Episode 18: Bowden Francis

*This episode is dedicated to Pat Montgomery and Andrieana Montgomery. Rest in peace.*
On episode 18 of The SMS, we're joined by Blue Jays hurler Bowden Francis.
The 28-year-old right-hander sits down to talk about everything from his thrifting addiction to how his parents influenced his career in different ways.
When we get into baseball talk, there's no shortage of topics.
The trade that brought him to Toronto alongside Trevor Richards, sending Rowdy Tellez to the Milwaukee Brewers, was an important moment in his career, but Francis has his eyes set on a starting role down the road, something he has yet to be able to lock down with the Blue Jays.
As unique an individual as he is a pitcher with a versatile skill-set, Francis is open and honest about where he wants his career to go.
