The Future of the Blue Jays Payroll

After the Blue Jays and Orioles got rained out, Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker agree that Toronto will have their hands full with the Cleveland Guardians this weekend. The guys talk about the delay that caused José Berríos to make his next start at home and the makeup of the Blue Jays’ starting rotation with Ross Stripling making a rehab start on Friday with the Buffalo Bisons. MLB insider Jeff “Jeffy” Passan shares how the Juan Soto trade came to be, which teams were involved in those talks, and reflects on Soto betting on himself by turning down the Nationals' contract offer. Later, the trio discuss the contract statuses of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette and if the Blue Jays can afford to sign them both to long-term extensions (27:10)
