Villain Rankings + Madison Shipman on Blue Jays' Deadline

Brent Gunning and Sam McKee kick off the second hour of the morning by asking the question: is any team is more hated than the Los Angeles Dodgers right now? They discuss how the blockbuster trade for Tarik Skubal has grown the Dodgers' villain status and debate how they compare to other polarizing teams. Does Major League Baseball need a salary cap to resolve this, or does the issue lie with other organizations? After the break, Sportsnet Blue Jays Central analyst Madison Shipman (23:00) joins the show to break down the Blue Jays' trade deadline, including the additions of José Soriano and other newcomers, what needs still remain, and how the club can add more power to its lineup. The conversation wraps up with a look at Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s disappointing season, whether a lineup change could help him snap out of his slump, and what the future holds heading into next year.
