Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker welcome in ESPN's MLB insider Jeff Passan (5:25) to discuss parity across the American League, who's to blame for the Red Sox's disappointing season so far, why teams are more cautious when calling up top prospects and his recent story on OneTeam Partners, an MLBPA & NFLPA firm being investigated by the FBI. Later, Blue Jays manager John Schneider (31:14) shares why an IL stint is the best course of action for the ailing Anthony Santander, how the bats build off their 12-0 win over the Athletics, what's behind Ernie Clements' recent hot stretch, his expectations for Alan Roden in his return to the majors, the plan for the 5th starter and much more.
