I wrote about Murakami's potential fit with the Jays, is the young slugger an option for the contact-heavy Jays Lineup?
The Jays have been in bidding wars with prolific Japanese baseball players for the past two years —why not make it a third? #bluejays #toronto #lightsupletsgo
Is Japanese Superstar Munetaka Murakami A Potential Fit With The Blue Jays?

I wrote about how Alejandro Kirk was absolutely snubbed for the Gold Glove, and why the Gold Glove system is flawed.
Rawlings announced their Gold Glove winners on Sunday, with a glaring mistake when it came to the AL catcher. This is why Alejandro Kirk should have run away with the award. #bluejays #toronto #lightsupletsgo

I wrote a bit about how Bo's role as a leadoff hitter may be miscast, and about some potential other options.
Bo Bichette has hit well in the leadoff spot for the Blue Jays, but there could be some better alternatives that the Jays should consider. #bluejays #toronto #lightsupletsgo

Really not a big deal at all, but Fangraphs does not know what to do with the Blue Jays' second DSL team.
The players on DSL-Red aren't showing up under the Blue Jays organization.
Not complaining at all, I can see why this would be on the bottom of their workflow, just makes it harder to search.
