Benoit Richaud is coaching 16 figure skaters from 13 different countries. I asked him about all the different jackets he has.

Just finished a wonderful conversation with renowned figure skating coach Benoit Richard.
He coaches 🇨🇦Stephen Gogolev. And just told me that 7 months ago he told a friend he thought Stephen would finish 5th at the Olympics.
Gogolev finished 5th at the Olympics.

Jesús Sánchez tells us that he’s known Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for a long time: the two arrived together this morning.
He also told us he hit a ball 508ft in AAA.
This image may be the most upset he looked the entire time. I’ve never seen a man happier to do media. #BlueJays

In the Toronto Star I write about Toronto Police's violent corruption scandal. Will it move the needle on police reform? It's a dramatic escalation in a long history of police intimidation, bullying their critics & broken trust. I argue 3 big things have to happen, including firing this chief.

John Schneider was asked if Kazuma Okamoto has landed yet, because he’s expected at the #BlueJays’ complex today:
“All I know is that he’s expected to be here in the building at 4:00. Last time I tracked a flight, it wasn’t very good for me.”
