Blue Jays Talk

Sho Alli hosts a special offseason edition of Jays Talk to chat about the Toronto Blue Jays acquiring second baseman Andrés Giménez and reliever Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz (ultimately ending up with the Pittsburgh Pirates) and minor-league outfielder Nick Mitchell before bringing on Jays' contributor Nick Ashbourne (4:36) to share his thoughts on the trade, how this affects Bo Bichette's future at shortstop, how Horwitz fits as the Pirates' potential first basemen of the future, and the next steps for Vladdy's contract. Then, Chris Rose (26:22) shares the scouting report on Giménez, what was behind the down trend in his offence since his All-Star nod back in 2022, how Bally Sports cutting ties to broadcast Guardians games affects the team's offseason, and a look at Toronto's uncertain future ahead.

Is there any cause for concern there, or is it a one-off? They get into Danny Jansen and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both hitting home runs, and muse on whether Vladdy Jr. is heating up at the right time. Plus, a gutsy start from Alek Manoah, some appreciation for George Springer continuing to play hurt, and more on the Stripling vs. Berríos conversation.
