Description
Blake Murphy is joined by The Athletic's Kaitlyn McGrath to chat about George Springer's elbow issue, her takeaways from Yusei Kikuchi's first start coming off the IL, Danny Jansen's relationship with Kikuchi, and if this outing will adjust the organization's trade deadline plans (4:40). Then, MLB.com's Sarah Langs shares her thoughts on the Jays being one of the top three offence in the league, Matt Chapman's resurgence at the plate, and why she would choose to trade for Juan Soto if the same return package was similar to a trade for Shohei Ohtani (26:02). Afterward, Blue Jays radio voice Ben Wagner jumps on to discuss the change in the aggression on the bases from the players, Bo Bichette's first day off the season, how Zack Collins goes about his day without being in the lineup on a game-to-game basis, and how has Chapman turned around his season (50:27). To wrap up, Blake looks at your texts and tweets with days away from the trade deadline, and previews the rest of the weekend series against the Detroit Tigers (1:15:35).

Manoah Magic Bottled, Blue Jays Blanked at Home: Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 4-0 loss to the Yankees at Rogers Centre. He takes your calls and texts, and gets into whether or not the 'Red Jersey Curse' is real (spoiler: it is). He gets into the outing by Alek Manoah, discusses if he struggled (in part) due to not using the PitchCom device, and whether or not he should consider adopting it going forward with the pitch clock eventually on its way to the majors. Plus, a chat on the game's umpiring and the prospects of robot strike zones/umpires at large.
