## Resource

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour by breaking down the Blue Jays' rough weekend in Seattle. They focus on the team's ongoing offensive struggles, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s disappointing season and decision to skip the All-Star Game to manage his back, Shane Bieber's outlook as a rotation option, and whether the Jays are trending toward being buyers or sellers ahead of the trade deadline. They also reflect on how the club's World Series run has shaped expectations. Later, Jays Care chair James Dodds (31:15) joins the show to discuss the organization's impact in Toronto and across Canada, its continued growth, the lasting influence of the World Series run, and the significance of welcoming Blue Jays alumni back to the city. 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.
