What have been the biggest surprises for this Jays team over the first 88 games? Who are the most important players? What about the injuries? Did injuries to Anthony Santander, Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho, in fact, allow the team to discover some diamonds in the rough that have made this lineup deeper and stronger? Griff and Mal discuss the Blue Jays' major need at the trade deadline and the state of the starting rotation, given the iffy status of Max Scherzer and the likelihood Eric Lauer will suffer some sort of lull later in the year. Will they add an arm? The '25 All-Star Game is almost at hand, and Vlad Guerrero Jr. has earned the starting nod at first base with Alejandro Kirk as the AL's second catcher. Does Vlad's season thus far warrant him being deserving starter? What should be the criteria for being an all-star? They discuss the MLB's biggest trade of the year and the lingering anger in Boston over Rafael Devers being dealt to the Giants.

Then, Jeff and Kevin discuss Alejandro Kirk's hot bat and revisit his performances since the increased workload.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Sho Alli and Julia Kreuz break down the Blue Jays' 6-3 loss to the Twins to wrap up the series in Minnesota. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the question atop everyone's mind: what do you do with Bowden Francis? With the team already running out a bullpen day every fifth turn through the rotation, can they afford to keep running Francis out there as well? What are the internal solutions? Plus, they discuss Alejandro Kirk continuing to hit well with two strikes, and Alan Roden getting an RBI single in a rare start since his return to the majors. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

After the Toronto Blue Jays completed a THUMPING of the Philadelphia Phillies, Justin and Patrick break down what went right in the series win. Alejandro Kirk and Ernie Clement can't stop hitting, the bullpen has been teriffic, and Chris Bassitt and Jose Berrios were excellent. The Jays are now firmly in the Wild Card race and head to Minnesota to play a Twins team who are one game ahead of them.

DeMarlo Hale, Athletics/Baseball Canada outfielder Denzel Clarke   This week in Deep Left Field, we sit down with DeMarlo Hale for his thoughts on the Blue Jays season so far. Hale thinks a season is best looked over after each third, so we look back at the first third and forward to what he thinks the team can accomplish over the next couple of months. We also introduce you to Denzel Clarke, a Pickering native who had his coming out party at Rogers Centre on the weekend. While the Jays were sweeping his A's in four straight games, Clarke belted his first big-league home run, had his first career multi-hit game and dazzled on defence, including going up and over the center field wall to take a home run away from Alejandro Kirk.
