Blue Jays Talk

Host Blake Murphy kicks things off with yesterday's official news of Alek Manoah's demotion to the Florida Complex League and shares his expectations for what's next for the team and player. He welcomes in MLB.com’s Julia Kreuz to dive deeper into Manoah's journey back to the Majors, before dissecting the Blue Jays' big bounce back win against the Astros Tuesday night (07:14). Speaking of Houston, field reporter for AT&T Sportsnet Vanessa Richardson checks in from Rogers Centre amid the 'Stros' road trip to give us some inside info on the club (27:16). To start the second hour, MLB Insider and Sportsnet’s own Shi Davidi focuses in on the trickle down effect of sending Manoah down, before taking a step back to look at the organization's pitching depth as a whole (50:17). To close the show, Blake checks in with the creator and king of ZiPs, Dan Szymborski of Fangraphs, to look back on some of his Blue Jays projections one third of the way through this season (01:24:26).
