In a little over a month, pitchers and catchers will start reporting to Spring Training, and the Blue Jays will finally get to see Hyun-Jin Ryu take the field in a new uniform.
There’s little doubt that Ryu will make a difference for the Blue Jays in 2020 and beyond, but it sounds like he could have some added bonuses. In fact, there are reports that the new Toronto ace will be bringing some medical expertise along with him, and that’s probably not a bad thing.
According to a tweet from our own Jason Lee, reports from Korean media have suggested that the Blue Jays will hire Kim Byung-Gon to join the training staff.
