Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker get set for the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. They discuss Brandon Valenzuela being left off the lineup in the series opener, whether Shane Bieber's resurgence makes him available at the trade deadline, and whether Vladdy Jr.'s swing is fixable in 2026. Blue Jays manager John Schneider joins the show to discuss Max Scherzer's triple-A progress, how Kazuma Okamoto can avoid extended slumps, what's behind the team's historic success at Fenway Park, Trey Yesavage’s in-game adjustments, and much more.
