Blue Jays Talk

The MLB GM Meetings are well underway in Las Vegas, and with a lot of offseason shopping to be done, where do the Blue Jays stand with the biggest free agents?

Afterwards, Sho and Daniele discuss the prospects of bringing back Bo Bichette, and where the Jays could dabble with the free agent market for starting pitchers. Plus, John Schneider finished second in voting for AL Manager of the Year - was it a snub (31:19)?

A Crushing Game 7 Jays Loss Ends the 2025 MLB Season

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 3-1 loss to the Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series to force a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday night. They take your calls and texts, and get right to the bizarre ninth inning, which included a wedged ball in the outfield wall to stop play on what would have been a game-tying hit from Addison Barger, followed by the lineout double play that ended the game seconds later.
