What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Oh, welcome to Blair Barker. There you go. Every now and then, a producer's got to get a little love. He's a good-looking guy. Dressed up for us today, too. Yeah, he did. Every day. Angel's cap and his pearl jacket.
He got a shave. Probably took a shower, I'd guess. I'm sure he's still out on that one. He hasn't smelled good in a while, either. What? I don't know. Normally, he smells on point. Lately... God.
Where's this going? I'm not sure. Well, I mean, I'd almost rather talk about that. But anyhow, here we go. It is Blair and Barker on Sportsnet 590.
We can't build two hours on that.
Oh, we can. We've built two hours. You would be surprised the stuff I've filled two hours with in my career. Some of it... Some of it I even believed. Barker's Jays are in a world of hurt right now. They lost 12-2 last night. What does that add up to? 19-3. Is that sort of what it is? The Jays have been outscored by my Rays in the first two games of the series. Game three of that series goes tonight. It's Griffin Jacks on the mound for the Rays. Braden Fisher. will open for the Blue Jays. Spencer Miles, one would assume, would get a tremendous amount of work. We're going to be joined in a few minutes by Mark Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Caleb Joseph's going to be along. Jason Stark as well. You've got to get to, I mean, there's kind of newsy stuff happening right now.
According to Arden's dwelling, Johenrik Penango has a locker in the Jays, the clubhouse he is here. We believe C.J. Van Eyck is here. He would only be able to be added to the roster, I think, in the event of an injury. So, of course, we saw Dalton Varshow crash into the center field wall last night. You be nice. I am nice. We'll see if those moves, you know, if anything's up there. I mean, I'm not surprised the Jays would bring another pitcher back. They would need it after what they went through last night. Kevin Gossman, three and two-thirds.
Mm-hmm.
So we'll await further information on that, and I'm sure we'll get it. I'm sure the lads will send it out on X as soon as they can. Ken Rosenthal, just before we came on the air, and again, we're getting close to the trade deadline, and this is basically all we're going to be talking about for the next week or so. What if they don't do anything? Well, what if they do? I mean, it wouldn't be the first time we've wasted eight days talking about stuff that hasn't happened, would it? Yeah.
God help us.
Listen, I go back and forth. They could do anything or they could do nothing.
Seriously, that's kind of where I am. I really don't think nothing's an option. I just don't think it can be.
How did the Blue Jays perform in last night's 12-2 loss to the Rays?
No, no, no. Let me rephrase that. Let me rephrase that. They could add because... You know, got to keep fans engaged. They could add thinking they have a shot at a wild card spot. That's entirely possible. Or they could sell off some pieces to try to get some, you know, some guys in who can flesh out the farm system. I mean, they could do the whole Jonathan Class A, Will Wagner thing. Maybe they try to find another Louis Varl. I mean, you know, they can take money. They could go with whatever direction they're going to go in. Where I really wonder... is whether or not the standings have anything to do with it. In other words, if they are where they are now at the trade deadline, do they still add? I don't know.
Maybe they feel obligated to. Ownership's spending a lot of money. Fans have been booing the last couple of games. People are still coming out to the ballpark. They may want to decide that they want to take a run at this. Anyhow, but I do want to get to Rosenthal's tweet because Kevin Gossman did pitch yesterday, and he is... You know, if you look at any of the national writers, reporters in the States, he's kind of one of the guys they expect to see traded because he is eligible for free agency. I mean, it just kind of fits the profile. If the Jays decide they do want to move on from him. This from Ken Rosenthal. We know that Kevin Gossman has an eight-team no-trade clause. And according to Ken Rosenthal, the eight teams he can block a trade to are the Reds, the Brewers, the Tigers, the Mets, the A's, the White Sox, the Pirates, the Mariners.
