Bo Bichette has continued to get better over his tenure as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, adding more and more to his strengths while putting in the work to minimize his weaknesses. MLB dot com's Keegan Matheson joins the final episode of 40 in 30 to talk about the face of the Jays franchise.

After two stellar seasons as the ace of the Blue Jays staff, Kevin Gausman is primed to continue to rise to the level of the game's elite pitchers. Old Reliable Andrew Stoeten stops by to look deeper at the best pitcher in the Jays rotation, and potentially one of the best in franchise history.

We're finally made it out of the wilderness everyone, spring training is over and we've got a season preview on the way.

Check out a full episode full of best and worst feelings around individual players, the machinations of the bottom of the roster, and some bold predictions for the season overall.

We've got an extra couple guest episodes around so why not share them!

In honour of Jose Berrios being named Opening Day starter The much maligned WhyJays / Mr. Baby / aka White Silk joins the show to take a closer look at La Makina, a model of pitching consistency that had an odd hiccup in 2022 but managed to bounce back to his old self with a stellar 2023.

And Yusei Kikuchi pulled his Blue Jays career out of the gutter with an incredible bounce-back 2023 campaign that saw him post career bests in every worthwhile category. Chris Boulding jumps onto the show to analyze the changes that helped Kikuchi climb back out of the bullpen and into the waiting arms of the Blue Jays faithful.

Anyone who remembers where they were when George Springer joined the Toronto Blue Jays also probably remembers that is was our friend BK live from the barber's chair as the one to break the news. Coming off a slightly disappointing season for Springer, BK takes up the mantle as a Springer Guy to look into the numbers and discover if there is any data lurking that we can pin our hopes to in search of a bounce back in 2024.

Alejandro Kirk experienced how quick a narrative can change in 2023, where a previous season's favourite ball of barrels and joy was replaced with a lack of power and some serious trouble adding value on the basepaths. A bat first prospect, he has developed into an excellent defensive catcher, but is the fall off in 2023 too much to bear or is there a sign of life that 2024 can get him back to the line drive producing piece of the puzzle he once was. The infamous GROF, Drew Fairservice joins the show to examine his own accounts of Kirk's progress and maps an outlook for an uncertain future.

I love Chris Bassitt. This is a guy who represents what pitching is really all about to me. Endless tinkering, a curious mind, big-picture thinking, it's all part of the joy that comes with watching and analyzing Chris Bassitt. Fellow curious mind Jonah Birenbaum joins the show to talk about the Hound on the Mound.

Here's the thing: Daulton Varsho doesn't have to be that good to be really good. If you're in the mood to get talked into a rejuvenation year for Daulton Varsho in 2024, this is a good podcast to listen to. Chris Black (@DownToBlack) joins the show to look at what happened to cause so much trouble in 2023 and where a small improvement can go a long way to make 2024 the beginning of a great relationship between Toronto and Varsho.

Finally, a new player! Well, an old player, actually. But a new Blue Jay! Justin Turner brings some veteran grit and Done It All savvy to a Jays lineup that seeks to replace the Adult In The Room vacated by Brandon Belt. Does he have another good year left in his bat, and are there things beyond quantifiable stats that can help this 2024 team win it all? Rob Wong stops by to break it all down

We know him, we love him, we want to see more of him. Danny Jansen has been around the Blue Jays longer than Mark Shapiro. What could happen if he played a full season's worth of games? And what unmeasurables does he fill our hearts with? Scott Belford of the Walkoff Pod joins to get sentimental about the Jays de facto captain, and wonder what has to happen for an extension to get signed.
