On this episode of Around The Nest, the Toronto Blue Jays minor league podcast, host Tyler Zickel checks in on double-A New Hampshire and low-A Dunedin coming out of the roster upheavals after the trade deadline and speaks with Altoona Curve broadcaster Jon Mozes about Charles McAdoo, the return for Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
Broadcaster Chris Jared is thankful we are into August because July saw the Fisher Cats record the worst record in team history. Eleven new players had been added to their roster since July 27, including starter Rafael Sánchez, who had a great start in double-A, and Johnathan Lavallee, who was immaculate on August 15.
New draftees, like catcher Aaron Parker (6th round pick), have injected energy into the Dunedin Blue Jays’ roster, according to D-Jays broadcaster Larry Larson. On the mound, Daniel Guerra demonstrated his ability to deal with adversity by retiring 13 of his last 14 batters faced after giving up an early grand slam, while Eliander Alcalde has been a key member of the bullpen. Last year’s first-round pick Arjun Nimmala had spent some time on the development list and down in Rookie league ball this season, but has come back to the Florida State League like a thunderstorm, hitting slugging 10 homers, 11 doubles, and 4 triples over 37 games.
