Kevin Pillar returning to Toronto with new role

Pillar was recently brought in as a full time co-host for the famous Foul Territory podcast back in August but has been appearing on TV as an analyst as well.

Pillar was part of the last Blue Jays team's to go deep in the playoffs back in the mid 2010's which is why his insight will certainly be great to hear for fans as the series goes on.
First pitch for game 1 of the ALDS takes place on Saturday afternoon at 4:08 PM at the Rogers Centre with coverage starting at 2:30 PM.
