Jay Blue, from Blue Jays from Away, recently spoke with Toronto Blue Jays’ director of amateur scouting, Shane Farrell, about the club’s five 2020 draft picks.

The Toronto Blue Jays have announced their 60-man player pool for the 2020 season.

A deal is now in place between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association for a 60-game, 2020 season, but Jay Blue, of Blue Jays from Away, looks at some of the obstacles that will have to be overcome for the season to actually begin.

Jay Blue, from Blue Jays from Away, shares that the Toronto Blue Jays’ training facilities in Dunedin, Fla., have been shut down after a player exhibited COVID-19 symptoms.

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed three undrafted amateur free agents: second baseman Harrison Ray from Vanderbilt, outfielder MacKenzie Mueller of Baylor and utility player Zac Cook from the University of Texas-Arlington.

Jay Blue, of Blue Jays from Away, writes that when the 2020 season begins, things are going to look very different in the minor leagues. “Most people around the game are of the view that there will not be a minor league season as we know it in 2020,” he writes. “And when the major leagues start up again, likely to empty stadiums, the teams are expected to have an expanded reserve roster with up to 60 players on the combined active roster and reserve roster (or "taxi squad").” Blue then shares who he thinks will be on the the Blue Jays’ "taxi squad.”
