## Resource

JD reacts to the Vegas Golden Knights taking a commanding 3-0 series lead. Ben Nicholson-Smith, MLB insider and Sportsnet Jays reporter, discusses the minor injuries to Dylan Cease and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., if Patrick Corbin is the Jays MVP so far this season, which position player will be sent down with the nearing returns of Addison Barger and Nathan Lukes, Alejandro Kirk's next steps to returning, what Guerrero Jr.'s expectations were this season, what José Berríos' Tommy John surgery means for the future of the Jays rotation, and if the Jays are serious contenders to trade or sign for Tarik Skubal. The show ends with 'What We Missed!'
