Rays' Contention + Most Disappointing Teams in 2026

Blair & Barker

About this episode

Blue Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman (0:43) looks at the team's trade deadline options, the potential last start for Kevin Gausman in Toronto, the change in his delivery on the mound, John Schneider's decision to move Ernie Clement in the third spot of the order, the clubhouse vibe through the down season and towards the deadline, and if the Tampa Bay Rays are one bat away towards becoming contenders. Then, host of Baseball Today and Dugout Discussions Chris Rose (27:55) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to chat about what could be behind the Boston Red Sox's recent surge, the most disappointing teams across the league and where the Jays rank, if it's fair to put the losing season on Vlad Jr., and if a looming work stoppage affects the deadline approach.
