Baseball is back! And so it has been for nearly a week, nevertheless, Drew and Kaitlyn are ecstatic about delivering Spin Rate to you, in all of its splendor, with actual baseball to play. A torrent of transactions have transpired over the last 48-72 hours, some involving the Jays. One, in particular, is Toronto's deal with the Oakland A's to land 3B, Matt Chapman. What does Chapman do for the Jays' at third base? Who all did the organization trade in order to land Chapman? The pair then kibbitz about the Jays adding to their rotation with the addition of Yusei Kikuchi. Kaitlyn offers her observations from Spring Training, and the duo briefly discusses if the Jays are AL's pound-for-pound best team.
