Charlie Montoyo

To cap off the week with some Jays talk, Shi Davidi joins Bob and John on the podcast. The three discuss the Toronto Blue Jays recent move to fire Charlie Montoyo amidst a rather underwhelming stretch of play from Canada's only MLB team. We question what kind of leadership the organization needs to push them into this years playoffs and mull over the options they have at the trade deadline with it only two weeks away.

Ben checks in with Stephen Brunt in NFLD and all the focus today is on the Jays and the future of Charlie Montoyo - even if - you can't blame him 100% for the team losing 9/10 games. Then, Bo Bichette is not a fan of the HR jacket, Nate Pearson would fetch you much in a trade and is Ross Atkins waiting too long to make a move? Later (30:00) we get a trade market update from MLB Network's Jon Morosi who lays out various names that would fit the Jays including Josh Bell.  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 affiliate.

Then Blair & Barker share their thoughts on the Vladdy-Bo experience and the latest Rogers Centre face-lift, take in some pre-game defensive drills, and discuss Matt Chapman's impact on the left side of the infield (10:51). Finally, Manager of the Blue Jays Charlie Montoyo stops by and takes a moment to reflect on what Opening Day means to help, before shifting his attention to his team to chat about their athleticism on the bases and how the bullpen has shaped up this off-season (26:23).

Of course, as soon as we published last week's podcast, the Randal Grichuk trade was announced. Fingers crossed we don't release a podcast just before another acquisition by the Jays. But that's where Drew and Kaitlyn begin today's show, serving up their thoughts on the Randal Grichuk-Raimel Tapia exchange. Why did Toronto trade for Tapia? What role will he have with the team? While focusing on specific players, the duo cogitates on if Greg Bird will make the Jays' roster. Who will be the club's Opening Day starter? Plus, what is Charlie Montoyo's future with the organization?Follow Drew on Twitter: @DrewGROFFollow Kaitlyn on Twitter: @kaitlyncmcgrathSubscribe to The Athletic for just $1/month for 6 months by visiting: theathletic.com/spinrate Learn more about your ad choices.
