In case you missed the news yesterday, the White Sox have postponed today\u2019s game<\/a>, their home opener. It\u2019s going to be decently warm in Chicago today, 19 degrees, but there are apparently high winds and the risk that a rainstorm is going to blow through around game time. Here in Calgary it\u2019s blizzarding sideways, but, sure, I\u2019m sure some warm rain is uncomfortable too.<\/p>\n

Not much for news today. The Jays have officially sent Angel Bastardo back<\/a> to the Red Sox. That was always the most likely outcome when he didn\u2019t make the team, although there was a chance someone could trade for him. His rough spring probably foreclosed that opportunity, so now he\u2019s back in Boston\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

Bonus pools for the 2026 draft were announced<\/a>. The Jays have the second smallest pool, ahead of only the Dodgers. Their first selection gets knocked back 10 places for trying too hard to win exceeding the second luxury tax threshold. That means they don\u2019t go until 39th overall. eight teams will pick twice before they get to go, and the Rockies will be on the clock three times. They got a compensation pick after the fourth round for the Mets signing Bo Bichette after he rejected the Jays\u2019 Qualifying Offer, but lose that pick and their second rounder for signing Dylan Cease after he rejected the Padres\u2019 QO. After their \u2018first rounder\u2019, then, they pick in the third (103rd overall), 4th (131st), 5th (164th), 6th (193rd), 7th (222nd), and every 30 picks thereafter. So they\u2019re going to have a hard time infusing any premium talent into the system this winter, although there\u2019s plenty of gold to be panned in the later picks.<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s opening day for all the leagues below AAA (which opened the same day the Majors did). Only the A ball Dunedin Blue Jays actually play today, though, at 4:30pm ET. They haven\u2019t announced a starter yet, but top prospects Jojo Parker and Blaine Bullard should be in the lineup. They\u2019ll face sixth overall pick Seth Hernandez, so it\u2019ll be a good test from the jump. The AA New Hampshire Fisher Cats and A+ Vancouver Canadians open their seasons tomorrow night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In case you missed the news yesterday, the White Sox have postponed today\u2019s game, their home opener.
