The final hour of The FAN Morning Show kicks off with Ben Nicholson-Smith dropping by to discuss the Blue Jays’ relatively quiet trade deadline, the need for more production from the team’s top stars, why the Jays were unable to swing a deal for Teoscar Hernández, how Bo Bichette’s injury impacted the Jays’ deadline plans, and the Orioles’ disciplined roster-building approach. Afterwards, Brent and Sam are joined by Jim Duquette, former MLB GM and current analyst for SiriusXM MLB Network Radio, to chat about the scarcity of blockbuster deals on deadline day, the New York Mets’ teardown, the Blue Jays’ deadline additions, why he’s still bullish on this Jays team, and his philosophy on roster building (29:19).
