But they’ve got a full-jacket DH now in Brandon Belt, plucked off the free-agency shelf over the winter specifically for the purpose. “It’s something I’m OK with,” Belt was saying the other morning of his DH classification as a Blue Jay. Belt assures the problem has now vanished, after an off-season of rehab and a gentle reintroduction since reporting to camp. If I can keep it more like I’m playing defence in the game, I’ll be better off because that’s what I’m used to. I’ve been doing that for years and I’ve had some success in the DH role.” Albeit just a dozen DH turns with San Francisco in ’22.
