Jays Division Push, Bo and the Best Deadline Deals w/ Jim Bowden + Robertson... Again

JD starts the week with thoughts on the Blue Jays' dominant victory over the Rockies after losing the previous series to the Royals, and the Yankees' struggles as they attempt to make up ground on Toronto, before getting into the recent heroics of Bo Bichette (00:00). Jim Bowden, MLB insider and former GM, joins the show to break down the Blue Jays' moves at the trade deadline, notably the Shane Bieber acquisition from the Guardians, how the Jays should approach the rotation with the emergence of Eric Lauer, the additions to the bullpen, the question of whether or not Bichette will re-sign in Toronto, and the front office's strategy to continue improving the farm system (7:51). Later, JD touches on the Maple Leafs settling with Nick Robertson on a one-year contract ahead of his arbitration hearing, and where the Leafs' bottom-six is headed next season (37:11).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.
