## Resource

Blue Jays reporter and recent recipient of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's Jack Graney Award, Hazel Mae (1:57), joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to kick off the second hour of the off-day edition. She shares her thoughts on the Jays' series loss against the Yankees, missed opportunities on offence, and the bullpen's workload. Then, co-host of Intentional Talk and former MLB pitcher Ryan Dempster (21:13) discusses the state of the American League, who should make the call on Max Scherzer's future, Trey Yesavage's rookie road bumps, how players stay motivated on slumping teams, and Jacob Misiorowski's all-time stuff. 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.
