Now in his second season as a big-league manager, 43-year-old Toronto Blue Jays skipper John Schneider joins the show for a wide-ranging 45-minute chat about family, the Delaware Blue Hens, his own minor-league journey as a player, the injuries that led him into coaching, Bo and Vladdy, last October’s postseason heartbreak against the Seattle Mariners, and much, much more!

Also joining the show for a 25-minute sitdown in his Arizona Diamondbacks uniform, former Toronto Blue Jays second baseman and fan favourite Orlando Hudson reflects on arriving in Canada 20 years ago and everything that’s transpired up until now. From four Gold Gloves to two all-star games to hitting for the cycle to retirement and coaching, O-Dog stays entertaining as aways. Enjoy the convo!

Joining The SMS for episode three is former Toronto Blue Jays first-round pick Travis Snider, who was taken 14th overall in 2006 and quickly became one of the best prospects in baseball over the next two years. A cautionary tale of not every career going the way it’s predicted to go, Snider ended up seeing MLB time in eight seasons, making $5.1 million and spending 15 years in professional baseball before officially retiring in 2022. Always open and honest, Snider, now 35, pulls back the curtain on why he didn’t meet expectations and all the lows and highs of his book-worthy career.————
