Spring GameThread: Red Sox @ Blue Jays

I’m running out this morning, so I’m posting this early.

The Red Sox are coming to Dunedin for a 1:00 Eastern game.

There are a number of regulars (or at least guys likely to make the roster) in the lineup today. And Cody Ponce is starting, so there are reasons to watch.

Max Scherzer has made it to camp. The team is likely to announce his signing tomorrow. They say he could make his first spring game on Saturday, which surprises me.

And tomorrow, WBC exhibition games start. Team Canada will play the Blue Jays tomorrow at 1:00 Easter. Canada plays their (real) first game on Saturday against Columbia. It will be an 11:00 am Eastern time. The US plays their first game Friday.

And Ben Cowles was taking by the Cubs off waivers. I didn’t hear that he had been DFAed, but they needed 40-man space for Max Scherzer. I had figured that Anthony Santander would be placed on the 60-IL.
