On Sunday, that sad fact became official as Turner signed with the Red Sox on a two-year deal.

We also talk about Martinez and the fact that he's probably an offensive upgrade over Turner, what it might mean for guys like Will Smith that the DH Day Off isn't an option anymore, and other implications of the Martinez signing.

It was a minor-league contract, and Jeff is here to explain what (if anything) we should read into it.

They discuss another superb outing from Ross Stripling, and get to the tune-up day for the bullpen after some time off. Plus, they take a look at a lot of the looming playoff roster decisions, including Bradley Zimmer vs. Jackie Bradley Jr., and whether or not both of Mitch White and Yusei Kikuchi could be left off entirely. 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.

The Toronto Blue Jays take two of three from the Chicago Cubs to stop the bleeding after a rough series against Los Angeles -- but is it enough?

Justin and Patrick return to discuss what was an eventful week and month for the Blue Jays. The team swept the Red Sox, got swept by the Angels, and took two of three against the Cubs. They still hold a playoff spot but it isn't comfortable. Bradley Zimmer is back and the guys try (not really) to find the reason why that is. It's going to be a difficult schedule for the team in September!

Blake Murphy is joined by MLB Network's Jon Morosi's to discuss if he's seen a regression in Vlad Jr.'s performance this season compared to last year's MVP-candidacy run, if the momentum has shifted onto the Mariners, Rays and Orioles within the AL standings, and what're the next steps in unionizing minor league players (5:55). MLB.com's Julia Kreuz stops by to chat about the vibe within the clubhouse following a sweep by the Angels, Teoscar Hernandez's lapses between the bases and on the field, Bradley Zimmer being reclaimed by the Jays, and if Julian Merryweather would be next to be called up back to the main roster (22:33). Then, ESPN's Joon Lee takes a deep dive on the MLBPA's efforts on unionizing minor leaguers, the negative history with how players have been treated, and the issues with the international draft (1:02:41).

The first day of the 2022 MLB Draft is done and after 80 picks and multiple hours. The Guardians have added three more college players to their system. We focus on what ended up being a shocking first-round Jackson Holiday at one. Kumar Rocker at three! Three college pitchers in the top ten after many thinking there would not be even one.  We focus on the top pick Chase DeLauter. A year ago at this time, people were watching him dominate the Cape. He looked like a potential top-five overall pick due to his performance with wood bats and his physical tools. There are reasons why people look at him and talk about Bradley Zimmer, but I explain why those aren't true. In a nutshell, the cape performance along with physical tools and a better approach should make him a better player with a legit chance he ends up being a five-tool talent.  Next up is Justin Campbell, who I successfully mocked to the Guardians. He is a big pitcher but doesn't pitch like one. His combination of command, control, flyball rate, and fastball spin made him a potential candidate at 16, when he was still there at 37 it made him a no doubt pick for the Guardians. Parker Messick made Chase DeLauter look so bad in February that it still affected people's views on him all these months later. He is an undersized lefty with stellar command and control. If the Guardians can help him add some velocity he should profile as another potential starting pitcher for the Guardians. Plus the system lacks left-handed pitchers in general which Messick helps alleviate.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

He discusses the bats coming to life in the tenth inning, including the game-winning RBI double from Teoscar Hernandez - has the managerial change given him a boost?

Plus, a discussion on the chaotic nature of the MLB playoffs, and how just making it in there might be all the Jays need. 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 breaks down the Blue Jays' 11-5 loss to the Rays, as Tampa sweeps the doubleheader at Rogers Centre. He takes your calls and texts, and discusses the idea of flipping the starts of Thomas Hatch and Kevin Gausman, and why the Jays may have been reticent to do that in the first place. He highlights some potential names to watch when the team goes shopping for bullpen help, gets into Hatch's start (12 hits and 10 earned runs), and discusses Bradley Zimmer who launched a home run for the first time at Rogers Centre. 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.

Cleveland Guardians drop Opening day to the Kansas City Royals 3-1. We talk about the three stars Steven Kwan, Myles Straw, and Shane Bieber. We also talk about the mess that was Amed Rosario. We even talked a little about Bobby Witt Jr., but not too much as Steven Kwan was the rookie who got Guardians fans attention.  Bradley Zimmer, the centerfielder of our hearts, was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher Anthony Castro. We talk about my failings when it comes to scouting. Why was it that I had him as a top 10 prospect in 2014 and now a player like him would not crack my top 50. I talk about how he does have value to a team that might not be set at centerfield. We also talk about Castro who the Blue Jays claimed on waivers a year ago.  We end by going through position by position to see which team I favor in the next three games. These two squads are close in talent, so listen in to see how I think the Guardians will do this weekend.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Happy Opening Day! Blair and Barker are live from Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays get set to take on the Texas Rangers, and are joined off the hop by Dan Shulman to chat about the atmosphere at the ballpark, how a crowd can impact play-by-play, Bo and Vlad Jr. being "young veterans", reasonable expectations for Alek Manoah, Danny Jansen and Cavan Biggio, the acquisition of Bradley Zimmer, how key a healthy George Springer and Jordan Romano will be to the team's success, how aggressive Charlie Montoyo might be, and how the Jays might use PitchCom (2:22).  Next, Rangers manager Chris Woodward stops by to discuss the makeup of his group after a busy offseason, if chemistry is an issue, what Corey Seager brings to the club, and his experiences so far with PitchCom (30:47).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 affiliate.

