The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Blue Jays reshaped their roster. On game 113 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog break down every major trade, what they mean for Toronto's future, and whether Ross Atkins struck the right balance between selling now and building a contender for the next few seasons.
Jose Soriano is the newest Blue Jay, Kevin Gausman and Daulton Varsho are gone, and Toronto adds multiple controllable pieces as the organization shifts its focus.
We'll also discuss Max Scherzer's vintage outing, Dylan Cease being named AL Pitcher of the Month, and preview Shane Bieber's start against Christian Javier.
