Description

Baseball is back! Blair and Barker break down today's negotiations, the voting process and how both sides came to an agreement, the international draft stumbling block, the rule changes that will come into effect, and some of the numbers in the agreement (0:28). Next, a discussion about what's next for the Blue Jays, including free agents the team could pursue, possible trades, and fits (12:50), before pivoting to chat about Jon Heyman's report that the player's union executive board vote was 8-0 against the MLB proposal but teams voted 26-4 in favor of it (22:35). Then Shi Davidi joins to discuss the agreement, what Ross Atkins may look to add to improve the club, how quickly he expects the player market to pick up, and the pressure on Charlie Montoyo (34:42). Blair and Barker then discuss why this year the focus for Toronto has to be on winning the World Series- not just making the postseason (55:54). To wrap, Blue Jays player rep Ross Stripling stops by to chat about the lockout being over, how he's feeling physically, his mindset heading into the vote, and how his teammates reacted to the news (1:16:16).Watch on YouTube.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 affiliate.
