Jesus Sanchez just expressed genuine joy about his trade to Toronto and this upbeat attitude completely revitalizes our clubhouse.
Hearing a player actually want to come here during a massive transitional phase feels incredibly refreshing.
Sanchez (Age 28, Signed as international free agent, 2014 by Tampa Bay) brings a dangerous left-handed bat to the lineup.
We desperately needed some raw power from the outfield corners to protect our established core hitters.
The Dominican slugger wasted absolutely no time winning over the fanbase with his latest media appearance down in Dunedin.
Listen to this fantastic clip where our newest outfielder explains exactly why he is so thrilled to join this competitive roster.
The Astros signed Cavan Biggio to a minor-league deal per the team.
Knowing he already respected the relentless effort of our guys from his days with the Miami Marlins proves his high baseball IQ.
He watched our competitive culture from afar and specifically desired to be a part of this organization.
A fresh start ignites massive potential
Seeing a talented player genuinely excited to wear the Blue Jays uniform instantly restores my faith in this front office.
Last season split between Miami and Houston, he posted a .237 AVG with 14 home runs and a .699 OPS.
Those numbers might not scream superstar just yet, but his elite exit velocity tells a much more promising story.
He consistently hits the baseball over 110 mph when he makes solid contact against elite major league pitching.
He possesses the rare ability to hit absolute moonshots that can change a tight ballgame with one single swing.
Playing half his games inside the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre should naturally boost his overall offensive production this summer.
Our hitting coaches have a proven track record of helping aggressive batters refine their approach in spring training.
If they can help him harness that raw physical strength, we just acquired a massive steal for Joey Loperfido.
The Toronto media can be extremely demanding, so arriving with such a massive smile sets a beautiful tone for his transition.
We all know the grueling marathon of the American League East demands exceptional depth and unwavering resilience.
Having guys who genuinely love the sport and want to fight for this city is exactly how you build a winning culture.
