DUNEDIN, Fla. -- There is a man they call The Iowa Meat Truck. You can spot Peyton Williams from five fields away. He looks like everyone else’s bodyguard, a hulking, throwback first baseman who makes a baseball bat look like a pencil in his hands. “We’ve been high on P-Willy

March 9, 2025

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- While Alan Roden wanted to study the universe, it seems the universe has other plans. At this point, it seems the universe has not let him down. Roden, since being selected by Toronto in the third round of the 2022 MLB Draft, has done nothing but

There’s plenty of time for that to happen for the 23-year-old, but Martinez’s thundering bat could push the Blue Jays’ patience here. Each spring, we’re
