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.

The Blue Jays are making one final push. Toronto improved to 51-59 with a 3-1 win over the Cardinals, moving within 4.5 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?

We'll also discuss Kevin Gausman's future with the organization. Could tonight's start be his last in a Blue Jays uniform? Where does he rank among the greatest starting pitchers in franchise history? And what would it mean if Toronto decided to move one of the faces of its rotation? Also on today's show: ⚾ Dylan Cease continues his Cy Young-calibre season ⚾ George Springer's recent surge and why contenders could be calling ⚾ Jeff Passan's latest report on Toronto's trade deadline plans With the deadline just around the corner, this could be one of the biggest weekends of the Blue Jays' season.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 10-0 win vs. the Giants to wrap up a series win in San Francisco! They take your calls and texts, and get right to Dylan Cease carrying a no-hit bid into the ninth inning - with 11 strikeouts on a career-high 118 pitches, just how dominant was Cease in this one? With the pitch count rising early, was it a tough decision for John Schneider to let him pitch until he gave up a hit? They also get into the offence knocking in 10 runs, including an early grand slam for Kazuma Okamoto, and late home runs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (!) and George Springer - is the new stuffed dragon responsible? Plus, we hear from Dylan Cease himself via his post-game availability.   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 New York Yankees rotation took a massive hit as left-hander Carlos Rodón was placed on the injured list with severe elbow inflammation, projecting an absence that will stretch into mid-August. Corey Pieper breaks down a devastating AL East injury timeline, shifting league discipline, crucial backend bullpen targets, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction wire is hyperactive heading into the All-Star break as Cade Cavalli's suspension has officially been reduced to 5 games on appeal, allowing him to begin serving his time immediately. Meanwhile, Patrick Sandoval has been fully reinstated from the injured list, and George Springer has returned to the team from family medical leave, though he remained out of the starting lineup in his first game back. Roster managers must track a highly volatile day of performances that featured Tyler Tolbert exploding for a perfect 5-for-5 game with a home run, while modern juggernauts Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson continued their steady power surges, alongside dynamic offensive showings from James Wood, Curtis Mead, CJ Abrams, Jose Caballero, Juan Soto, and Heliot Ramos. On the mound, Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful 8-inning, 8-strikeout gem, Landen Roupp turned in an 8-inning showcase of his own, and Brandon Pfaadt tossed 5 scoreless frames. Conversely, it was a historical implosion for frontline starters: Cristopher Sanchez collapsed for 9 earned runs in just 3.1 innings, Mike Burrows surrendered 10 total runs, and veteran arms Kevin Gausman and Walker Buehler were hammered for a combined 11 earned runs. Offensively, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Jonathan Aranda bottomed out with matching, empty 0-for-4, 3-strikeout nights. The Bullpen Report provides essential waiver-wire clarity, highlighting Tyler Wells ramping up in Baltimore, Jacob Webb securing the most recent save for the Cubs, and Emilio Pagan making his return to Cincinnati. We also review a rough outing for Raisel Iglesias and why Yankees high-leverage option Luke Weaver needs to be universally owned right now.

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker begin their Friday edition discussing the Blue Jays' upcoming road series against the Seattle Mariners, game plans for Dylan Cease and attacking Luis Castillo, George Springer's playing time vs. Sean Keys, and the need for a successful outing from Shane Bieber. Then, Blue Jays manager John Schneider stops by (27:00) to share some updates on Anthony Santander and Max Scherzer, whether Nathan Lukes has a case to remain on the top of the order when Springer returns, Vlad Jr.'s double during Canada Day, how Cease can go deeper into games starting against the Mariners, Bieber controlling his walks, and why Keys' swing has been working at the Major League level.  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.

Ahead of the Blue Jays series-opener in Seattle, Mariners play-by-play voice Aaron Goldsmith (0:58) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker. They discuss the Mariners' frustrating season so far, what's behind Cal Raleigh's regression, their power-centric offensive approach, the rotation's 'piggy-back' drama, and what they'll be targeting at the trade deadline. Then, Jeff and Kevin look at the American League landscape at the midway point and the lingering impacts of the WBC on players like Raleigh and Vladdy. Finally, Sportsnet's Dan Shulman (30:28) stops by to discuss Vladdy's exhaustive batting cage routine, whether he should skip the All-Star game, and the case for Nathan Lukes to hit lead-off when George Springer returns.

Cal Raleigh said the M's need to keep their foot on the gas late in games after their frustrating loss Sunday and they did just that last night. Then, we dig into a trade idea brought up by Brent Stecker on SeattleSports.com. Plus, Charlie Furbush crowns this week's Trash Takes winner.

We start with Aaron Glenn topping the NFL head coach hot seat list on CBS Sports, the Geno Smith situation, and whether Mitchell Robinson will stay with the Knicks next season. Next, C-Lo delivers his final update of the day featuring George Springer's little league home run against the Mets, followed by Adam Schein breaking down the Yankees getting swept in Fenway, and a caller advising Joe Benigno to take Advil for back pain. Finally, we discuss whether the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding will be filmed for Netflix, share a Moment of the Day about why criticizing Boomer is an embarrassment to womanhood, and close with the Knicks pulling the OG Anunoby tip-in ball from auction so they can keep it.

C-Lo starts with George Springer's ‘little league HR' in the first against the Mets. The Mets have lost 9-of-10. The Yankees lost their fifth straight and have been terrible offensively.

We start with Landry Shamet re-signing with the Knicks and Mitchell Robinson likely leaving for more money, followed by LeBron trying to go to the Warriors, a move Gio thinks is pathetic. C-Lo is in for Jerry with his first update, starting with George Springer's ‘little league HR' against the Mets—who have now lost 9-of-10—and the Yankees losing their fifth straight during an offensive slump. Finally, we look at Ja Morant being traded to the Trailblazers and Josh Hart becoming eligible for an extension right now.
