## Resource

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin the show previewing the Blue Jays road series against the Boston Red Sox, how the Jays should gameplan against lefty Payton Tolle and Fenway Park. Then, ESPN's and Sources Tell Jeff Passan joins the guys to chat about the 1994 MLB strike, if this generation of owners and players would navigate a work stoppage, why he's not given up on the Blue Jays, the American League being wide open for the post-season, how the Red Sox will handle the 2026 trade deadline, and if Jarren Duran would be on the trade list.
