In recent years, a great deal has been written of the Milwaukee Brewers and their struggles to find an everyday first baseman. Following the departure of Prince Fielder after the 2011 season, the Brewers had 11 different Opening Day first basemen in 11 years.
The Toronto Blue Jays were looking to build upon the lows of the 2019 season and turned to the ‘Mayor of Ding Dong City’ to get the job done. On December 30th, 2019, the Jays signed infielder Travis Shaw to a one-year deal worth $4 million.
Although Travis Shaw is fully on-board with mask-wearing and social distancing, he isn't a fan of changing what was originally reported to be a two-week "bubble" quarantine into an all-summer-long one.
