Description

Blake Murphy is joined by MLB.com's Keegan Matheson who shares what surprised him when learning about Gabriel Moreno's story growing up, and details Moreno's natural athleticism, how the Jays' front office views him, and why this was the right time to call him up to the Majors (08:22). Defector's Maitreyi Anantharaman discusses her fandom for Detroit sports including the Tigers, the ballclub's offensive woes and losing record, and the reasons for optimism for the team's future (26:30). Baseball Prospectus's Jeffrey Paternostro stops by to chat about Moreno's progression both with his bat and defensively, the difficulty of projecting catching prospects, where prospect Jordan Groshans would fit with the main team and his timeline to get called up (51:20). To wrap up the show, Blake previews the weekend series against the Tigers, Moreno pairing up with Kevin Gausman, and shares the scouting report for Detroit's starting pitcher Elvin Rodriguez (01:16:00).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
