The Blue Jays have a growing problem on their hands, but thankfully it’s the good kind.
The front office decided to trade Russell Martin to the L.A. Dodgers last offseason in order to open up the starting catching duties for Danny Jansen, who impressed during a shorter stint late last season. He’s done an admirable job throughout the year, looking more than capable as a defender, and having flashes of great offensive potential between a few prolonged slumps.
Even if his slash line of .206/.279/.358 leaves a lot to be desired, his rookie season should still be considered relatively successful, and his MLB future fairly bright.
