Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 1-0 win over the Cubs to avoid a sweep at Wrigley Field! They take your calls and texts, and get to another terrific outing for Bowden Francis, who turned in seven sterling innings in Chicago - after now 22 strikeouts and just one walk over his last three starts, what more does Francis have to do to earn a spot in the 2025 starting rotation? If he is a valid option for the rotation next year, how does that potentially affect what the team does in free agency? They discuss Joey Loperfido cranking a solo home run - the lone run in this ballgame - and debate whether or not Joey Votto will get a call-up ahead of a three-game series vs. the Reds. Plus, USA Today's Bob Nightengale has a report about the future of Bo Bichette - will (or should) he be a Blue Jay in 2025?
