2 out of 3 would be not bad...please?
Trevor Richards has joined the team (Trent Thornton has been optioned down), and seems to be excited to be there:
He's just started meeting new teammates and coaches, yet to talk about role. But he's enjoyed transition from rotation to bullpen. "It's just really allowed me to pitch a little differently. I don't have to worry about going deep into games. I just go after hitters and attack."

We also have a minor injury update:
Charlie Montoyo says that Julian Merryweather had “a little setback” in his rehab.

He’s now just playing catch, not throwing off a mound.
“He’s still got a ways to go.” #BlueJays
There’s a couple fun videos for you too:

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. You can Adopt-a-Jay here, and here’s a helpful tutorial on how to post images in the comments.
