BFMD 424 – Is It Time to Sell? – Bat Flips and Maple Dips – A Toronto Blue Jays Podcast
After a two week hiatus due to illness Justin and Patrick return to assess the damage done to the Toronto Blue Jays over that span, largely by themselves. The team got smoked in Seattle after a tough homestand and find themselves 6 games below .500 with 6 games to play before the All Star Game. The guys discuss who the Jays should trade away before the deadline on August 3rd, a weak(er) free agent class this winter, and what the next competitive window for the Jays could look like.
After losing 4 of 5 to the Nationals and Tigers the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves 4.5 games back of the second Wild Card spot in the American League.
Things won’t be getting any easier as the Chicago White Sox come to town for 4 games this week.
Justin and Patrick break down where it’s all going wrong for the Jays and talk about why it isn’t time to lose hope.
There are 40 games left and those games include series against Oakland, New York and a bunch of teams with poor records. Assuming that the bats wake up this is still a dangerous baseball team!
