Jays Talk Plus: Post-All-Star Perfection

The Blue Jays are back in a big way with a weekend sweep of the D-Backs, and Blake Murphy has you covered! He is joined in-studio by Sportsnet’s own Arden Zwelling for the full first hour to discuss what helped Toronto bring out the brooms for the first series post-All-Star break, as well as what sort of help the team could be looking to add at the deadline. Next, Blake welcomes longtime baseball writer and NYT best seller, Tim Brown, to discuss his latest book "The Tao of the Backup Catcher", which features a few Blue Jays connections, before chatting about Shohei Ohtani's case as the greatest player to ever play the game (51:06). Lastly, Baseball Prospectus’ Ginny Searle dives deeper into her piece on disappointing teams this season featuring the San Diego Padres, who come into town next to play the Jays, before talking about the upcoming trade deadline and who could be available (01:17:10).
