    Why didn’t the Blue Jays sign Matt Chapman? (Ep. 299)
    Mar 3 2024
    Matt Chapman is finally off the market, signing a three-year deal with the San Francisco Giants. But the $54-million price tag begs the question: Why didn't the Blue Jays sign him first? Mark, Bryson and Jacob discuss that, plus Alek Manoah's concerning start to spring training and Gerrit Cole's incomprehensible frustration over a Daniel Vogelbach home run.

    Dec 7 2023
    After three long months, Mark, Bryson and Jacob are back and just in time to weigh in on the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes, which are racing towards a conclusion.

  • Are the Blue Jays dead? (Ep. 293)

    Are the Blue Jays dead? (Ep. 293)
    Aug 28 2023
    For the first time this season, we can reasonably entertain the question: Are the Toronto Blue Jays dead? Mark and Bryson discuss a brutal series against the Cleveland Guardians but agree this team still has life... for now. Also discussed: Davis Schneider's inexplicable playing time, Matt Chapman and Bo Bichette's potential injuries and the increasingly competitive wildcard race.

  • Just how bad was the Paul DeJong trade? (Ep. 292)

    Just how bad was the Paul DeJong trade? (Ep. 292)
    Aug 22 2023
    Paul DeJong is technically still a Blue Jay, but probably not for long. Toronto designated him for assignment after 44 at-bats and only three hits. Mark and Bryson look back at the trade and discuss how much of a failure it was. Was it the reason the Blue Jays didn't get an impact bat? Will he get picked up by another team? Also discussed: Bo Bichette's return, Daulton Varsho's hot streak and Davis Schneider's playing time.Subscribe to Section 138 on YouTube for video podcasts.
