Here are the top 3 stories in Dunedin today:

1. Dunedin Parks & Recreation offers a free seminar on "Revolutionizing Medical Technology" on March 22 at 10:00 AM in the Hale Senior Activity Center. The seminar will be presented by Biotechnology Professional Frank Magnarelli and will cover remote robotic surgery, 3D printing of body parts, and 3D x-rays. Attendees will view film clips demonstrating how these technologies work, how they are used, and their implications for the future. No registration is required. (Dunedin Patch)
2. All-Star third baseman Matt Chapman was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. A five-year veteran and three-time Gold Glove winner, Chapman hit .201 with 27 home runs and 72 RBIs in 151 games for the Athletics last season. Additionally, he was a first-time All-Star in 2019. Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkin commented on Chapman's skills, saying "He's a big-time threat on both sides of the ball and that's hard to find."
