Blue Jays Talk

Sho Alli hosts a special offseason edition of Jays Talk to chat about the Toronto Blue Jays acquiring second baseman Andrés Giménez and reliever Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz (ultimately ending up with the Pittsburgh Pirates) and minor-league outfielder Nick Mitchell before bringing on Jays' contributor Nick Ashbourne (4:36) to share his thoughts on the trade, how this affects Bo Bichette's future at shortstop, how Horwitz fits as the Pirates' potential first basemen of the future, and the next steps for Vladdy's contract. Then, Chris Rose (26:22) shares the scouting report on Giménez, what was behind the down trend in his offence since his All-Star nod back in 2022, how Bally Sports cutting ties to broadcast Guardians games affects the team's offseason, and a look at Toronto's uncertain future ahead.

What's Next for Vladdy Jr. + Sasaki Sweepstakes ft. Jeff Blair

Daniele Franceschi and Sho Alli return with a special edition of Jays Talk after Anthony Santander reportedly signs a five-year, $92.5 million deal. The guys start with their initial reactions to the deal, discuss the inclusion of deferred money and an opt-out, and consider if this move eases the pain of missing out on Rōki Sasaki. They also take your calls and texts, and discuss the possibilities of the Jays continuing to pursue additional free agents remaining in the market after today's move, including Pete Alonso - could he come to Toronto next? Plus, they chat about the report that Bo Bichette recently made the trip north to try and persuade Sasaki to sign - despite the result, does that bode well for Bo's future with the club?

Santander Headed North + Next Moves

The Blue Jays make another addition, signing pitcher Max Scherzer in free agency to a one-year, $15.5 million deal, pending a physical. Sho Alli takes your calls and texts, and asks what letter grade the Jays now deserve following a relatively busy offseason - how high can that grade get without a second bat, or without a big extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? Sportsnet's Nick Ashbourne (12:18) stops by to discuss the Scherzer signing - what's the threshold for success with the 40-year-old future Hall of Famer, and what does this do for Yariel Rodríguez in a potential move to the bullpen? Afterwards, Sho chats with MLB.com's Kennedi Landry (29:44), who covered Scherzer during his Rangers tenure - what kind of teammate is he, and how can it rub off on others? Plus, Sho gets into the latest news in the Pete Alonso sweepstakes - will he head north of the border to Toronto, or will he head back to Citi Field in Queens?
