DUNEDIN, Fla. From the opposing dugout last year, Matt Chapman saw something special in the Blue Jays.
I noticed that they had a lot of fun together. It seemed like all of them really pulled for each other, said Chapman, now standing outside the Blue Jays clubhouse at TD Ballpark as a member of the team. You see guys that are really talented and have a lot of individual success.
At the same time, rooting just as hard for their teammates and theyre watching their at-bats, theyre paying attention, theyre excited for their teammates. I picked up on that, I picked up on their energy.
From the West Coast, Yusei Kikuchi, while suiting up for the Seattle Mariners, noticed the Blue Jays unique celebrations. The thing that they had with the suit after the home runs, that looked like a lot of fun, he said through his translator Kevin Ando after finishing a spring training start.
Even after just being around the team for a few weeks, Kevin Gausman picked up on how the Blue Jays carried themselves. Theyre all pretty close and nobody takes themselves too seriously, he said while at his locker in the Blue Jays spring training complex. It makes for a fun environment.
Across the industry, fun is the word often used to describe these Blue Jays. Its understandable why.
