The Blue Jays are making one final push. Toronto improved to 52-59 with a 5-1 win over the Cardinals, moving within 3.5 games of the final American League Wild Card spot. But with the trade deadline looming, every win raises the same question: Can the Blue Jays convince themselves to keep this group together?
On game preview 112 of Flight Deck, Nick Alberga and Sierra Pileggi break down Kevin Gausman's emotional outing that may have been his final start as a Blue Jay, why Jeff Hoffman continues to boost his trade value, and whether Toronto should pivot from selling to adding controllable talent after another series win.
We'll also dive into Max Scherzer's latest start, what to expect from Matthew Liberatore, and why the blockbuster Tarik Skubal trade could have a major impact on Toronto's deadline plans.
