Description
Jeff and Kevin continue to be in awe of Yordan Álvarez' ability and hear why manager Dusty Baker says the Astros' slugger reminds him of Barry Bonds. ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian looks back at the Blue Jays’ quick postseason exit, before discussing Carlos Correa opting-out of his Twins contract, this winter’s free-agent shortstop market and the division series in both the AL & NL (11:47). Blair and Barker call up Fox Sports’ Adam Amin, who is calling Dodgers-Padres tonight, to get his thoughts on the series so far, bullpen usage throughout this postseason, who needs to step up for the Padres at home, and the raucous atmosphere he’s expecting at Petco Park (32:29).

Live from Rogers Centre, It's Opening Day!: Happy Opening Day! Blair and Barker are live from Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays get set to take on the Texas Rangers, and are joined off the hop by Dan Shulman to chat about the atmosphere at the ballpark, how a crowd can impact play-by-play, Bo and Vlad Jr. being "young veterans", reasonable expectations for Alek Manoah, Danny Jansen and Cavan Biggio, the acquisition of Bradley Zimmer, how key a healthy George Springer and Jordan Romano will be to the team's success, how aggressive Charlie Montoyo might be, and how the Jays might use PitchCom (2:22). Next, Rangers manager Chris Woodward stops by to discuss the makeup of his group after a busy offseason, if chemistry is an issue, what Corey Seager brings to the club, and his experiences so far with PitchCom (30:47).
