Around the Nest - Week 6, 2019: Nate and Riley move up the ladder

Welcome back to Around the Nest! Now that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is in the major leagues, the attention can now shift to other prospects within the organization!

We’ve got movement! The Blue Jays are promoting pitcher Nate Pearson and Riley Adams to Double-A New Hampshire, which is sure to start a domino effect throughout the system. Jim Tarabocchia will let New Hampshire know what they’re getting, plus more from the week that was in the Jays’ organization.

Around The Nest is a weekly podcast about the Blue Jays’ minor league system hosted by the Voice of the Lugnuts Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and featuring the voices of each of the Jays’ active minor league affiliates. It usually goes live every Friday afternoon at 4:00 pm during the season.

As always, we welcome your questions in the comments below. Here are a few questions from the Around The Nest team:

• Now that Nate Pearson begins to rise through the system, who are some other under-the-radar prospect you think should get promoted?
• How long until Cavan Biggio gets called up?
• What has been your favourite Blue Jays minor-league story thus far!
