Locked On Blue Jays - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Blue Jays

Let the arguments begin.

A.J. Andrews kicks off her Top Five list of the Most Important Blue Jays of 2020 with the only one of the famous three MLB sons to make it onto the countdown. While she has her reasons for excluding the other two, mostly for reasons that this is a Top Five list and not a "Rank All the Blue Jays" list, what Cavan Biggio did this season is prove how valuable his particular set of skills is going to be the Blue Jays going forward, and how it's letting them dip their toes in all the free agent pools this winter. Now if only they could act on it...

Gotcha. Sorry. It'll be worth it though!

A.J. Andrews is counting off the remaining few days of this hellscape year with a Top Five list of her most important Blue Jays of 2020! She knows that lists are catalysts for well-argued debate and civil discourse, so get ready for a lot of that! She starts by naming some honorable mentions, three each from the hitting and pitching sides of the ball, that needed 2020 to prove some things. Some of them fell flat, some of them did very well. She'll get more in-depth with the first member of the Top 5 in the next episode!

Javi Reyes must be cartwheeling right now.

A.J. Andrews returns from another period where her mental health has failed her to discuss just what happened in MLB on Dec. 28. And by MLB, we mean in San Diego, since they did everything. She discusses what Blake Snell leaving the AL East, Ha-Seung Kim signing on with the Padres and the Cubs giving up on their fans out of spite means for the Blue Jays and what they are trying to accomplish this offseason. And they better start accomplishing...

No offense to Tyler White, but come on.

With only minor league signings to talk about before, A.J. Andrews discusses why the major league signings haven't been forthcoming with the Blue Jays. Using the Toronto Star's Gregor Chisholm's recent column as a framing device, she discusses the cause-and-effect that most signings will have on the team and how that can upset the continued growth of the core. Then folding in Bo Bichette's recent appearance on Ross Stripling's podcast, she figures out why DJ LeMahieu is on top of his FA wishlist, and how Gregor arrived at the conclusion of this being Bo's team, and what that does to what the Blue Jays want to do.

At least the host is used to birthdays with minimal people, so this pandemic one was no problem.

Fresh off a day of cupcakes and new clothes, A.J. Andrews is back, slightly older but just as wise. She unwraps the present that the Blue Jays got her for her birthday: three minor-league signings! Two of whom should be very familiar to Blue Jays fans! She discusses what Tyler White, Forrest Wall and Richard Ureña bring to the organization and what it would mean to see any of them in a Jays uniform in 2021.

All those rumours and this is what I get?

Yes, this is what she gets. The Blue Jays filled out their 40-man roster, and not in ways that the fans have been expecting. A.J. Andrews discusses what Walker Lockett and Anthony Castro bring to the table that the Mariners and Tigers didn't want to keep around. Spoiler: they may not be around long enough to do the things she talks about. Plus, a Rule V Draft review, most about the Blue Jays losing a bunch of players.

Give the people what they want... eventually...

A.J. Andrews returns with a long-awaited episode discussing why the Blue Jays shouldn't sign Marcell Ozuna or Kyle Schwarber. The point should be obvious, but it does allow her to dovetail in the Winter Meetings in general and what the Blue Jays did not do. Plus, James McCann signed a four-year deal with the Mets! Why does this matter? Because now the Blue Jays are a lock to sign J.T. Realmuto! She explains why this thought is very rushed.

So many outfielders...

With 59 players being non-tendered this week, A.J. Andrews needed help sorting through them all. So she turned to Josh Neighbors of Locked On Nationals and the two hosts combine to discuss who their respective teams can target, why so many players were non-tendered, and how much A.J.'s obsession with making Brad Hand a Blue Jay has died down. Spoiler: it hasn't.

You can hum "Kids in America" now. I am. Thanks Len.

With MLB.com updating its rankings of MLB prospects, A.J. Andrews assesses Mike Rosenbaum's assessment of the Blue Jays farm system and where some of the top prospects are. She notes the success the Toronto front office has had at making their high-value picks count, and how that set the team up for a lot of what it wants to accomplish in the years ahead. She also highlights a couple of below-the-radar prospects that have tools that could come into play as the Blue Jays move closer to contention.

2020 is doing it's best to go out with a bang.

A.J. Andrews is not doing great. She discusses the news that a couple of friends got, one on a more personal level, the other on a more Blue Jays-relevant level. With the news that Mike Wilner would not be doing play-by-play for Sportsnet this season, she discusses what made the friend of the show so good at vocalizing the thoughts of the fan base and channeling what made Toronto sports their best. Then, more Francisco Lindor talk, because why wouldn't there be?
