Description

The Jays can’t complete the sweep against the Angels, but do manage to scoop up perhaps the best reliever on the market. Host Blake Murphy gives his thoughts on Jordan Hicks, before welcoming in Sportsnet MLB Insider Shi Davidi to recap Toronto's weekend on and off the field and forecast what else could be coming ahead of tomorrow's deadline. Next, Cardinals reporter for The Athletic, Katie Woo shares what Hicks brings to the Blue Jays' bullpen and who else might be on the way out of St. Louis (31:50). In the second hour, former MLB catcher and current Blue Jays analyst, Caleb Joseph offers a player's perspective of adding a big name at the deadline, before breaking down how a catcher adjusts to a flamethrower like Hicks (50:50). Later on, Blake first checks in with prospect writer Doug Fox, better known as DM Fox on Substack, to get the lowdown on some of the names that were shipped out and an update on some other “Future Blue Jays” that are still in the system (01:13:47). To wrap up today, FanGraphs' Ben Clemens hops aboard to look around the majors at some of the moves already made and teams that could still be looking to do more before the deadline (01:24:00). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
