Welcome to Spin Rate, your new Blue Jays podcast

Welcome to The Athletic's Toronto Blue Jays podcast, Spin Rate,
with Drew Fairservice and The Atheltic's Blue Jays scribe, Kaitlyn
McGrath. First off, we're glad you're tuning in, secondly, before
getting into the juicy stuff, Drew and Kaitlyn update us on what
they've been doing since the end of the season, and address the
direction of the show. OK, now for the saucy stuff. Geroge
Springer, what does he bring to Toronto? How promising is the
outfield, plus, the front office is demonstrating a willingness to
spend money, so what's next? The two also converse about Marcus
Semien's 2020 and his fit in the infield. Is 2B prime real estate
for Semien, or is there enough concern for Bo Bichette at SS that
it could force Semien into the gap? What about 3B? Kaitlyn reveals,
arguably, her favorite signing of the offseason before the duo
discusses Toronto's rotation. Kaitlyn humble brags about how smart
she is which sets the table for her rotation grades. (Is a 'B'
really that generous?) Let's talk about Robbie Ray and Jake
Odorizzi. Lastly, where will the club play this seas...oh, well,
we're finding out mid-recording that it's in Dunedin to kick off
the season. Nice! We look forward to you joining us on Spin Rate,
and can't wait for this season to begin! Rundown: (:30) Welcome to
