Summary
After years of bouncing around teams and battling injuries, Blake Hunt is finally getting his MLB shot with the San Diego Padres—thanks to a cascade of injuries to the catching corps. Originally drafted by San Diego in 2017, traded in the Blake Snell deal, and re-signed on a minor league deal last December, Hunt’s path to the majors has been anything but smooth. But since his rehab assignment, he’s been crushing it—two homers and a solid line in his first eight Triple-A games. With Freddy Fermin sidelined and Rodolfo Durán stepping in, Hunt is now poised to debut Tuesday, joining a growing list of minor leaguers earning their big-league call-ups. At 6’4” and 215 lbs, Hunt brings power and a quick release, and after all the setbacks, this moment feels earned. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
