Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the current state of the Blue Jays following the conclusion of their 4-2 road trip against the Rockies and A’s. The guys talk about how Bo Bichette may be nearing a return after working out at Rogers Centre, Chad Green’s outings in the bullpen since being activated, and Toronto catching a break ahead of next week’s pivotal Rangers series with Adolis Garcia hitting the IL. ESPN’s Jeff Passan joins the guys with his thoughts on the Royals young talent (notably Bobby Witt Jr.) ahead of the Toronto-KC series, the impressive pitching matchups for the Texas series, and if Bruce Bochy is deserving of any blame for how Texas has played recently (32:30).
