Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap a victorious weekend for the Blue Jays as they picked up wins against the Rays, Tigers, and Phillies; and break down the most recent outings from Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman, and Chris Bassitt. The guys also discuss the status of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s knee injury which has forced him to skip the World Baseball Classic, who will be the 26th man on the roster, and the Blue Jays’ deciding to get rid of their home run jacket. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi previews the World Baseball Classic, how the Dominican Republic will offset the loss of Guerrero, and which teams he thinks are being overlooked and could surprise (31:10). To end the show, Blair & Barker check their voicemail and send Barker on assignment (45:10)!
