The trade deadline is almost here. The Blue Jays took the series in Washington with a 5-2 victory, improving to 50-59, but with the postseason odds dwindling and the deadline fast approaching, the biggest story isn't just what happened on the field—it's what comes next.
On game preview 110 of Flight Deck, Nick Alberga break down another encouraging start from Trey Yesavage, Kazuma Okamoto's continued rise, and the latest trade deadline buzz surrounding Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho, George Springer, and Jeff Hoffman.
We'll discuss whether Toronto's recent play is enough to convince the front office to hold onto more pieces, or if a sell-off is still the most likely outcome. Plus, Ken Rosenthal's latest reporting suggests one strong weekend against the Cardinals could change everything.
Also on today's show:
⚾ Louis Varland improves to a perfect 23-for-23 in save opportunities
⚾ Can Dylan Cease strengthen his Cy Young case with another dominant outing?
⚾ Why the Phillies, Braves and Red Sox continue to surface as potential trade partners?
⚾ Roster moves as Braydon Fisher and Jesús Sánchez return With just days remaining before the deadline, every game could shape Toronto's direction.
Is there still a path back into the Wild Card race, or are these final opportunities to showcase the Blue Jays' biggest trade chips?
We finish with Nick's picks presented by bet365.
