For the past two years, the Blue Jays have been celebrating long balls by donning the famous home run jacket. It’s a unique celebration that’s been talked about across MLB.
But in 2023, the club could move on.
According to manager John Schneider, the club have not made a decision yet, but there could be a change in this level in 2023.
It will be the decision of the players.
In fact, we feel that the club is not going to ban them from wearing circuit jackets, but we also feel that the team wants to move to the next level.
And since the jacket is considered extravagant in a still very conservative sport, perhaps the trend will be to celebrate differently.
The circuits are good and they must be celebrated.
But we want to celebrate more than the circuits.
–John Schneider
The manager of the club has already spoken about it: the club wants to emphasize the “small details” of the game. The Jays do not want to be a club that hits the long ball.
This is particularly an aspect worked by the manager at his first training camp since he took the place of Charlie Montoyo.
What you have to understand is that Schneider is not the only one who thinks this way: it is a reflection of what the organization is trying to achieve.
During the winter, Teoscar Hernandez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. left in favor of guys who are better defensively and less focused on the long ball.
We can also think that they left to see if it will bring more seriousness around Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the continuation of the things.
The addition of veterans like Kevin Kiermaier and Brandon Belt, to name a few, should change the dynamics of the club a bit. As long as it doesn’t completely cut off the fun the club has…
- Daniel Vogelbach has lost considerable weight.
- Corbin Carroll to Arizona to stay there?
