]]> Former Blue Jays play-by-play broadcaster and one of the best in the game, Dan Shulman, has joined TSN as a regular contributor providing “analysis and reports across all platforms” for the Canadian network. It’s interesting that this piece of news was the only mention of baseball on the entire TSN.ca homepage, as the Blue Jays, in their second day of spring training, weren’t even mentioned once.

Speaking of spring training, two games will be televised on Sportsnet, two more on Sportsnet One (hopefully everybody has access to the channel this year…), and four on bluejays.com. Eight more games can be heard on Sportsnet Radio Fan 590. It’s still not the ideal scenario of televising all spring training games, but it’s an improvement over last year at least.

In actual Blue Jays news, according to The Washington Times, the club has voided their contract with right-handed reliever Brian Stokes, who was signed to a minor league contract back in December. The only detail provided about the move was that it was “due to the results of his physical.”

Onto the links!

]]> As per an official team press release, the Blue Jays have signed outfielder Corey Patterson, catcher Ryan Budde, and pitchers Winston Abreu, Sean Henn, Mike Hinckley, and Brian Stokes all to Minor League contracts with invites to Spring Training.

Patterson is the only new name to be announced on this list, as the other five on this list had all been announced in some way before today.

Mat announced the signing of catcher Ryan Budde yesterday, and Winston Abreu on December 7th. I touched on Abreu’s Winter League progress back on December 8th, and took a look at the Mike Hinckley signing way back on November 20th.
