The off-season is still very young, but it sounds like the Blue Jays’ front office has been pretty busy so far. In fact, according to ESPN’s Marly Rivera, they were even among the teams that met with free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal.
The news is a bit surprising for a few reasons. First, the Blue Jays already have Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire in the fold behind the plate, and they also have Luke Maile available as a back-up. There has been reported interested in the Blue Jays’ young duo of catchers in particular, but the thinking is that they could trade one of them and keep the other as the starter, with Maile serving as support.
