Aaron Korolnik

I think he'll be ready for Thursday.

And then we didn't see him again for three months.

Yeah.

Hopefully that's not the case with these pitchers, but clearly their depth will be tested.

And again, Scherzer, all of a sudden, is an extremely valuable member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

So is Cody Ponce, and those guys were kind of viewed as luxury items, but now they have become key cogs, along with Eric Lauer, in a rotation that, beyond those five, Dave...

Good luck naming who number six is because there's not an answer.

They knew when Scherzer signed, they told him, you savage, burritos, Bieber, not going to be ready to start later.

That's probably my guess.

That's exactly it, which is fine.

Again, I would play things close to the vest as well.

They have no obligation to tell us anything.

And I'd probably use that to my advantage as much as I could.

And who knows what other teams around Major League Baseball knew.

Maybe there's teams thinking, yeah, we can get Scherzer, but in reality, Toronto is probably the best place for him, coming back to a team that he was part of last season and now is going to be a big part of again this season.

Again, you probably don't want to rely on Max Scherzer to be going out there every five days at soon to be age 42.

Guys defeated father time to this point, but we know how this goes over the long run.

You've got to get to October first.

I hear a lot of people say that.

They say, yeah, you're savage, burritos.
