BOSTON — There’s a different dynamic from the status quo inside the Blue Jays’ clubhouse these days.
Actually, probably in every major-league clubhouse.
Players who hail from the Caribbean area — the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, etc. — are all worried about their families back home as the monstrous Category 5 Hurricane Irma bears down on parts of the region.
And nobody is more concerned than Jays relief pitcher Luis Santos. The right-hander’s entire family is back in the Dominican Republic and though Irma is expected to pass slightly to the north of Hispaniola, the island that is shared by both the Dominican Republic and Haiti, nobody knows for certain which way its 185-mph winds will veer.
