Donaldson, Bonds meet former clubs on MLB.TV
- Updated: April 22, 2016
A pair of MVPs will meet their former teams today.
Since the A’s traded Josh Donaldson to the Blue Jays in November 2014, all the third baseman has done is lead Toronto back to the postseason, take American League MVP honors and then get off to hot start again this year. Today the two teams meet for the first time in ’16, beginning a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
Later in the evening, when the Marlins play their series opener at AT&T Park, it will mark first-year hitting coach Barry Bonds’ return to the city where he starred for so many years. In 15 seasons for the Giants, Bonds was a four-time National League MVP and hit the final 586 of his record 762 home runs.
Both of those games — as well as the other 13 on the schedule — will be available live on MLB.TV.
MLB.TV Premium returns with the same features as last year, but at $109.99, it is a full 20 bucks cheaper than the 2015 cost. This package has the best value and provides access to more than 400 devices and a free subscription to the MLB.com At Bat Premium app (a $19.99 value).

The new MLB.TV Single Team package is also now available as an $84.99 yearly subscription. You can watch a single team’s live out-of-market games in full HD.
Here is a look at what to watch for today in the Majors (all times ET):
Remember me?: OAK@TOR, 7:07 p.m. In six games against his former club last year, Donaldson went 7-for-25 (.280) with two doubles, a homer, five RBIs and an .813 OPS. That includes a 2-for-3 effort against A’s ace Sonny Gray, who gets an outing at Rogers Centre for the first time since 2013. The right-hander has put together three consecutive quality starts to begin the season, posting a 2.33 ERA, although each of those outings came at home. The Jays are countering with 23-year-old righty Aaron Sanchez, who has been lights-out this season, allowing 10 hits and striking out 20 over 20 innings.
