Blue Jays Happy Hour ·

2023/03/10

Not a whole lot of consequence has happened over the last week of Toronto Blue Jays spring training baseball — which is exactly what you want at this time of year! No major injuries (Vlad’s fine, he doesn’t count). No big controversies (you can talk about Nathan Lukes getting called out on a pitch clock violation all you want; we didn’t). No performances either so sublimely good or disgustingly bad as to warrant mention in more than just passing.No real change to the major storylines in camp,

Spring storylines are starting to develop around Blue Jays camp down in Dunedin, Florida, among them a possible Yusei Kikuchi redemption tour. Is it time to get excited about last year’s failed fifth starter? What does the addition of former Houston Astros GM James Click mean for the Blue Jays’ front office? Has Ricky Tiedemann already started pushing up his timeline?Plus! We rate and review giveaway highlights from the Jays’ recently-announced promotional schedule, discuss the new “hot dog porch”

A lot has happened since Nick Ashbourne and I last talked about the Blue Jays way back in October. The team's outfield defence has been remade, they've signed a couple high-profile injury-prone position players, the walls at the Rogers Centre have been transformed, Danny Jansen got jacked, etc.This week we're talking about all that, plus spring storylines, our attempts at choosing the over-under on the Jays' win total for 2023, and so much more in the mighty return of the "classic" format of Blue

The Blue Jays’ spring training continues to roll along — though hopefully not at 82 mph in a 45 zone — and this week we talk about a whole whack of goings on, including the nasty piece of business to which I am referring (which happened after we last recorded), but mostly baseball things. Things like Dexter Fowler, the Jays’ depth, the catching situation, the announcement of José Berrí6s as the club’s Opening Day starter, and more!Have a listen!*Please note: There’s a little bit of static on Nick’s

The Blue Jays have a new left-handed hitting outfielder, and it’s not Brett Gardner! Better still, they’ve traded Randal Grichuk in order to make it happen. Ramel Tapia may not be the most exciting addition in the world, but they could have done worse! And on this week’s Blue Jays Happy Hour we talked about that, the Bichette/Manoah contract flap, Adrian Pinto, and more!Have a listen!• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blue-jays-happy-hour/id1564979331•

I may have slept through Tuesday morning’s big news about the Blue Jays trading for A’s third baseman Matt Chapman, but I was at least able to get myself up in time for an emergency podcast on the subject! The Blue Jays now employ one of the best defensive third baseman in the world! And all it took was sending RHP Gunnar Hoglund (2021 first round pick/found money), INF Kevin Smith (meh), LHP Zach Logue (nice guy!), and LHP Kirby Snead (probably a nice guy but meh!) to Oakland to make it happen

Baseball is back! And while the much-promised frenzy of transactions hasn’t quite materialized as yet, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a whole lot to talk about as the game returns to normal and gears up for a full 162-game season. So, on this week’s episode of Blue Jays Happy Hour we did just that, sharing our impressions of the new CBA deal, rule changes, expanded playoffs, a balanced schedule, the vaccination clause, and so much more.Have a listen!• Apple

With a lockout looming, transactions throughout MLB have accelerated at a rapid pace here early in the week, including the Jays signing Kevin Gausman to a five-year, $110 million contract. The Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners have scooped up now-former Jays Marcus Semien and Robbie Ray. And there’s a chance for plenty of more activity to come before Thursday’s expected shut-down. On this week’s early edition of Blue Jays Happy Hour we talked about all that and so much more!Have a listen!• Apple

Steven Matz is now a member of the St. Louis Cardinals — a move that created a surprising amount of fallout around the league. For the Jays it means going another route to fill out one of the two holes in their rotation, which could pose a challenge given the way the pitching market has been moving so far.Another challenge the Jays may have in front of them is the fact that the owners of the club, Rogers Communications, is reportedly looking to sell the team!

The Blue Jays made big news this week in several ways, with the club coming to terms on a seven-year, $131 million extension with starter José Berríos, his teammate Robbie Ray taking home the American League Cy Young award, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finishing a near-unanimous second place behind Shohei Ohtani in the balloting for AL MVP.

MLB’s annual GM meetings took place in Carlsbad, California, this week, and though the Blue Jays didn’t get any deals done, the landscape of available players certainly came into sharper focus. And with that as the backdrop, on this week’s Blue Jays Happy Hour we talked about all kinds of potential acquisitions, both on the free agent and trade market, while also touching on the Jays’ many award winners, grading Scott Boras puns, and so much more.Have a listen!• Apple

The Blue Jays have been given a lifeline! With Boston’s loss on Thursday night, just one loss by each of the Red Sox and Mariners over the weekend would — provided the Jays sweep the Orioles — would result in a tie for the second American League wild card spot, and Toronto’s hopes for playoff baseball reigniting!Is that likely to happen? Not necessarily, but it’s not especially unlikely either. And on this week’s episode of Blue Jays Happy Hour we talk about that, about the likelihood of Robbie Ray
