Blue Jays Talk · JTP: Jays Prospect Blaine Bullard, Cubs Check-In & Playoffs? · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

If he feels well enough to at least be able to go out and play, he's going to do that. matched

But I just think, to bring it back to your question, it is just so incredible that I actually... matched

I actually don't know the answer. matched

Of course, if Vlad gets going, the Blue Jays would look a lot better offensively, but just having him in the lineup, I don't know if that's beneficial at this point for the Blue Jays. matched

Yeah, I'm with you. matched

I thought they would sell a little bit more, but we also don't know how hard they tried to sell a bit more. matched

I think that there were some quotes from Ross Akins where you could kind of parse out, and to some extent it sort of sounded like maybe George didn't want to go anywhere, and obviously he had the opportunity to veto any trade given his 10-5 rights. matched

uh maybe they couldn't find a trade partner for Bieber and Scherzer maybe there were still too many questions about um what they could offer a team down the stretch just given their injury and performance and various things like that in terms of Myles Straw like you know again maybe I could I would assume that he they could find a trade partner for him just because like he can be a really useful fourth outfielder for any playoff team but you know maybe the Blue Jays just felt like they didn't want to let go of a guy that can play center field for them in that way that they weren't matched

totally waving the white flag on this season. matched

So yeah, matched

I think that I'm with you that I thought the sell would be a little harder. matched

I thought it would be a little bit easier to kind of wake up the next day and say, okay, yeah, the season's over. matched

The Blue Jays are clearly just retooling for next year. matched

They are doing that. matched

But I think that there's enough of a glimmer, especially considering who's still on the roster and who they brought in and just the state of the American League, that you could say that they're still pushing a little bit. matched

That was probably sort of calculated, too, from... matched

Atkins in terms of just not wanting to kill the mood in the clubhouse not wanting to sort of you also kind of like want to reward the players for like what they did last year so maybe you would feel too like crushing to have really waved the right flag aggressively so maybe it was a little bit of that like maybe it was like let's not totally kill morale and matched

and have that as a consideration potentially. matched

But in terms of what they actually did pull off, I was pretty impressed at the ability to do the kind of hybrid, as you say, buy and sell, because that is something that I think we talk about a lot in theory when we speculate what teams could do at the deadline. matched

And I think we say it so easily, like, yeah, you could just buy and sell. matched
