Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeff Passan

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? On game 111 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Alberga breaks down another dominant outing from Dylan Cease, Louis Varland's perfect season in save opportunities, and whether George Springer is quietly playing himself into becoming one of the most intriguing trade targets on the market. 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.
