Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker host; they discuss the Boston Red Sox coming to town for four games – the final time the Blue Jays and Red Sox will see each other this season – and also discuss the breaking news that Oakland OF Ramon Laureano was handed an 80-game suspension for PEDs. WEEI’s Rob Bradford (31:25) joins to discuss the Red Sox rotation vs. the Blue Jays rotation, and how Kyle Schwarber will help the lineup (once he comes off the IL). Blue Jays President and CEO Mark Shapiro (45:46) discusses how good it is to be back in Toronto, George Springer in the leadoff spot, Alek Manoah’s athleticism, and why it’s sometimes difficult getting pitchers to want to stay in the AL East. SN590’s Ben Wagner (1:15:28) breaks down the closer situation for the Jays, including whether or not Adam Cimber can continue to get saves for Toronto.
