This week @nickashbourne.bsky.social and I take a look at a Jeff Passan piece that was music to Jays fans' ears.

Plus!: Qualifying offers, Nick Sandlin (and Andres Gimenez), Ricky Tiedemann, the team we’d least like to see Bo end up with, and a whole lot more!

Have a listen! 👇

ICYMI, Atkins Speaks!…
Ross Atkins spoke to the media this week, and as always his words were as impenetrable as they were integral to understanding how the Blue Jays plan to move forward into the offseason.

So I transcribed them all and then added my own dumb thoughts!👇

Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins will meet the media on Thursday starting at 1 PM. Why, what happened?

The Jays got as close to winning a World Series as physically possible. But, as I'm sure I don't need to tell you, they did not win.

So this week @nickashbourne.bsky.social and I talk about the playoff ride, an instant classic of a World Series, and heartbreaking defeat.

Have a listen! 👇

I’d have liked that season more if the Jays had won that game, sure. But kind of in the same way that I’d have liked a filet mignon more if it had one more bite. It was still pretty fucking good!

Went to bed after the Bichette home run, man that must have been some party, hope everyone had fun!
