The former Cy Young award winner opens up about working his way back to full health and his disappointment in that first outing, with hopes for better in the second half. We're also joined by Joey Loperfido, a favourite in the Jays' 2025 clubhouse - and a great contributor when given the opportunity - who was traded back to the Astros this spring for Jesus Sanchez. As it turns out, we gave Loperfido the DLF bump, unfortunately for the Blue Jays. And we'll play \"Meet The New Guy\" with Luis Urias, who the Jays acquired from Arizona earlier in the week. The 29-year-old homered in his first game before making a huge base running blunder in his second. All that, plus a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!","meta_description":"Guests: Blue Jays pitcher Shane Bieber, infielder Luis Urias; Houston Astros outfielder Joey Loperfido This week in Deep Left Field, we talk to Shane Bieb…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4411,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/deep-left-field-with-mike-wilner-2232779/episodes/shane-bieber-s-return-joey-loperfido-s-revenge-and-meet-luis-urias/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/deep-left-field-with-mike-wilner-2232779/shane-bieber-s-return-joey-loperfido-s-revenge-and-meet-luis-urias.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
