Defensive Decisions + Around the Majors with Jayson Stark

Jeff Blair is solo on the second hour of the Monday edition. He kicks it off by welcoming in The Athletic's Jayson Stark (3:03) to discuss his recent conversation with Nolan Ryan about Jacob Misiorowski's velocity, Bryce Harper's cycle, whether the Astros can catch the Mariners, and the Giants' rocky start in the first year of Buster Posey's tenure as President. Then, ahead of the Jays' series-opener against the Astros, Jeff listens to John Schneider's pre-game availability. Finally, Jays radio analyst Chris Leroux stops by (32:56) to share his thoughts on the team's decision to option Yohendrick Piñango, Jesús Sánchez's head-scratching outfield defence, and how Dylan Cease can be more efficient in his start against the Astros.
