Later on, MLB Network Radio and Rockies analyst Ryan Spilborghs joins the guys to explain why the Blue Jays are his pick to win the American League, what Daulton Varsho and Brandon Belt will add to Toronto’s lineup, Kevin Kiermaier’s defence, and how he thinks players will adapt to the game’s rule changes (24:40).
