Michael Choice. There’s a name I hadn’t heard in a while. Guess he’s washed up now.

Yes! Jays made a deal for a catcher! Who suggested that they should try and do that? Maile is not the long term answer so I guess they are trying another option. Good on the Jays. This guy has no power, but can hit doubles and he has hit in AAA for average. I have no knowledge on his defensive or game calling/framing abilities but he is a bonifide older prospect and was probably not going to get a decent shot at playing in MLB for Texas with the 3 catchers that they already have and they likely didin’t have to give up much. Go Jays Go. Let the rebuild begin.

This is some serious excitement for nothing more than a depth move. He’s likely still behind Ohlman on the depth chart, and maybe behind Monsalve.

It seems to me that the Jays executive are filling up the organization with prospects…not only at the lower levels. This is a good thing. Guys like Maile are going nowhere, and I suggest aht at the trading deadline if they acan get a deal for Martin, the Jays will move him. Believe it.

I wonder if he’s a distant cousin of the guitarist for Alice in Chains but one of his ancestors had rhotacism

I think you’re thinking of Jerry Cantrell…

I think it’s safe to say that Cantwell is a warm body in the minors…they were down a body when Maile came up. I’d be more in the camp that was what this move was about vs replacing Maile as a long term solution…but hey, ya never know.

Cantwell’s older than Maile and has even less success at the highest levels of the minors, so he’s probably less of a “prospect” than Maile is

Is this ^ guy for real?

Yeah, imagine the response had it been the Blue Jays who called up Tuffy Gosewich today!!

“…but will need to await another opportunity at Triple-A or strike out on the open market.”
Perhaps a Freudian Slip, but then I don’t know his strikeout rate, open market or anywhere.

Im thinking Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen could be the future for the jays behind the plate.
