The Jays make the short drive to Clearwater to play the Phillies.

We get out first look Max Scherzer this spring. He says he’ll be ready for opening day. I didn’t expect that he would be in the rotation to start the season. I think the odds of him being able to give us 30 starts at age 41 are slim. He has said the hand issue has resolved itself.
