Blue Jay Hunter Podcast Episode 2: The Bautista Contract Fallout, Backup Catchers, Lefty Relievers

The Blue Jay Hunter podcast is back for a second week. This time, talking about the fallout from the Jose Bautista contract signing. Plus, finding a suitable backup catcher for the Blue Jays, and mulling over the lefty reliever options.

Since recording, the Blue Jays have signed Jarrod Saltalamacchia to a minor league deal with incentives if he makes the big league roster. And for some reason I mentioned that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was named the third best prospect in baseball? It’s actually only the third best third base prospect in baseball.

The latest episode is available below on Soundcloud.
