## Resource

Guest: Blue Jays all-time great Carlos Delgado This week in Deep Left Field, we take a deep dive into the muddled mess that is the "race" for the final playoff spot in the American League, of which the Blue Jays are very much a part. We look at all the teams, their schedules, the math, the expectations, and what the Jays need to do in order to be a playoff team for the fifth time in seven seasons. We also have an expansive mailbag segment, making sure that you get your voice heard at deepleftfield@thestar.ca , touching on the playoff race, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s struggles, answering the question of who is the fastest Blue Jay and more! And we're thrilled to be joined by the man whose name rests atop almost all the major categories in the Blue Jays offensive record book. Carlos Delgado stops by to talk Hall of Excellence, his Jays years and more!
