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

My computer has been about as effective as Reese McGuire...

A pair of Blue Jays earned the ire of the fans last night, and A.J. Andrews is all about channeling that energy to let your voices be heard! Reese McGuire already earned his ticket off the squad as Caleb Joseph is promoted from the taxi squad, but what about Derek Fisher? Many of you know what you want to do with the Jays outfielder and you get your say here!

Thanks to @myleshiggins, @TheRealTayls17, @ssalacup, @t_robinson43, @Daytime_Baller, @brightskies99, @KarenSoutar1, @bballobsessions, @thesmilinggoat, @pugganoche, @Robinegg_Amhers, @rochellestrauss, @JudgeGuire, @ultimateharold, @baseball_jan, @hanianton, @NoahYyz, @CheapSeats2, and @gotwgoty for sharing their thoughts!

This has been a stressful week...

Probably not as stressful as the four players the Blue Jays have acquired the past couple of weeks, but still. Computer issues suck. A.J. Andrews fights through them to give you her thoughts on how Taijuan Walker, Robbie Ray, Jonathan Villar and Ross Stripling are settling in with the team. There will be more content to come... I hope.

Nice to know I share similar shopping tastes to Ross Atkins...

The Blue Jays were arguably the busiest American League team at the deadline, with three more deals on the final day of dealing. So what do Robbie Ray, Jonathan Villar and Ross Stripling bring to Toronto/Buffalo? Well, there has to be more than acquiring the National League leaders in walks allowed, times caught stealing and home runs allowed respectively, right? Spoiler: there is. A.J. Andrews breaks down how all three trades fit into the Blue Jays' 2020 strategy, what the costs mean, and how they help Toronto reach their desired heights this year.

In the wake of the athlete protests that dominated the sports discussion this past week, A.J. Andrews invites Outsports contributor and The Trans Sporter Room co-host Karleigh Chardonnay Webb onto the program to converse about the various ramifications to come from the strikes, how baseball has fallen behind other sports as a catalyst for social change, and where the sport can go from here. A.J. even forgives Karleigh for being a Royals fan!

Taijuan Walker is awesome.

Seriously, we are here to praise Taijuan Walker and everything he means to the 2020 Blue Jays. A.J. Andrews discusses how this is exactly the kind of move the team should be making, what their plans should be at the deadline in regards to Andrelton Simmons, Lance Lynn and others. Plus, live reaction to the ninth inning of today's game against the Orioles!

Earlier this week, seven Locked on MLB podcast hosts came together in the wake of the protests that rocked the sport and had a frank conversation about the topics of race, the power of athletes and the power of sport to affect social change. It is a long conversation, but it's the type of conversation that needs to be had in this day and age. This podcast was initially broadcast on the Locked on Red Sox channel.

The participants: Gabrielle - @gfstarr1 - @LO_RedSox / Javier Reyes - @Javiipeno - @LO_Padres / A.J. Andrews - @A_J_Andrews - @LockedOnJays / Jeff - @JeffMLBdraft - @LockedOnIndians / Jason Burke - @byjasonb - @LockedOnAs / Josh Neighbors - @JoshNeighbors_ - @LO_Nationals / Lucas Smith - @ljfastball - @LO_Cardinals

Seriously. No more Wilmer Font please.

With the Blue Jays in playoff contention for the first time since 2016, naturally trade rumors are going to swirl. A.J. Andrews peers into the fog and links a pair of reports that could result in a megadeal between Toronto and Pittsburgh that goes well beyond sharing a stadium. Also, she discusses Toronto's 9-6 loss to Boston, because she has to. However, there was one bright spot in her eyes, and that spot was Travis Bergen. What can he bring to the table for the rest off the season?

This is not the acquisition I was expecting...

The Blue Jays have acquired... a lefty first-baseman DH type with power and trouble getting on base... don't they have one of those? A.J. Andrews breaks down why the team paid pennies on the dollar for 2019 All-Star Daniel Vogelbach with Rowdy Tellez sitting right there on their bench. She also discusses why Thomas Pannone was an easy DFA candidate to make room for Travis Bergen on the 40-man roster, and she celebrates a victory over Tampa Bay... or maybe just the fact that they hopefully won't have to see Tropicana Field until next year!

Ah, now this is a mood with the Blue Jays that is far more familiar...

A.J. Andrews makes her long-awaited tribute to Anthony Alford, who was DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Thursday. She runs over Alford's MLB tenure with the team and determines how the can't-miss prospect just flat out missed. But there is another reason that Alford ran out of the time with Toronto, and it is a reason that grew more evident in another pair of weekend losses to Tampa Bay. The host vents about this reason.

Seriously, what to we do? I'm still wondering.

After battling her computer to get episodes out, A.J. Andrews is finally delivering another Fan Edition of the podcast on the weekend! She goes over the results of the poll asking fans what they think the Blue Jays should do at the deadline, and talks about your thoughts on the matter! She then discuss the report from Steve Adams of MLBTR in regards to the Blue Jays hunt for starting pitching! Plus Brock Holt love!
