3 months ago

The Blue Jays made a bit of noise in the last couple of weeks, signing 26-year-old right-hander Yariel Rodríguez, as well as picking up catcher Brian Serven off waivers from the Cubs. Matt & Steve also mention the two Blue Jays players on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list, controversy surrounding age falsification of players from the Dominican Republic, and discuss this year's Hall of Fame ballot results.

Plus, Matt interviewed Phil Selig (https://www.cubadugout.com/) to find out what to expect from Rodríguez with the Blue Jays.
