Options on Deck Post Deadline with John Schneider
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Blue Jays manager John Schneider to get his thoughts on the front office's trade deadline acquisitions (1:40). The skipper shares how he plans on using Louis Varland out of the bullpen, his job of getting new players acquainted to their roles and setting within a game and clubhouse, Shane Bieber's recovery and fit within the rotation, why they'll have a cautious approach with Daulton Varsho returning, and his options within the pen and on the bench. Then, Blue Jays TV play-by-play voice Dan Shulman stops by (25:47) to discuss how the players feel post-trade-deadline, why Ty France is a depth upgrade in the infield, if Joey Loperfido is predictable, why Max Scherzer could be on a verge of a successful run, and why Vladdy Jr. is the most important player down the stretch.
