About this episode
Blue Jays Central analyst Caleb Joseph joins the show (3:50) to share his thoughts on whether the 2026 roster can get back on track, if defensive slumps are real, Kevin Gausman's last five starts, and the veteran buy-in during a down season. Then, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker hear from manager John Schneider ahead of their third game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Afterwards, The Athletic's Jayson Stark (26:47) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to chat about his mid-season awards, Vlad Jr.'s low home run numbers, the Boston Red Sox tying their franchise record win streak, and which teams are poised to make a splash at the trade deadline.
