*EXTREME WINGS-ERA PAUL McCARTNEY VOICE* Jeff! OooOooOoo OO ooOOoo! Jeff!Yes, that's right. I said Jeff. As in Jeff Passan of ESPN, who is as credible as they come, and who this week left open all the possibilities for an incredible winter, telling us that the Jays “want a left-handed complement to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.,” that they have “no plans to slow down,” that “they are considered the favourite by other executives to land (Kyle) Tucker,” and that they “still could conceivably sign Tucker and (Bo) Bichette."So in this episode we talk all about it, and about the Jays possibly seizing the moment to truly try to become a perennial big-money contender.Plus!: Qualifying offers, Nick Sandlin (and Andres Gimenez), Ricky Tiedemann, the team we'd least like to see Bo end up with, and more!

The broadcasters from the Buffalo Bisons, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and Vancouver Canadians look back at the 2024 season in the Blue Jays minor league system. Pat Malacaro (triple-A Buffalo) leads off with host Tyler Zickel (high-A Vancouver) to talk about a Bisons season that did not turn out as expected, with the likes of Leo Jimenez and Addison Barger spending a lot of time in Toronto with the big league team, Orelvis Martinez serving a big part of the season on suspension, and pitchers Ricky Tiedemann and Chad Dallas finding themselves on the injured list. This forced the Bisons to adopt the "next-man-up mentality", exemplified by Alan Roden who struggled after being promoted from double-A before finishing very strong. Andrew Bash and Paxton Schultz solidified the Bisons' pitching, Will Robertson had a strong finish to a good bounceback year, and Payton Henry became a hero coming back from a horrific head injury, hearing loss, and the death of his brother. The 20th season of Fisher Cats baseball did not turn out the way the team wanted; however, Chris Jared and Bob Lipman (double-A New Hampshire) are excited about the return of some of the team and players coming up from Vancouver in 2025. Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich were noted as having made a huge impact at the level before their promotions to Buffalo, RJ Schreck, Charles McAdoo, and Yohendrick Pinango were fun to watch after their acquisitions at the trade deadline, former water polo player Johnathan Lavallee just shoved for the team down the stretch, and Eric Pardinho, who has lost the top-prospect shine, was a dominant reliever at double-A. Tyler and broadcasting partner Chris Georges (high-A Vancouver) were sad to see the Canadians' season ending with a walkoff hit-by-pitch in the Northwest League Championship, but they were proud to see the team keeping the series with the Spokane Indians relatively close given that Vancouver was 8-20 against that team during the regular season. Jace Bohrofen took a couple of months to adjust to professional baseball, but then blew up in the second half, including August in which he OPSed 1.055. After being signed out of independent baseball, Je'Von Ward made a big impact both at the plate and in the outfield for the C's, Jackson Hornung continued to hit all year despite his transition from catcher to first base to outfield, and Peyton Williams may have been too good for high-A. On the mound, Kendry Rojas and Lazaro Estrada were spicy punches, and Ryan Jennings' stuff and dumpster were things to behold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ben and Carlos hop on the show to primarily break down the big movers on our first in-season Top 100 MLB Prospects update of the 2024 season. Before jumping into that, the two marvel at Georgia slugger Charlie Condon's continued home run pace and wonder whether or not teams should start giving him the Barry Bonds treatment—if not, will he get to the 40-homer mark?Carlos asks Ben about this year's Top 100 update process and the challenges of that so early in the season and the two then get into some of the big movers, including two pitchers trending down: Blue Jays lefthander Ricky Tiedemann and Padres righthander Dylan Lesko. Next, the two talk about a few up-arrow pitchers who are doing big things at the big league level, including Mets righthander Christian Scott and Pirates righthander Jared Jones. That leads to a discussion about the Pirates farm system depth with arms and pitching strategy in general, as well as a bit more talk about Paul Skenes.Next, they get into a few more hitters who are on the rise or showing productive seasons so far in 2024 including: Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing, Mariners outfielder Lazaro Montes and A's shortstop Jacob Wilson. That turns into a conversation about the Padres-Marlins Luis Arraez trade and the two disagree over whether or not the package was a compelling return for a player like Arraez.Finally, talk turns to power-hitting top prospects Junior Caminero, James Wood and Dylan Crews and how they're viewing each of the three and why they aren't too worried about Woods' current lack of home run production. The show closes with a mailbag segment, which includes questions about a Rays international prospect with size and power, a draft signing bonus logistics question, the differences between command and control and a question about lefthanders in the 2025 draft class.–Time Stamps(1:30) Charlie Condon(6:45) New Top 100 update(10:40) Ricky Tiedemann and Dylan Lesko(16:30) Christian Scott(20:30) Jared Jones(25:00) Pirates pitching strategy(34:00) Dalton Rushing(39:00) Lazaro Montes(46:00) Jacob Wilson(52:00) Luis Arraez Trade(1:06:00) Junior Caminero, James Wood & Dylan Crews(1:16:00) Mailbag–Do you have a question you want us to answer?

