The Reality of a Looming Deadline with Kevin Pillar & Kevin Frandsen

Former Blue Jay, current Blue Jays Central analyst and host of Blue Bird Territory Kevin Pillar (2:48) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to discuss dealing with the noise around the trade deadline as a player, why pending free agents could be on the move, Shane Bieber's performances since coming off of Tommy John surgery, why the season so far has been a failure on the players over the manager and coaching staff, Dylan Cease's evolution, and his role in the upcoming 'The Catch' movie. Then, we hear from manager John Schneider and share some reactions on injury updates for Addison Barger, Yimi Garcia and Jesus Sanchez. Afterwards, former MLBer and current colour analyst for the Washington Nationals Kevin Frandsen (38:05) joins the guys to chat about CJ Abrams' future with the club, if he's surprised with the Nats' offence or pitching performances this year, and what manager Blake Butera has brought to the organization.  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.
