Attn. Blue Jays Radio Crew: Stop Playing This Liner

When the Blue Jay broadcasts come back from their breaks between innings, they always run a player's favourite song, followed by the player saying something like, "This is George Springer and you're listening to Blue Jays baseball."

Which is fine, except for the one I just heard on The Fan. There was the usual tune, followed by a voice saying, "This is Cavan Biggio and you're listening to Blue Jays baseball on the Sportsnet Radio Network." 

The problem? The Jays designated Biggio for assignment on Friday and he's no longer on the team. So they played an intro for a guy who's not there anymore. I'm sure these just come up randomly in the rotation, but it might be a good idea to take that one out of the run before they use it again, an ID from a guy who will soon be playing for someone else.
