Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker start with the news that Bo Bichette has been activated off the IL and will be active for tonight’s game against the Royals. They discuss what to expect from him in his return, take a look around the teams in the Wild Card race heading into the weekend, how the Rangers could stop their poorly-timed slump and what effect the manager has on their drastic slide. Later, they are joined by Royals TV analyst Rex Hudler (26:14) who shares his thoughts on the ‘Buffalo Brigade’ and reflects on the time he was a call-up spark plug for the Expos in the late 80s before teeing up tonight’s series opener between the Jays and Royals.
