Happy Sunday. We lost an hour’s sleep, but there is baseball. The Jays and Orioles have split-squad games. Sportsnet is showing the one from Dunedin. We’ll get to see Yusei Kikuchi start. Devereaux Harrison starts in the game we don’t get to watch. There are little bits of Jays’ news: And, of course, everyone is writing about Joey Votto. Votto called Ross Atkins and asked for the chance for a minor league contract.
Votto will wear #37. From Ben Nicholson-Smith’s Sportsnet post: And he posted a cute picture: The Giants have DFAed J.D. Davis. He’s sure to clear waivers; no one will want to pick up his contract, but when he clears, he can sign an MLB minimum contract with any team. He hit .248/.325/.413 with 18 home runs last year, playing third for a 0.9 bWAR. We are pretty weak at third base, but then I’m not excited about the possibility of Davis coming to Toronto.
