Ruth Kapelus, board member and newsletter editor for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), joined Chrystal to discuss our neighbors to the north, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Here is what was discussed:

  • What's new with the Blue Jays?
  • With the AL up for grabs, can the Blue Jays snag a wild card spot?
  • Trade deadline moves
  • Rating the offseason
  • Anthony Santander didn't pull any offseason interest. Is that a bad omen?
  • Needing another starting pitcher who isn't 40 and injury-prone
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: the extension and concerns
  • All-Star Game picks
  • Pitching predictions
  • Will this series be even with no sign of power hitters?
  • Keys to taking the series
  • Fears heading into the series
  • The bullpens are being taxed, and starters are not going deep enough
  • Detroit domination
  • Paul Skenes needs run support, and perhaps a new team to thrive
  • Shohei Ohtani's return to the mound
  • Rafael Devers trade
  • Accessibility and marketing for players, blackout restrictions, cable and being priced out of baseball
