Reese McGuire outshines Danny Jansen and takes over the starting role
The Blue Jays are blessed with two young major league ready catchers that took similar but different routes to the major leagues. Danny Jansen was a 16th round pick by the Blue Jays who struggled in the minors at first, but once the franchise found a vision issue, Jansen took off. Reese McGuire was a first round pick that the Jays acquired in a trade in 2016, that originally struggled, at times looked as if he wasn’t going to pan out and then succeeded when given an MLB opportunity.
