Description
Blake Murphy opens the show looking back on some of the trades over the weekend including Luis Castillo to the Mariners and Scott Effross to the Yankees, before focusing on where the Blue Jays fit in the trade market and who fans want the team to target. FanGraphs' Ben Clemens jumps on to discuss his trade value rankings including four Jays players, the Mariners' shift from eyeing Juan Soto to the pitching market, and why he thinks starting and relief pitchers will become more expensive as the deadline nears (26:45). Sportsnet's Shi Davidi shares his sense of the Jays' options in the rental and controllable pitcher markets, and how Toronto's previous business deal with Oakland for Matt Chapman could affect a potential deal for Frankie Montas (51:42). Finally, Baseball Prospectus' Mikey Ajeto weighs in on the impact Luis Castillo will have on the Mariners' rotation, the price Seattle paid for the righty, and the Wild Card race heating up between Toronto and Seattle (01:16:14).
