About this episode
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (1:45) to get into detail on his new article previewing the 2024 trade deadline a week away. He discusses the Blue Jays 'subtracting, but not completely,' what type of return they'll look for in trades and Bo/Vlad's long-term futures in Toronto. Then, around MLB, he weighs in on fringe teams that could make a splash, the Braves' & Phillies' arms race and the AL MVP race. Later, Ben Shulman (31:27) helps tee up the Blue Jays' series opener against the Rays tonight, what to expect from José Berríos and how they'll approach workloads for players likely to be traded.
