LIVE: Escaping .500 & Trade Deadline Decisions w/ Bob File

from Jay Bird Watching · host Craig Borden/ Jason Lyons/ Liz McGuire

The Jay Bird Watching Bar Room is officially open, and we have a big leaguer joining us to talk about some massive mid-season decisions! This week on the podcast, Craig, Liz, and Jason are thrilled to welcome former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Bob File to the show! Together, we are breaking down the state of the roster as the All-Star Game and MLB trade deadline rapidly approach. Despite legit All-Star caliber performances from Ernie Clement and Louie Varland, this team finds itself frustratingly stuck just below a .500 record. We are grabbing a beverage with Bob to get a player's perspective on the tough questions: What is it going to take for this clubhouse to finally win more games consistently? And as July ticks away, will the Blue Jays front office be buyers or sellers at the deadline? A massive shoutout to our sponsor, J. Birdy Baseball Co., Canada's Baseball Brand, for keeping the JBW crew outfitted! Grab a bar stool, pour your favorite beverage, and join the live chat to ask Bob your questions and let us know who you want to see traded! LIVE Tonight @ 7 PM EST!