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3, snapping the Phillies' 11-game home winning streak. This was a more typical Toronto Blue Jays game, having great starting pitching, just enough offense to keep them ahead, and a solid performance from the bullpen. Chris Bassitt had a huge bounceback game, getting swings on pitches outside of the strike zone, resulting in a ton of weak contact. Vladimir Guerrero Jr had a good day, hitting balls hard and going 3-5. The Blue Jays played some small ball in the 8th, taking advantage of hit and runs and some tough at-bats that resulted in hits. Jordan Romano did his best to try and blow the game for the Blue Jays but ended up getting a save and closing out the game for the Blue Jays. In this episode, we break down individual player performances, highlight plays, and give some sneak peeks regarding future episodes and video ideas your hosts are looking to bring you in the future.

The Toronto Blue Jays lose another game, this one being against the Philadelphia Phillies 10-1. Jose Berrios got picked apart today, giving up eight runs in his first blow-up outing of the season. The offense continues to be subpar, only manufacturing one run in the game, while allowing the Phillies starting pitcher Christopher Sanchez to breeze through 7 innings. John Schneider got kicked out in today's game after a botched call by the third base umpire allowed Kyle Schwarber to reach base when he should have struck out. Ultimately, this led to Bryce Harper launching a grand slam into the right field seats. Overall, there is not a lot of positives to take from this game. WE NEED CHANGE.

It is clear the Toronto Blue Jays offense has been subpar so far this season. As many fans have realized, the current Blue Jays batting order is not getting the job done. John Schneider's huge line-up shuffle consisted of swapping Daulton Varsho and Bo Bichette in the batting order while keeping George Springer leading off. We have decided to help John Schneider out with his decisions by making our batting orders to jumpstart this offense. Do you agree with our batting order? The Blue Jays pitching staff has had a roller coaster start to the 2024 season. With a plethora of injuries and abysmal pitching performances, we decided to break down a few members of this pitching staff, going over the good, the bad, and the ugly. How are you feeling about this Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff? Aaron Sanchez has returned to the Toronto Blue Jays on a minor-league deal. It seems like Ross Atkins has a new plan of attack for this team, trying to capture some 2015 magic for the 2024 Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays have a two-game series set against the Philadelphia Phillies, hoping to get back in the win column.

Where do we go from here? The Toronto Blue Jays lose the series 2-1 to the Washington Nationals. This was undoubtedly the worst series of the year. The Blue Jays only scored three runs against the worst pitcher in all of baseball, Patrick Corbin. While Yusei Kikuchi was dialed in, going 6 innings strong of one-run ball, the bullpen found a way to throw away the game. In game 2, the Washington Nationals tried their hardest to give the Blue Jays a million runs in the first inning, but the Blue Jays settled for 4. Jordan Romano had a classic Jordan Romano start, leaving people on the edge of their seats by bringing the tying run to the plate, but inevitably getting out of the jam. In game 3, Alek Manoah took the mound for the first time in the 2024 season. With the Blue Jays scoring 8 runs in the game, and the Washington Nationals again trying their hardest to help the Toronto Blue Jays offense, you would think they would come out with a victory. In this episode, we break down the Nationals series, giving our perspectives on what the Blue Jays did and did not do well during these three baseball games. With one of the craziest series of the year, there is a TON to talk about. We break it all down on this episode of Locked on Blue Jays.

