Intro (0:00)

Benjamin Hill joins Tyler and Sam to break down the 2021 Minor League schedule that was officially released on Thursday. Ben also discusses his recent stories on the longest-running affiliations and the oldest stadiums across the Minors.

Jordan Groshans interview (23:17)

MLB.com's No. 46 overall prospect calls into the podcast from Florida to share his expectations for his time in Spring Training, his hopes for cracking an increasingly loaded Blue Jays roster and his progress since he was last on a Minor League field in May 2019.

News of the week (44:09)

Tyler and Sam return for a segment they're not calling Three Strikes (even though it involves three topics) to talk about potential Minor League pitcher-catcher pairings, the most interesting non-roster invitees in Spring Training camps and the Blue Jays' preparation to play in Dunedin to start the 2021 Major League season.
