A Special Jays Year Ends in Heartbreak + Incoming Offseason Plans
On a special Monday afternoon edition of Jays Talk, Sho Alli takes a final look back at Game 7 of the World Series, and takes your texts on the ending for the 2025 Blue Jays. He chats with Daniele Franceschi (6:02), Jesse Rubinoff (27:24), Zach Worden (52:33), and Ian Harrison (1:19:21) to get their thoughts on the final game of the season, and to look ahead at what's next. They get into the future of Bo Bichette, whether or not Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Chris Bassitt (among others) will return, and what the starting rotation could look like in 2026, including specific free agents that could make an impact in Toronto. Plus, if there is a lockout looming in 2027, could the Jays spend more cash this coming offseason with the future of the sport a little more uncertain than usual? 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.

An Abrupt Ending Forces Game 7 in Toronto
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. Had they ever seen the the wedged ball happen at the Rogers Centre, and how much blame does Barger deserve in that situation? They also get into the game at-large, including the missed opportunities against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the start from Kevin Gausman, the performance of the bullpen, and whether or not the team will be able to bounce back for Game 7 in such a short amount of time. 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.
