Draft and Deadline - Future Is Now For the Blue Jays
With a recap and review of the MLB and a look ahead to the MLB Deadline, Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert welcome a couple of former executives to the show. First, David Samson (0:47), former Expos and Marlins exec, on why the window for the Jays has closed, why even Ohtani would not have been able to fix their core issues and looks to how they build toward being competitive in 2025. Later on, Keith Law (28:09), Draft Expert for The Athletic and former Jays Assistant to the GM, looks back at the Jays' draft, why their first pick, Trey Yesavage, should be seen as a steal, why he fell in the draft and how a farm system contributes and helps determine future success.
