MLB Trades Begin to Heat Up Ahead of Deadline

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert kick things off with Nick Ashbourne (1:05) following the Blue Jays' thrilling 9-8 win over the Orioles. They discuss the importance of the Jays ending their losing streak, the impact tomorrow’s trade deadline could have on the team's future, what changes when Daulton Varsho returns, as well as who could be expendable for the Jays at the deadline. Then, Ailish and Justin go through their confidence ratings in the Jays' bullpen arms. Next, Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer Ryan Dempster joins the show (26:44) to discuss the Jhoan Duran trade that sends the Twins closer to the Phillies. Then, they go through some of the big names taken off the market and those who are still available, what the deadline is like from a player's perspective, who he's keeping an eye on most, and much more. 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.
