Ben and Brent debate whether there’s any holes left in the Toronto Blue Jays roster following their deadline additions of Shane Bieber, Louis Varland, Seranthony Domínguez, and Ty France. They acknowledge that a right-handed threat at the plate and another bullpen arm would have took Ross Atkins’ deadline from good to great. The duo then break down the expectations for Shane Bieber in Toronto, and question whether exiting Blue Jays, Alan Roden and Will Wagner, will be missed. Later, the hosts are joined by Chris “Mad Dog” Russo (24:43), of Mad Dog Sports Radio on Sirius XM.

Ben and Brent open Friday's show reacting to the Toronto Blue Jays adding Shane Bieber, Louis Varland and Ty France before yesterday’s MLB Trade Deadline came to pass. They weigh the potential upside and risks that comes with acquiring Bieber, the 2020 Cy Young winner, from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for pitching prospect Khal Stephen. Then, they move onto Ross Atkins’ deal with the Minnesota Twins which saw reliever Louis Varland and first basemen Ty France head to Toronto, while sending back Alan Roden and Kendrys Rojas. The duo discusses what Varland brings to the bullpen, the importance of having him under control through 2030, and whether France’s track record makes him an enticing depth bat addition. Afterwards, B&B turn their attention to other moves made across MLB. They begin in the AL East, where the New York Yankees beefed up their bullpen with David Bednar and Camilo Doval, meanwhile the Boston Red Sox came up short in their pursuit of Twins ace Joe Ryan, one of few names that weren’t sold off by Minnesota. They conclude the hour touching on the San Diego Padres and General Manager A.J. Preller, who loaded up his roster with five deals involving 22 players.
