Summary
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Toronto Blue Jays' weekend series win over the Angels. They discuss Addison Barger's brief return as he is set for an MRI on his elbow, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. showing frustration, Trey Yesavage's outing on Saturday, and whether Spencer Miles can be the Jays' fifth starter. Later, host of 'Nothing Personal' and former MLB president David Samson (26:34) stops by to share his thoughts on what's gone wrong for the Mets this season, Vladdy's season so far, how front offices evaluate their teams at the quarter-season mark, and whether the Giants trading Patrick Bailey to the Guardians will spur more trade action around the Majors.
