting: Blue Jays pitching induced more groundballs to third base than any other team last year (420). On a player-level, Ryu induced an MLB-high 73 & Kikuchi 10th most (55). This trade is a wonderful fit.

    Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi The Blue Jays and Athletics are close to a deal for third baseman Matt Chapman, multiple industry sources tell me and @thehazelmae. Pieces are still being finalized but expectation is deal will be completed. Major upgrade at hot corner for Jays. Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi Also hearing pessimism about Blue Jays chances of landing Kyle Schwarber. Sounds like he might be headed elsewhere.

    Rob Longley @longleysunsport Just spoke with Jose Berrios, who tells me he will get the start for Friday’s Grapefruit League opener against Baltimore. Berrios said he hopes to get two or three innings in. Feels strong after 26 pitch live BP session yesterday. #Bluejays.

    Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich Judge rules minor league players are MLB employees throughout year and are owed damages, including $1,882,650 in California

    Maury Brown @BizballMaury Something new happening in MLB social media: The Braves are directly releasing contract details and beating out the insiders. Not sure if this is due to being owned by Liberty Media or not, but it’s something we rarely — if ever — see. Maury Brown @BizballMaury So in a few minutes, hearing these clubs now releasing contract details direct: Braves W Sox Giants Blue Jays Can’t imagine this is the end.

    Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Blue Jays currently view their chances on Schwarber as better than their chances on Freeman, sources tell @TheAthletic. The competition for Schwarber, though, remains intense, with Phillies and others in the mix.
