Gearing Up for the Wild Card

The Athletic's Jayson Stark joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker (2:23) to discuss the separation between manager Buck Showalter and the New York Mets, who could be their next bench boss, why the Los Angeles Dodgers have dropped out of the limelight, and a look around the upcoming Wild Card series. Then, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi stops by (29:41) to chat about who's the number one closer heading into the post-season for the Blue Jays, who's the x-factor on the offensive side, final playoff roster cuts, Alejandro Kirk's game calling since Danny Jansen's injury, and who could pitch in Game 2. Plus, we hear comments from GM Ross Atkins ahead of their AL Wild Card series.
