The Blue Jays were off yesterday, but Major League Baseball may have seen its greatest day in history; thanks (of course) to Shohei Ohtani, just as his Angels come to Toronto to play the Jays. Host Blake Murphy welcomes Sportsnet’s own Jeff Blair for a Blue Jays trade deadline primer, highlighting what the organization's focus should be and the importance of, not only getting it done but, the urgency to do it. Next up, Zach Crizer of Yahoo! Sports’ The Bandwagon Podcast identifies some teams who may be a bit more aggressive at the deadline given how big (or small) their winning windows are (31:00). To start the second hour, Angels TV play-by-play voice Wayne Randazzo stops by to discuss the state of the Halos on the heels of some major trades, before teeing up this weekend's pivotal series in Toronto (50:20). Blake’s last guest today is the editor-in chief of Baseball Prospectus, Craig Goldstein, who offers a more analytical look at the deadline and discusses what scouts look for in prospects (01:12:15).
