So long, Rowdy Tellez; the Alejandro Kirk conundrum & Wild Card projections w/ Jonah Birenbaum
Manage episode 296978467 series 72940
With the same battery-energy as Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra, Drew and Jonah Birenbaum pitch and catch Blue Jays musings with such panache, you'd think they were on the diamond. The guys bid farewell to Rowdy Tellez, who was traded to Milwaukee in exchange for pitcher Trevor Richards. Will Tellez's departure affect the team negatively? Is Richards' addition a boon to the bullpen? Finally, Drew can fully unleash his outer (yes, outer, not inner) Shohei Ohtani fanboy with Jonah around. Who will win the AL MVP, Shohei or Vlad? Trade machine time! Is Alejandro Kirk next out the door, or should Toronto start him as a valued offensive producer? Nate Pearson is a goner at this point, right? Could Toronto nab either Berrios or Castillos to fortify their rotation? What about Jose Ramirez? To close, the teammates flick through who's in the mix for the AL Wild Card and compare the Blue Jays to those clubs.
