from Blair & Barker · host Sportsnet

Approaching the official deadline, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by former MLB executive David Samson (1:48) to discuss the inflated starting pitcher market, the Jays' hesitancy to 'fully' sell and whether a good deadline can save a GM's job. Then, he shares some winners from the day. Blue Jays Central's Caleb Joseph (20:57) shares his thoughts on the Jays' active deadline, reacts live to the IKF trade and discusses the team's next steps toward their goal of being competitive in 2025. As the deadline passes, Jeff and Kevin do a final roundup of Toronto's trades and the big moves around MLB before they are joined by Astros analyst Geoff Blum (57:36), who shares what the Jays are getting with their return in the Yusei Kikuchi deal - Joey Loperfido, Jake Bloss & Will Wagner.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
