Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker start the hour with FOX Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander, who looks at how Shohei Ohtani’s free agency outlook has changed since his injury and surgery, if he might move to the bullpen when he returns to the mound and whether the Blue Jays could be in on the Ohtani sweepstakes. Then, he looks at the AL playoff picture and how the Jays fare with their roster construction. Later, Jeff Passan stops by (28:31) to share his thoughts on Yusei Kikuchi’s sleep schedule and some of the weirder sleep quirks in MLB history, the Tigers’ new GM hire Jeff Greenberg and the future of the Blue Jays rotation.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
