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

Is Robbie Williams still making music? He has to be.

A.J. Andrews continues working through her grief as she looks at the the MLB Trade Rumors Top 50 free agents piece, with the Blue Jays expected to be heavy players in the offseason! However, she has some issues with their projected targets. First she looks at Jake Odorizzi, who had a snake-bitten 2020, but are there signs that his performance may not just be due to bad luck? Then she notes the underserved faction of free agents she feels will be key to exploit. Finally, she discusses DJ LeMahieu, who seems like the perfect solution for the Blue Jays OBP problem, but is he a true fit for a team that is looking for help in other places?

RIP Alex Trebek. One of the greatest Canadians.

A.J. Andrews tries to talk her way through a sombre day of shows, starting with the news that the Blue Jays are running Robbie Ray back for another season. She discusses what Ray did during his brief tenure in Toronto to earn this extended tour of duty, the changes that Pete Walker has started to implement and how some trends in his velocity explain what Ray needs to do differently in order to maintain that course correction he started while based in Buffalo.

Happy things. All the happy things.

Toronto's outfield has gone from question marks to questing for awards in a matter of months, and A.J. Andrews dissects what that means. First, Teoscar Hernandez nailing down a Silver Slugger award, and with it, solidifying his spot on the roster and the faith of Blue Jays upper management. Then, Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s Gold Glove nomination and how continued defensive growth from the left fielder will help the entire squad. It's nice to talk about these things.

I feel like a collective sigh of relief has escaped from my body.

A.J. Andrews returns from what has been a very stressful week. She explains her thoughts on the idea of keeping politics and sports separate and why she can't abide by that maxim. Then she returns to sports talk with a couple of pieces on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. She discusses how Vlad dropping all that quarantine weight was necessary for him to return to the success he enjoyed pre-MLB debut, and then lambastes him for wanting to return to third base full-time, and why that should not happen if the Blue Jays want to win big in 2021 and beyond.

Jesse Lacey is not a good man, but I've always wanted to use that song reference.

Chris Archer is a tantalizing arm on the free agent market, and Blue Jays fans have been buzzing since his departure from Pittsburgh was confirmed. A.J. Andrews dives into what went wrong with the Pirates, what his outlook post-injury is, and if it makes sense for the Jays to take the gamble on the former All-Star. Plus, listener TJ Robinson has a question about some possible prospects the Blue Jays can acquire! Sorry to say TJ, the outlook isn't so good.

Now the fun begins...

The Blue Jays weren't the only team to cut players loose yesterday, and A.J. Andrews has some thoughts on who could help Toronto build it's bullpen for 2021! She starts off small with low-budget acquisitions like Tommy Kahnle (a 2022 option) and David Robertson, before ramping up in the second half. Cam Bedrosian could be a very nice piece according to her, but she gushes, and pleads, and begs for the Blue Jays to sign one arm in particular. Someone, give her a hand.

I couldn't resist.

A.J. Andrews has decided the theme of the day is options, and she starts with a couple that the Blue Jays exercised yesterday. She discusses how both Rafael Dolis and Chase Anderson made it easy in their own ways to make the decision to exercise and decline their respective club options. In addition, we have news on the option Wilmer Font has chosen for 2021! Learn where he will be pitching and why it isn't surprising he chose that spot!

Seriously. Kevin Cash. C'mon.

The second half of the World Series Game 6 roundtable with Gabrielle Starr of Locked on Red Sox, Connor Newcomb of Locked on Orioles and Brice Paterik of Locked on Rangers comes at you with scorn for Kevin Cash and his horrible management of his starters, praise for the Dodgers as a truly competent team on the field (if not off the field), and more laughter at Rob Manfred's ineffectual leadership as the MLB released its Justin Turner statement during the recording.

Even the successes are failures for MLB.

Four Locked On Podcast hosts come together for a Game 6 roundtable, as A.J. is joined by Gabrielle Starr of Locked on Red Sox, Connor Newcomb of Locked on Orioles and Brice Paterik of Locked on Rangers to discuss how MLB managed to muck this up again, Justin Turner acting with no regard for human life, and booing Rob Manfred, because that's just an easy dunk.

Seriously, we all thought that about Aaron Loup right?

Game 2 of the World Series is in the books and A.J. Andrews shares her thoughts from watching the Rays' 6-4 victory over the Dodgers. She discusses Brandon Lowe finally hitting like the guy who was the bane of the Blue Jays this season, the true unsung hero in the Tampa Bay lineup, Aaron Loup pitching in the ninth inning, and what Los Angeles needs in order to get back into a rhythm in this series.
