Moving on From a World Series Roster with Mike Rizzo

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' series-opening win against the Washington Nationals and discuss Max Scherzer's return, Jeff Hoffman and Tyler Rogers' trade values, and whether a win streak could change the Jays' deadline plans. Then, former Washington Nationals GM and President Mike Rizzo joins the show (25:48) to discuss retooling a team after a World Series run as he did with the Nats in 2021, the trade deadline from an executive's point of view, the challenges of moving a player with trade protection, Max Scherzer's legacy, and what went into the Juan Soto trade negotiations.
