Blue Jay Hunter Podcast Episode 9: Blue Jays Tangle in the WBC

The World Baseball Classic is in full swing and the Blue Jays have fragmented off onto their own respective rosters. Thus far, its been fun watching Blue Jays players in a different format and representing their country.

In this week’s BJH Podcast, I delve into the Blue Jays and the WBC. In the case of Jose Bautista vs. Marcus Stroman, it was a match-up we would never see in regular play. Plus, talking about Josh Donaldson and Devon Travis being on the mend.

Also, the issues of Justin Smoak and Dalton Pompey come up – as they seem to on a weekly basis – in addition to the answers to your listener questions. This episode is 27 minutes and 24 seconds long.
