Blue Jays Talk

As the offseason continues, Davis Schneider (1:10) joins Daniele Franceschi and Sho Alli on Sportsnet Today to discuss the end of the 2025 season and to look towards 2026. They get into his leadoff home run to kickstart Game 5 of the World Series, how team chemistry was so special this past year, the departure of Bo Bichette, what it's like to play for John Schneider, and just what exactly 'nasty soup' is and how it came to be.

Blake Murphy and Kevin Barker are in for an offseason edition to react to Kyle Tucker signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets signing Bo Bichette, and what it means for the Blue Jays. They start with Bo and what the Jays' lineup will look like without their long-time shortstop and his fit at third base with the Mets. Then, they discuss where the Jays may turn for an impact bat, how aggressively they should approach Cody Bellinger's market, and whether adding to the bullpen is a higher priority at this point. Finally, Blake and Kevin look at Cardinals' infielder Brendan Donovan as a potential trade target, and where the Jays stand in an improved AL East if their offseason work is now complete.

Kyle Tucker has reportedly signed with the Dodgers for a four-year, $240-million deal - after going down to the wire (again) with LA, what does Toronto do next? Sho Alli and Daniele Franceschi debate whether or not the Jays truly missed out on the services of the four-time All-Star or if they dodged a bullet with the monster price tag. They also read listener texts (25:07) on what the next move should be for the Jays - is it time for a pivot to Cody Bellinger, or should the Jays more seriously consider bringing back Bo Bichette? Plus, MLB Network's Adnan Virk (39:43) stops by to discuss the mega-deal, weighs in on Bo vs. Bellinger, and chats the Dodgers' status as the new 'evil empire'.
