Blue Jays Assess Roster Depth Ahead of WBC

As the World Baseball Classic begins, the Blue Jays are evaluating their roster depth amid the absence of their starting infield and catcher.

Manager John Schneider noted that while starting pitching and outfield depth appear strong, the infield feels "thin" without its primary contributors. He emphasized the team's reliance on returning veterans and minor-league support as the season progresses.

Specifically regarding the catcher position, Alejandro Kirk is viewed as a lock and an elite all-around player, creating a high vulnerability for the organization should he be unavailable.
