Baseball season is back and to kick things off we sit down in Dunedin with Toronto Blue Jays reliever Erik Swanson on the windiest day possible to go over the ins and outs of the 30-year-old high-leverage reliever’s career.
From growing up and living in a place made movie famous — Fargo, North Dakota, don’t yah know? — to being traded three times early in his career, Swanson goes over his journey from eighth-round pick of the Texas Rangers, the trade that sent him to the Big Apple in exchange for Carlos Beltran, then a trip to Seattle in exchange for James Paxton, and, finally, the deal for Teoscar Hernandez that landed him in Toronto.
During that winding road a lot happened — Swanson transitioned from starting pitcher to the bullpen, learned a new, elite pitch that has carried his success, and even had some thoughts about a career outside of baseball when things weren’t going well.
Enjoy the conversation with a man now known for his devastating splitter!
