Description
Blake Murphy is joined by At The Letters' Ben Nicholson-Smith to share his reaction to the firing of Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo and discuss what he brought to the clubhouse in the last three years, John Schneider's fit as the interim manager, and if there's a chance for him stay in the role long-term (01:45). MLB.com's Keegan Matheson weighs in on the timing of the firing and how the players could respond to a new voice at the helm (22:14). Drew Fairservice, co-host of the "Spin Rate" podcast, shares his thoughts on how Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro view the core and if there was an area in Montoyo's philosophy that needed a change (35:12). Sportsnet.ca's Shi Davidi jumps on to discuss how Toronto's front office will evaluate itself after releasing their chosen manager three years prior and if Schneider was already poised to make the jump to the big chair (50:17). Afterward, we jump into today's press conferences and hear from GM Ross Atkins (01:16:27) and interim manager John Schneider (01:35:56). Sportsnet.ca's Arden Zwelling reacts to both Atkins and Schneider's pressers, before reflecting on the timeline of the Blue Jays' decision to let Charlie go (01:59:09). To wrap up, The FAN Drive Time's Ben Ennis stops by and gives his perspective on the big story of the day and his expectations for the remainder of the season (02:14:16).
