Description
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker discuss the Blue Jays' reported signing of Justin Turner - do we have Bo Bichette to thank for that? They get into what position Turner is most likely to play on the field and chat about his plate discipline - to get into the kind of player he is in the clubhouse, they bring on WEEI's Rob Bradford (12:01). Rob discusses seeing Turner play for the Red Sox, and the kind of effect a 39-year old veteran bat has on other guys when things aren't going well. Afterwards, they chat about what this might mean for the rest of the roster - who else is out there?

They discuss the press conferences by Rob Manfred and Tony Clark, Manfred's path forward as commissioner, and players wanting to be treated as people instead of assets. Afterwards, they break down the major remaining issues, including the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) and how both the players and owners view it very differently.
