The future of the Blue Jays after their World Series run, Rockies make a shocking hire + Good Bad Uggla returns
Manage episode 518213478 series 3398954
When the Toronto Blue Jays went on their miracle postseason run that landed them just two outs shy of winning the World Series, very few believed they’d be in that position during the regular season. However, after falling just short of the ultimate goal, the question now remains: where do the Jays go from here?
On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman are joined by Blue Jays writer for Sportsnet, Ben Nicholson-Smith, as they try to figure out how Toronto will approach free agency this offseason — including whether they’ll be able to retain star shortstop Bo Bichette as he enters free agency. They also discuss the lasting impact the Blue Jays’ World Series run will have on fans in Canada and when Ben first thought this was a team capable of making a deep postseason run.
Later, Jake and Jordan talk about the Colorado Rockies’ surprising decision to hire Paul DePodesta as their President of Baseball Operations, the San Diego Padres hiring former reliever Craig Stammen as their new manager and go over the players who received qualifying offers. They then make their picks as The Good, The Bad and The Uggla finally makes its return.
