Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open the show discussing Barker’s observations at the Blue Jays Player Development Complex, notably Brandon Belt looking strong doing drills at first base. The guys also examine Yusei Kikuchi’s velocity as he prepares for his latest Grapefruit league start, Zach Pop’s role in 2023, and how Toronto is equipped with better options in the bullpen than a year ago. MLB Insider Jeff Passan talks about spending time around the Blue Jays in spring training, which players could be ex-factors for the team in 2023, and what a contract extension could look like for Matt Chapman at season’s end (29:51).
