  • What’s the Bar for Bieber? + Top Contenders with Chris “Mad Dog” Russo
    Ben and Brent debate whether there’s any holes left in the Toronto Blue Jays roster following their deadline additions of Shane Bieber, Louis Varland, Seranthony Domínguez, and Ty France. They acknowledge that a right-handed threat at the plate and another bullpen arm would have took Ross Atkins’ deadline from good to great. The duo then break down the expectations for Shane Bieber in Toronto, and question whether exiting Blue Jays, Alan Roden and Will Wagner, will be missed. Later, the hosts are joined by Chris “Mad Dog” Russo (24:43), of Mad Dog Sports Radio on Sirius XM. Chris provides his perspective on the Jays’ additions relative to those made by the New York Yankees, compares the quality of contenders in the American League and National League, and highlights the New York Mets as a team set up for long term success.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.

  • Jays Bet on Bieber + Deadline Day Moves Across MLB
    Ben and Brent open Friday's show reacting to the Toronto Blue Jays adding Shane Bieber, Louis Varland and Ty France before yesterday’s MLB Trade Deadline came to pass. They weigh the potential upside and risks that comes with acquiring Bieber, the 2020 Cy Young winner, from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for pitching prospect Khal Stephen. Then, they move onto Ross Atkins’ deal with the Minnesota Twins which saw reliever Louis Varland and first basemen Ty France head to Toronto, while sending back Alan Roden and Kendrys Rojas. The duo discusses what Varland brings to the bullpen, the importance of having him under control through 2030, and whether France’s track record makes him an enticing depth bat addition. Afterwards, B&B turn their attention to other moves made across MLB. They begin in the AL East, where the New York Yankees beefed up their bullpen with David Bednar and Camilo Doval, meanwhile the Boston Red Sox came up short in their pursuit of Twins ace Joe Ryan, one of few names that weren’t sold off by Minnesota. They conclude the hour touching on the San Diego Padres and General Manager A.J. Preller, who loaded up his roster with five deals involving 22 players.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.

  • MLB Trade Deadline Day: What Will the Jays Do?
    Ben and Brent get back into Major League Baseball on trade deadline day with some expectations for the Blue Jays. The hosts ask how fans would reacts if Toronto's only move was adding Seranthony Domínguez. Does that undo any of the good will that the front office has built up this season? They debate if this is the season to go “all-in”, before taking a look at who the Jays could face in the postseason. Should that impact the decisions they’re making today? B&B also discuss the cutoff point in the standings this year between buyers and sellers. Sportsnet’s MLB insider, Shi Davidi (23:50), joins the guys to share his view on what the Blue Jays might do today, some specific targets they could have in their sights, and some under the radar moves that could make the difference.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.
