Guest: Former Blue Jays CF Kevin Kiermaier This week, Kevin Kiermaier gives his final interview as a player, and he has come to Deep Left Field to give it to us!

He also reflects on his year and a half with the Blue Jays, what this season was like as the Jays sold off at the trade deadline, and how the Dodgers do things differently (and better) than they're done in Toronto.

Sho Alli breaks down the Blue Jays' 10-3 win over the Reds that earns them a series victory in Cincinnati! He takes your calls and texts, and gets right to the five innings of two-run (neither earned) ball from Hyun-jin Ryu. What does the future hold for the crafty lefty? Should he be re-signed to a short-term deal by the Jays even if the 2024 rotation is in theory already set? Plus, the offence showed up today! They got five home runs (Bichette, Springer, Kiermaier, Belt x 2) to make it a laugher - was this the optimal batting order? Plus, Sho gets to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. being removed with finger discomfort and Matt Chapman continuing to struggle at the plate. 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.
