Back in November, the Blue Jays signed themselves a big ticket free agent - catcher Russell Martin.
It wasn't his bat they were investing in, as Gregor Chisholm wrote at the time:
The strength of Toronto's future clearly lies within its rotation. Marcus Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Daniel Norris and Drew Hutchison, along with promising prospects such as Jeff Hoffman are expected to be the strength of this organization for many years to come, and in order to maximize that talent, an elite receiver such as Martin was required. Martin is generally regarded as one of the best game-callers and pitch-framers in baseball.