I present to the listening public my ideal Cleveland Guardians lineup based on players who could be potentially in the running still. I defend Steven Kwan hitting fifth in my lineup, go through each position explaining what else could occur, and defend why I made the choices I made. I also explain the value of Bradley Zimmer, while also explaining why I would prefer for him to be traded to another organization due to his perceived value in Cleveland against what I hear when I talk to others connected to teams or who write about the game.  We talk about the 40 man mess and the newest injuries that have occurred. With the moving of Cody Morris to the 60-day disabled list, there is no one for the Guardians to move around the next injury addition will mean a cut has to occur. We talk about the injuries to Luke Maile, James Karinchak, and others. We talk about the Teres Major, the muscle that is the Guardians' bane. We also get into why inactivity is not an option and why the Guardians need to be more like the Rays right now.  We look at payroll, there is different data on the payroll at every single site. We use the Fangraphs one which seems to have the best data. The Guardians rank an embarrassing 29 out of 30 teams, we get into why I think it is they ended up not spending at all in free agency. We also talk about what the hold-ups could be on any big moves for the organization. I also own up that I was wrong to preach patience as the season is drawing near and it is clear that this team is what it is.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

1. Bryan Shaw has had his long-expected and awaited return to the Cleveland Guardians. While he was relatively effective a year ago, we explain why he is likely to crater this year. I also explain why I hate moves like this for the Guardians. We also talk about who is going to need to be cut when Shaw makes this team and ends up getting the majority of the bullpen reps instead of young players. We also discuss the injury to Cody Morris and his general health issues.2. We talk about the lineup based on what MLB.com projected. We dig into why Josh Naylor seems likely to start the year in AAA. Naylor made his debut this week but seems unlikely to break camp with the team. Then we dig into why the Angels make sense as a trade partner in theory but lack the pieces to make a trade that makes sense.3. We continue to look at the MLB.com lineup projections to find interesting trades. We also discuss the Luke Maile injury. Then we dig into why Bradley Zimmer might make a ton of sense to a Marlins and the Phillies, but it is again hard to find an exact matchup.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

A very little touch on the CBA, before we shift our focus to Guardians draft picks still in the big leagues. We use the Baseball-Reference Draft Finder to look at who is still around professional baseball. We look at the classes and who is still playing from the draft classes from 2006 to 2018. We start by looking into classes while 2011 and 2016 might be the most famous, it turns out that it is the 2014 class headlined by Bradley Zimmer and Triston McKenzie which has the most players signed and drafted still in professional baseball. The least successful class is very clearly 2007 and only TJ McFarland saves it from being a bust  Now we dig into the players themselves, we talk about how money has been spent and where the Guardians have been successful. We look at the top players both signed and unsigned. The Guardians have eight active All-Stars who were draft picks can you name them all?  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Bradley Zimmer remains better than most people think, or I should say has more potential trade value than most Guardians fans think. I explain why it is that other writers often ask me about him in trades, and show the numbers that explain his perceived value. We continue our 2022 MLB Draft rankings with players 20,19,18. This group has one college hitter, one college arm, and a prep arm. I am higher on the college bat than most, the college arm I am in line with, and the prep arm I am lower than and I explain why.  More draft talk as we dig into players 17 and 16. Dylan Lesko is likely to be my most controversial ranking. I explain why a guy who is a near consensus top ten is 16 on my board despite looking like the best prep arm in the last few classes.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The non-tender deadline has passed. We focus on Taylor Clarke of the Diamondbacks and Richard Rodriguez of the Braves in the first segment. Both are pitchers with sparkling control, who very much could fit with the Indians and what they look for. I explain in depth why both could make sense for the Guardians. I also defend backup outfielder Bradley Zimmer and explain why he is still on the roster. Believe it or not, he has trade value due to elite defensive numbers and physical tools.  We go through the rest of the league but it is the Padres three arms Jose Castillo, Matt Strahm, and Trey Wingenter that stand out from the crowd. They have all had injury issues, but have all shown effectiveness in the big leagues and all have missed bats. Especially if they would consider a non roster invite to camp they would all be potential additions to a Guardians bullpen which might be the third biggest need on the team.  It was a busy day for old friends. Three former Guardians signed with new clubs, a pair with the Cubs who have Carter Hawkins formerly of the Guardians. Another was traded right before the non-tender deadline and I really wish the Guardians could have figured out how to have brought Joey Wendle home.
