With Spring Training games around the corner, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are back to their daily schedule! They start with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s comments about being 'happier' this season, whether the Jays are better this year than last year — even without Bo Bichette, and where the Jays stand in a much-improved American League.

Later, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (32:02) stops by to discuss what Tony Clark's recent resignation as MLBPA executive director means for upcoming MLB CBA talks and why players should be concerned about an impending lockout.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.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Tuesday by celebrating the return of Blue Jays baseball as workouts begin.

Later, Ben and Brent chat about the Devils' viral social media mishap after a botched crop tried to edit Quinn Hughes out of a Team USA photo. Later, they pivot to baseball with Red Sox fan anger as another ripple of the Rafael Devers fallout lands, before turning to Blue Jays camp with pitchers and catchers arriving and a new lineup identity around Vladimir Guerrero Jr. without Bo Bichette.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.

Guest: Former Blue Jays all-star slugger Justin Smoak This week in Deep Left Field, we find out about the Blue Jays' new free-agent acquisition, Kazuma Okamoto, from someone who played with him. Justin Smoak, a five-year Jay and an all-star in 2017, when he hit 38 home runs, played his final professional season in Japan in 2021 as a teammate of Okamoto's, and joins us to give his up-close-and-personal scouting report on the Jays' $60 million (US) man, as well as some memories of playing with 20-year-old Vladimir Guerrero Jr. You'll also hear highlights of Okamoto's introductory news conference, where the six-time Japanese all-star talked about what brought him to Toronto and how he expects to contribute and also showed off his sneaky sense of humour.

The 2025-26 MLB offseason is in full swing, and the action since mid-December has been nonstop! We're covering every major signing, trade, and rumor that's reshaping rosters ahead of Spring Training. Japanese aces and sluggers are making big splashes stateside: right-hander Tatsuya Imai inks a 3-year, $54M deal with the Houston Astros to bolster their rotation alongside Hunter Brown, while power-hitting first baseman Kazuma Okamoto signs a 4-year, $60M contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, adding serious thump to a lineup already featuring Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Reliever Pete Fairbanks cashes in with a 1-year, $13M pillow contract with the Miami Marlins as he looks to rebound and hit free agency again next winter. On the trade front, the deals are flying: the Tampa Bay Rays send second baseman Brandon Lowe to the Pittsburgh Pirates for prospects, giving the Bucs a much-needed lefty bat. The Rays continue their reload by shipping young starter Shane Baz to the Baltimore Orioles in a separate move. In one of the biggest shocks, the St. Louis Cardinals trade veteran catcher Willson Contreras to the Boston Red Sox, instantly upgrading Boston's offense behind the plate.

It was only just 365 days ago that Jays fans were despairing, wondering why Ross Atkins still had a job after a nine year tenure that had culminated in a dreadful 2024, still smarting from Juan Soto's decision to sign with the Mets, trying to understand the Andrés Giménez acquisition, questioning whether Vladimir Guerrero Jr. could be signed to a contract extension, and feeling nothing but dread about the future, the state of the club's house of cards, and the wisdom of those in charge.Today they're viewed by players, fans, and the industry as a whole as one of the truly exemplary organizations in the sport, and potentially on the verge of ascending to marquee franchise status, having put together a brilliant, compelling, gritty, drama-filled, fun-as-hell campaign that took them to within mere milimetres of an unprobable World Series victory.It's been a hell of a trip around the sun, hasn't it?And this week we're looking back on all of it—from the low expectations, through the ugly start, to the coalescing of an elite team, to one of the all-time great—and all-time heartbreaking—seasons in the history of Canadian sports. Or maybe anybody's sports anywhere.Have a listen... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 2025 Major League Baseball season was one of the most memorable in recent history.
