VIDEO SIGN OUT
Hitters started taking live batting practice Tuesday as they try to build up at-bats in the shortened timeframe. Montoyo said there's a heightened emphasis on individual work as the team determines who will make the 30-man cut for Opening Day. The Blue Jays have yet to comment on reports that multiple players and team staffers recently tested positive for COVID-19.
"There's going to be two types of teams," he said."There's going to be the team that's going to work together, follow the guidelines, stay healthy, and that's going to help you win more games. And then there's going to be the teams that are not going to follow the guidelines, complain about everything, lose focus and not have a good year.
As Major League Baseball's lone Canadian team, the Blue Jays face an additional hurdle because of border and quarantine rules during the pandemic. During training camp, players and team staff are isolating from the general public in a closed environment at the stadium and hotel attached to the venue.
