The Blue Jays are officially 1-0 in the post-trade deadline era, but can this retooled roster actually make a run at the playoffs?
On game 114 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog break down Ross Atkins' comments after the deadline, Shane Bieber's bounce-back performance, and why the Blue Jays looked like a completely different team at the plate in their 3-1 win over the Astros.
Nick also discuss Toronto's new-look rotation, where Jose Soriano fits alongside Dylan Cease, and whether there's still a realistic path to an AL Wild Card spot.
