The Blue Jays are chirping the 'Bubblewrap Blues' as key figures to the club's 2021 aspirations are sidelined with injuries. Drew and Kaitlyn recap the spell of dings and bruises the Blue Birds experienced, including Kirby Yates season-ending elbow wound (2:30), and how his absence will affect the bullpen; George Springer's oblique strain and his prognosis (23:45), and Robbie Ray's baby-carrying, stair-falling pain (29:30). How concerning are these injuries? Will they bleed into the regular season? Kaitlyn discusses her 1-on-1 interview with Mark Shapiro and the conversations she had with the team's president, including the state of team vaccinations; optimism in a return to playing in Toronto, and Vlad Jr.'s impending free agency (41:30). Lastly, the prescient podcasting duo predicts Toronto's roster (59:00).
