Reds take Canadian outfielder Gordon

TORONTO - It was possible to mistake the Team Canada junior national team for a hoops squad when the players walked on to the field.

There was 6-foot-8 Matt Ianni, 6-foot-6 Jackson Wark, 6-foot-5 Austin Shields, plus Michael Brettell, Cooper Lamb, Tristan Pompey, Darren Shred, Kristan Storrie, Nicholas Virdo, Niall Windeler, Mike Soroka and Demi Orimoloye, who all stand 6-foot-4.

“If I’m in the other dugout no way I want to fight with that team,” said former Blue Jays scouting director Tim Wilken, now an executive with the Chicago Cubs.

And then there was Miles Gordon.
