Guests: Chicago Cubs pitchers Kevin Gausman and Trent Thornton; Blue Jays third baseman Josh Smith   This week in Deep Left Field we travel to the north side of Chicago to see Kevin Gausman in his new digs at venerable Wrigley Field.   The hope was to see Gausman square off against the team that traded him less than a week ago, but he felt that might be a bit too much.   Instead, we got what might be our last conversation with the right-hander for a while. He compares Wrigley to the Rogers Centre, reiterates his love for Toronto but also says how happy he is to be in a winning situation in Chicago.   We also speak to former Blue Jay and now Cubs pitcher Trent Thornton, who raves about his new team's acquisition of Gausman and looks back at his own Jays days, plus one of the new Jays acquired at the trade deadline, infielder Josh Smith, joins us to introduce himself to the masses.   All that, plus your Bluejays comments and questions in the mailbag at deepleftfield@the star.ca!

The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Blue Jays reshaped their roster. On game 113 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog break down every major trade, what they mean for Toronto's future, and whether Ross Atkins struck the right balance between selling now and building a contender for the next few seasons. Jose Soriano is the newest Blue Jay, Kevin Gausman and Daulton Varsho are gone, and Toronto adds multiple controllable pieces as the organization shifts its focus. We'll also discuss Max Scherzer's vintage outing, Dylan Cease being named AL Pitcher of the Month, and preview Shane Bieber's start against Christian Javier. Plus on today's show: ⚾ Why Soriano immediately slots near the top of Toronto's rotation. ⚾ Was trading top prospect Arjun Nimmala worth it? ⚾ Kevin Gausman dealt to the Cubs. ⚾ Daulton Varsho traded to Houston for Spencer Arrighetti. ⚾ Adam Macko dealt for Josh Smith & Josh Stephan. ⚾ Which trade helps the Blue Jays the most? With the deadline now behind them, did the Blue Jays improve their long-term outlook, or should they have taken a different approach?

The Blue Jays are making one final push. Toronto improved to 52-59 with a 5-1 win over the Cardinals, moving within 3.5 games of the final American League Wild Card spot. But with the trade deadline looming, every win raises the same question: Can the Blue Jays convince themselves to keep this group together? On game preview 112 of Flight Deck, Nick Alberga and Sierra Pileggi break down Kevin Gausman's emotional outing that may have been his final start as a Blue Jay, why Jeff Hoffman continues to boost his trade value, and whether Toronto should pivot from selling to adding controllable talent after another series win. We'll also dive into Max Scherzer's latest start, what to expect from Matthew Liberatore, and why the blockbuster Tarik Skubal trade could have a major impact on Toronto's deadline plans. Also on this episode: ⚾ Can the Blue Jays complete their third series sweep of the season? ⚾ Should Toronto buy, sell, or make a hybrid deadline move? ⚾ Potential trade targets if the Jays decide to add.

Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi break down the Blue Jays' 5-1 win vs. the Cardinals to win the series in Toronto! They take your calls and texts - after winning three straight games (and four of their last five) has the direction shifted from sell to buy, or is this win streak a mirage given the opponents in the fading Cardinals and Nationals? They discuss the play of the team's veterans, including George Springer, who continues to stay hot - what does the future hold for him? Plus, they discuss Kevin Gausman allowing one run over 5.2 IP in what could have been his final start as a Blue Jay - where does he stand in the all-time Jays starting pitchers rankings, and should the team sell, could he still be a Blue Jay going forward?   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.

Guest: Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman   With the Jays' season spiraling, seemingly out of control, losing seven of their last eight games to fall 10 games under .500, it seems inevitable that they will be sellers at the August 3 trade deadline.   Their most attractive commodity on the trade market is Kevin Gausman, and the five-year Blue Jay joins us for an honest, open and very emotional conversation as he deals with the potential that he has made his final start at home for the Jays.   You might want to grab a tissue or two, Gausman certainly could have used some.   As well, we take a deep dive into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca for your questions, comments and thoughts, including ones about the upcoming deadline, the Jays' uninspiring play of late, the role of the front office in the swoon and the tragic passing of Duane Ward.

Guests: Blue Jays World Series champions Tom Henke, Juan Guzman, Todd Stottlemyre In this special bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we take you to this past weekend's celebration of the Blue Jays 1992 and '93 World Series championship teams that culminated in the unveiling of a statue of Joe Carter in mid-leap after hitting the walk-off home run to win the '93 fall classic. This episode was supposed to be a happy one, catching up with a few Jays legends, but the tragic death of Duane Ward cast a pall over the weekend. We pay tribute to "Wardo," a great friend and iconic Blue Jay, and then share conversations from Saturday's media availability with pitchers Tom Henke, Juan Guzman and Todd Stottlemyre, who have five Jays World Series rings between them. Those conversations all took place before anyone knew that Ward had passed away.

Daniele Franceschi and Zack Bodenstein kick off Friday morning by celebrating the Toronto Blue Jays return of action tonight against the Chicago White Sox! They dive into the three major storylines they're watching closely in the second half, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s outlook heading down the stretch, the team's reliance on the bullpen, and how to get more length from the starters as the season progress. The guys also take a look at the statue of Joe Carter being unveiled on Sunday and ask which other Blue Jay would deserve a statue at Rogers Centre? After the break, the guys listen back to LeBron James' comments as he navigates his free agency and debate what factors are playing deciding roles that might not have earlier in his career. The guys question how long he will drag this out for and why is Adam Silver delaying the 2026-27 schedule release until LeBron decides.

Guests: Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman, Philadelphia Phillies reliever Tim Mayza This week in Deep Left Field, we look into the latest Blue Jays news from a 4-3 week, including the returns of Dylan Cease (good) and Max Scherzer (less good) from the injured list and speculate about how the Jays might handle the impending return of Alejandro Kirk, given that Brandon Valenzuela has emerged as one of the team's best hitters so far this season.

He joins us to talk about the first month of his seven years as a Blue Jay, how he feels he's performing, what he's seen from his new team and why he always looks over at third base before releasing the ball. Brandon Valenzuela has been a big-leaguer for just about a month now, and we check in with the rookie catcher to talk about the work he's doing in the batters' box, filling the shoes of Alejandro Kirk and just how much he likes the ABS system.

Breaking down Creighton's blowout loss to the UCONN Huskies.

It's that time of year: the Christmas Bird Count, when birders go out in flocks to record all the birds they see in a single day. The data collected during this annual tradition gets compiled by the National Audubon Society, and helps scientists understand bird population trends across the Americas. If you participate in the bird count, chances are you'll see a lot of the same birds you'd see any other day of the year—think sparrows, blue jays, blackbirds, cardinals. But that doesn't make them any less special. So this year we're turning our binoculars on a few (wrongfully) overlooked common birds.  Producer Kathleen Davis talks with two of our favorite birders, author and illustrator Rosemary Mosco, and conservation scientist Corina Newsome, to share some surprising facts about birds that don't often make it to the top of pecking order.Guests:Rosemary Mosco is an author, illustrator, and speaker whose work connects people with the natural world.Corina Newsome is a birder and conservation scientist at the National Wildlife Federation, based in Atlanta, Georgia.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
