Summary
JD opens with thoughts on where the Blue Jays are at through 92 games of the season including why Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s performance is the hinge point before the trade deadline and what the roster's biggest holes are. Next, JD touches (12:00) on Daniel Alfredsson joining the Maple Leafs coaching staff and why it bothers him. Jim Bowden, MLB insider, joins JD (22:00) to get into the Blue Jays' potential pathways before the trade deadline, the value of the team's relievers and if they’d entertain trading them, how the potential of a lockout is affecting MLB front offices, and the favourites to land Tarik Skubal in a trade.
