2026 Trade Deadline Wrap-Up with Shi Davidi and Jon Morosi

With the 2026 MLB trade deadline in the books, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker reflect on the Blue Jays' moves, grade Ross Atkins' performance, and react to the flurry of deals finalized after the 6 PM cutoff, including the Padres' buzzer-beater acquisition of Casey Mize. Sportsnet MLB insider Shi Davidi (7:19) weighs in on the biggest surprises for the Blue Jays on deadline day, who will take Jeff Hoffman's leverage innings, the clubhouse vibe, and how the centrefield-duties will be split without Daulton Varsho. Later, Jeff and Kevin chat about where the Jays stand for the rest of 2026 and beyond and hear from manager John Schneider ahead of the Jays' series-opener against Varsho and the Astros. Finally, Jeff and Kevin wrap up the trade deadline edition with MLB Network insider Jon Morosi (35:56), who reflects on how the Jays went from the World Series to this point, Kevin Gausman's Toronto legacy, what they're getting in José Soriano, and the day's winners and losers.
