Teams Contacting Blue Jays On Russell Martin

The Blue Jays have been drawing interest in their catching, including on Russell Martin, who’s due $20 million in 2019. A veteran rival executive believes Martin’s contract is movable because “he can still play and help somebody. The question is whether the Blue Jays will take back enough of the money.” After noting how much the Blue Jays like and appreciate the 36-year-old, Atkins added, “we would consider some opportunity if there was one to move him for talent that made sense for the organization.” The key term there is “for talent.” If the Blue Jays are going to eat a substantial amount of money, they want some level of prospect in return.

Relievers Who Would Make A Difference

There has been nothing more troubling for the Cardinals this season than their lack of reliable arms beyond the starting pitching. Jordan Hicks has been a revelation, going from High A to closing games out in the majors in such short time. Then there’s Bud Norris, a pitcher who many fans disapproved of signing has managed to put a 2.97 ERA. That was of course until he managed to blow a save and cost Ponce De Leon of a win in his major league debut. I don’t have too much of an issue with Norris at this moment. Closers are allowed a hiccup or two in their performance. The issue is, if not Hicks or Norris, then who?

Giving Pause To Jordan Hicks

As spring training wound down, the Cardinals’ Opening Day roster was seemingly set. Set, that was, until John Brebbia was optioned to Memphis in lieu of Jordan Hicks in a surprise last-minute decision. Just weeks after he was essentially demoted to STEP camp, Hicks shot his way up the depth chart and onto the big league roster, due in large part to a March 25th start against the Nationals in which he twirled four one-hit innings.
