Blue Jays begin early training camp in Florida
Feelings of optimism, joy and excitement were ever-present Monday at the Toronto Blue Jays’ player development complex as a couple dozen players kicked off spring training ahead of the 2023 season.
The sting from last fall’s wild-card sweep long since faded, the Blue Jays worked out under blue skies and bright sun with a clean slate for 2023. The camp seemed devoid of any of the pre-season challenges – injury woes, trade requests, positional concerns and the like – that can sometimes hang over the spring training period.
“Building off of the last month of the season last year and carrying it over into this year and seeing how they come together as a team I think is important this time of year too.” The Blue Jays avoided arbitration with Bichette last week when the two sides agreed to terms on a three-year contract. The US$33.6-million deal covered his remaining arbitration years and prevented a hearing.
