With the eyes of the sporting universe focused squarely on the World Baseball Classic, TCA fires up another week checking in with our pal Andrew Stoeten of TheBatFlip.ca.

Why does this WBC feel bigger than most? Where does Canada stand walking away and has MLB finally turned this thing in to something with serious traction?

Later on talk turns to spring training for the Toronto Blue Jays. What do early looks at Max Scherzer suggest he might be able to bring this year? Is there a chance Toronto can get Dalton Varsho locked up before Opening Day? Might the Jays get a big boost from a former big name?

It's all baseball all the time on this Monday edition of TCA. Get it in ya!
