Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker open a new week on the show with thoughts on Max Scherzer joining the Blue Jays down in Dunedin. Florida. The boys look back on the Jays' weekend of Grapefruit League action, before projecting Friday's anticipated José Berríos-Eric Lauer tandem on the mound. Could this be an indicator of what's to come this season? They also chat about Jeff Hoffman's role in 2026, how the rotation is shaping up, and who might potentially be the odd-man-out. Kevin Pillar (27:47), former Blue Jay and host of To the Majors, stops by to chat about the impact of re-signing Scherzer, his experience facing Dylan Cease, and expectations for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2026. KP wraps up with a discussion about Daulton Varsho's strong spring so far, balancing outfield and DH reps for George Springer, and more!
