It would appear that former Blue Jays legend Tony Fernandez is showing signs of progress in his battle with a kidney ailment while his prognosis is much more positive than in past updates. Jesse Barfield tweeted out the update after speaking with Tony’s wife Clara earlier yesterday.

Barfield tweeted that the former shortstop’s vitals were improving while his heart gets stronger and they have managed drain his lungs of the fluid. Clara also affirmed that Fernandez is a fighter and asked Jesse to thank all the fans on her behalf.
