The Vladdy Conversation with Terry Collins and Kevin Pillar

Former Mets manager Terry Collins (4:00) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker following the Jays' series-opening win over the Mets. Terry weighs in on whether moving Vladdy Jr. in the Jays order will help the struggling star, his philosophy on managing ageing stars, and the challenge of following up a World Series run. Then, Jeff and Kevin listen to John Schneider's pre-game availability, in which he outlines the pitching plan for Canada Day following Patrick Corbin's move to the bullpen. Finally, Kevin Pillar stops by (29:34) to help tee up game two between the Jays and Mets, and he discusses New York's fielding dysfunction and whether the All-Star break or an IL stint can get Vladdy back on track.  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.