Locked On Blue Jays - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Blue Jays
Ross Atkins is in his 9th season as the General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Under Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays have failed to win a playoff game since 2016, when Ross inherited a World Series contending team from Tony Lacavo, but really it was Alex Anthopoulos who built this team from the ground up. Ross Atkins has made some great trades in the past, but it has not led to success for the Toronto Blue Jays organization. This season, he went full out on pitching and defense to limit as many runs as possible. So far, his plan has not panned out. We break down some of Ross Atkin's biggest transactions with the Toronto Blue Jays, the team's success under his tenure, and what we can expect from the Toronto Blue Jays and Atkins for the rest of the season. We also break down the National series pitching matchups and what we expect from the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. What do you think should be done with Ross Atkins? Who is to blame for the Blue Jays struggles? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

Ben and Carlos talk about the new draft rankings at Baseball America and briefly touch on the state of the class and how the group is shaping up. Ben brings up the idea of pick trading once again and how that would impact Carlos's ability to create mock drafts. Ben also talks about how it would be interesting to see teams able to trade domestic draft picks for international draft picks if that is ever implemented—the more freedom for teams to build rosters the better.Then the two touch on a number of minor league prospects off to hot starts this season including: White Sox lefthander Noah Schultz, Rockies righthander Chase Dollander, Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw, Royals catcher Blake Mitchell and Twins outfielder Emmanuel Rodriguez. After that the two switch gears and talk about some prospects whose starts to the season could be more concerning. Those players include: Yankees shortstop Roderick Arias, Rangers shortstop Sebastian Walcott, Mariners catcher Harry Ford, Blue Jays lefthander Ricky Tiedemann, Padres righthander Dylan Lesko and Braves righthander Hurston Waldrep. In that conversation the two also wonder about the merits of prospect demotions and whether or not they could be beneficial for player development. Ben has a sleeper righthander to know in the Brewers system, righthander Bishop Letson, and the two talk about his remarkable jump in stuff within just a year of being drafted in the 11th round. That leads to a conversation about teams investing in raw, projectable prospects who take more time to develop and whether or not that sort of player is less common with a 20-round draft and smaller minor league system.Ben picks Carlos's brain on the players who could be available for the teams picking outside the top eight range, and how likely or unlikely it is for one of the “big 8” to slip further down the board. What are potential draft scenarios for the Pirates, Nationals, Tigers and Red Sox? The two talk about pitcher attrition and whether or not that makes teams more or less likely to draft pitching prospects in the first place and then get into a listener question about academies in Latin America lying about prospect ages. –Time Stamps(0:00) New draft rankings(13:00) Pick trading(18:00) International draft trading(21:00) Noah Schultz(23:00) Chase Dollander(27:00) Matt Shaw(29:30) Blake Mitchell (34:00) Emmanuel Rodriguez(40:00) Roderick Arias(45:30) Sebastian Walcott(49:00) Thoughts on promotions and demotions(52:00) Harry Ford(57:00) Ricky Tiedemann(1:03:00) Dylan Lesko(1:08:00) Hurston Waldrep (1:13:40) Bishop Letson(1:19:00) Teams investing in “raw” players(1:23:00) Pirates options at No. 9(1:33:00) Can anyone slide out of the top eight?(1:37:00) FSU outfielder James Tibbs(1:39:00) Are the Red Sox in no man's land at 12?(1:46:00) Pitcher attrition and how that impacts decisions to draft arms(1:52:00) What happens when academies lie about player ages?–Do you have a question you want us to answer?

Ben and Carlos spend most of the episode getting into the weeds on our recently released 2024 Top 100 Prospects list. Before that conversation starts, Ben breaks down his January 15 experience and how it compared to previous years.Padres prospect Leodalis De Vries serves as the bridge from international signing day to our Top 100, as the lone member of the 2024 class to land on the list. What makes him deserving and why is this a profile to get excited about? Ben tells you all you need to know.After that, the two break down the top of the list, talk about their various tier breaks, agree on philosophies about pitching prospects and injury risk and then talk about how they would line up the top pitching prospects in the game. The two then talk through the players they are higher or lower on than the Top 100 itself, including names like Andrew Painter, Robby Snelling, Ricky Tiedemann, Adael Amador, Dylan Lesko, Noah Schultz, Colt Emerson, Michael Busch, Bryce Eldridge, Jacob Wilson, Nick Frasso, Gavin Stone, Brayden Taylor, Ceddanne Rafaela, Chase Petty and more.The two have a slight disagreement on 2023 arms Rhett Lowder and Chase Dollander, then think about some of the players who might be poised to shoot up this list in the future.The show ends with a listener email about where Braves righthander AJ Smith-Shawver might rank if he was part of the 2024 draft class.–Do you have a question you want us to answer?
