Blue Jays Assess Roster Depth Amid WBC Absences

With the World Baseball Classic approaching, the Blue Jays are evaluating their roster depth while their starting infield and catcher are away.

Manager John Schneider expressed confidence in the team's starting pitching and outfield depth. However, he acknowledged that the infield feels 'a little bit thin' without the entire starting group at the WBC. A detailed position-by-position review highlights a significant organizational vulnerability at catcher. While Alejandro Kirk remains the anchor, the depth chart behind him is precarious; the team lacks a clear replacement for Kirk's production, leaving the position in a 'very high' vulnerability state should he go down.
