JTP: Phillies Check-In & Why Didn’t Toronto Add a Deadline Bat?

Blake Murphy is joined by Jonah Birenbaum of theScore to discuss why the Blue Jays didn't add a bat at the trade deadline and whether Dylan Cease has a legitimate case to win the AL Cy Young Award. Later, Kevin Pillar (30:03) breaks down José Soriano's arsenal, explains why he's a believer in Josh Smith, and shares his thoughts on Dylan Cease's impressive season. Mike Petriello (50:12) of MLB.com then joins the show to discuss the Blue Jays, Soriano's taking the hill, Luis Arraez, the Phillies, and the Washington Nationals. To wrap up, Charlotte Varnes (1:14:49) of The Athletic previews the Phillies ahead of their three-game series with Toronto, including an update on the club and a look at the pitching staff the Blue Jays will face.
