Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker start the show reacting to Charlie Montoyo’s blunt post-game comments regarding Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi after failing to get out of the third inning Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Oakland, and discuss the decision to rest both Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. on the same night. Long-time MLB executive and former Dodgers GM Ned Colletti joins the guys to discuss what conversations are like between front offices a month away from the trade deadline and how things can differ from the American and National League (31:10).
