The Blue Jays' season has mercifully over. But as a crucial offseason begins, fans seem to have little interest in showing mercy to those responsible for putting the team together—especially as it seems increasingly clear that President Mark Shapiro and GM Ross Atkins will continue to lead the club into 2025.This week Nick and Stoeten have a wide-ranging talk about the season that was, the vibes here in the aftermath, and what comes next.FOLLOW BLUE JAYS NATION!Website: https://bluejaysnation.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejaysnation/?hl=enX: https://x.com/thejaysnationTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebluejaysnationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theBlueJaysNation/SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Betway - https://betway.com/en-ca/ #BetTheResponsibleWay #BetwayCanadaReach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.

Bo Bichette tries to play baseball in 2024. No-show Bichette.It's been a tough year for the Blue Jays' star shortstop, who had his season end last week after returning for just a single game following a two-month layoff. But it's been tough for a whole lot of people, hasn't it? Daulton Varsho just had surgery, several relievers are not going to return, Jonatan Clase appears to need more minor league seasoning, and Jays fans have eaten a stunning amount of meat—all subjects that we discuss in this week's episode!FOLLOW BLUE JAYS NATION!Website: https://bluejaysnation.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejaysnation/?hl=enX: https://x.com/thejaysnationTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebluejaysnationFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theBlueJaysNation/SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Betway - https://betway.com/en-ca/ #BetTheResponsibleWay #BetwayCanadaReach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.

Bowden Francis continues to pitch his way into the Jays' 2025 rotation, but what will happen to him now that his "personal catcher" is off the roster?

Bo Bichette has declared his desire to stay in Toronto long-term, and to win a championship with teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It's a bold and surprising statement for a player long considered to be more willing than most to test free agency, but how important is it? Does it change anything? What does it really mean?Plus: Was keeping Chad Green a mistake? Can Spencer Horwitz continue to produce? (Because he'll need to if he's a first baseman long-term). Are we finally over the Votto thing?

The Blue Jays stuck with MLB's least experienced lineup of the season on Sunday, even when down one run in the ninth with a bench full of veterans. Does a team owe fans better, even in a lost season like this one? Nick and Stoeten talked all about it this week—but not before checking in on Bowden Francis, assessing the young hitters currently getting a long look, joking about Bo Bichette being traded (obligatory), and a whole lot more.
