Covering Jays prospects for the Toronto Star.

Long before it became the centre of the hockey universe, Toronto was a baseball town.
Learn about a championship team of 100 years ago and a new stadium in my latest book from August Publishing.

@AndrewStoeten The power dip at High A was a little concerning, but he still continued to have quality ABs and put hard-hit balls in play.

4.5 yr sentence minus time served for a man who ran a stop sign at 173 km/hr, killing a mom and two dogs.

He had 11 prior speeding convictions.

@TylerTylerson33 I think his bat will dictate where he plays.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Results in Arizona vary, and he needs time at AAA, but Parker is giving catcher of the future vibes.

[MLB Pipeline @MLBPipeline]

Aaron Parker was added to the Fall League Home Run Derby field on Friday night ... he ended up winning the entire thing.

@george_luc87174 Jays also like guys who can play multiple positions, and more importantly - hit.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@MarkBehar He’s been mostly a DH/LF in Arizona, which suggests Jays are trying to find room for that bat. His kind of exit velos don’t grow on trees.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@KarenSoutar1 The bat will play.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@MarkBehar A fit Alejandro Kirk vibes.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@Every5thDay New building is great. I can see why the conference is there every year.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Hanging out here today.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@BlueJaysExpress Neither do any of the other cities in the running.
Only Salt Lake City - the consensus front runner - has the funding and site in place.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

After diving into the two potential Montreal bids and talking to multiple people in the industry, I would say it’s still a longshot, but by no means are they out of the running. MLB has taken notice.

[Rob Silver @RobSilver]

The Expos weren’t coming back before this but this would be the definitive end of it even being a fantasy you talk about with your buddies over beers

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@RobSilver You can’t compare the MLS to MLB, especially where Montreal is concerned, both past and present.

“The unions climbed over the obstacles we deliberately placed in front of them, this delaying the process.”

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

A spokesperson for Edu Minister Paul Calandra:

“The majority of the unions have gone to the Ontario Labour Relations Board to determine which issues should be negotiated at the central or local tables. We respect their right to do so, but this process has delayed the continuation of bargaining. Once the OLRB process has concluded, we will be ready and willing to negotiate whenever the unions are ready to begin.

Premature strike threats do not serve the interests of students and do nothing but create unnecessary panic for parents. Our focus is where it should be - getting to the table and reaching a deal that keeps students in the classroom.”

@KeeganMatheson @OffTheRosterPod It’s always panic time for the Leafs, Keegan.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@AndrewStoeten Smoke ‘em inside.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@NRoss98711 @JoeyVotto We should all have a pony and unlimited ice cream, too.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Looking forward to my presentation about Harry Decker, surely one of the biggest rogues of his time, at the Canadian Baseball History Conference this weekend.
