Section 138: A Toronto Blue Jays podcast Will the Blue Jays use Cavan Biggio as trade bait? (Ep. 121)Wrapping up a rough series against the Boston Red Sox, it's time for a way-too-early trade deadline preview. Will the Toronto Blue Jays be willing to move Cavan Biggio and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.? What about Austin Martin or Jordan Groshans? Mark, Bryson and Jacob also debate whether Charlie Montoyo made a mistake in going to Rafael Dolis in the ninth inning of Thursday's game, whether Santiago Espinal should get more playing time, and if Alek Manoah could make his big league debut on June 1.

Section 138: A Toronto Blue Jays podcast What's behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s home run streak? (Ep. 120)The Toronto Blue Jays just keep on rolling. They've won 15 of their last 22 games, powered by a resurgent offense and a bullpen that is just barely chugging along. Mark, Bryson and Jacob unpack Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s three-game home run streak, Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s six-hit series and Marcus Semien's turnaround season. We also discuss the bullpen: Are we reaching the point where it implodes? How much longer can the relievers survive?

Section 138: A Toronto Blue Jays podcast Why on earth did the Blue Jays demote Nate Pearson?

The starters all went at least five innings (even Ross Stripling!) and the lineup completed a handful of miraculous comebacks. Mark, Bryson and Jacob banter about the series, then discuss the questionable move to demote Nate Pearson to triple-A Buffalo/Trenton instead of letting him get comfortable in the majors. Manoah Watch returns with Alek Manoah's no-hit bid earlier this week and the crew discusses the possible reasons for why the Blue Jays would keep him in triple-A. Lastly...

What better way to start a season than beating the New York Yankees? Mark, Bryson and Jacob discuss the biggest takeaways and overreactions from the series, including incredible pitching, strong defense and less-than-stellar offense.
