Now I’m more than aware that this would be a long-shot, considering that he still has $20-million owed to Russell Martin next year. That’s why I’m saying he’s a dark horse, but bear with me as I make the case for the Blue Jays catcher to turn into the team’s next skipper.
He probably won’t be starting next year
With the emergence of Danny Jansen this year, it looks like Martin will be riding the bench and backing up, as well as mentoring the young pitch caller. He might not even be the second-string either with Reese McGuire also doing pretty well for himself.
