    Juan Soto "rumours" continue to fly, as Jays fans brace themselves to be hurt again. Plus, the Jays have hired former Reds manager David Bell as the latest "name" to join their front office, and the business of the offseason continues, with the Jays choosing not to add any Rule-5-eligible prospects to their 40-man roster in order to protect them from selection, as several non-tender decisions loom with Friday's 8 PM ET deadline upcoming.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.

  • 149. Revisiting Our Pre-Season Thoughts

These were all questions that we discussed back in the spring, before the Jays embarked on what ultimately became their most disappointing season in years. Come join us as we revisit our thoughts—some prescient, most not so much.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.

    49:21||Ep. 147
    The Blue Jays' season has mercifully over.
