What was Bobby Cox's impact on baseball and his players?
All right. Welcome back to Blair and Barker brought to you by Capital One. Capital One getting Canadians credit for 30 years. So we are waiting. Some further news on Addison Barger's MRI, which was scheduled for today. Nothing final yet, but our Arden Swelling reporting that Johenrik Penango is in the Jays' clubhouse or is with the team. He was, of course, sent out to make room for Addison Barger when Addison Barger came back on Saturday. So Johenrik Penango is in Toronto right now. Again, that could... Let's not read too much into that until we hear one thing or another about Addison Barger. But it would certainly indicate that the Jays, let's put it this way, the Jays are prepared for an IL stint.
I think the fact they have him up. Now, they've also brought Yariel Rodriguez, where he was also reportedly going to join the team as well. So there are a couple of moves to be made. before tonight's first game of that three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. And, of course, as we said, Addison Barger's MRI, we believe, due to the throw he made in his return on Saturday. I don't know if we've heard anything definite in that one way or another. It would stand to reason that that was the issue. But we'll wait and see. some further updates from John Schneider and the Blue Jays. Caleb Joseph joins us in a few minutes. We'll talk to Caleb about his thoughts on the Angels series on the weekend and also Addison Barger and where the Jays go from there if Addison Barger is, in fact, not available.
We've also got Jays tickets to give away to see the Jays and Rays tomorrow at the Rogers Center. Patrick Corbin on the mound against Shane McClanahan to more Griffin Jacks and Dylan Cease Wednesday series finale. So, Kevin, I guess we'll have to wait and see what John says. His media veil is in about 45 minutes or so, I think. We'll wait and see what John says about Addison Barger.
Yeah, it's too bad.
What were the key roster moves made by the Blue Jays?
Momentum was heading in the direction, I think, that they wanted it to head into with where guys were hitting, thump up front. Addison's pretty good at having a game plan, sticking with it, no matter the outcome.
How did Tom Glavine describe his relationship with Bobby Cox?
And that's kind of the thing you have to do, hitting in the middle of the order in 2026. That'll be a big loss. He's not able to hit, especially against these righties that the Rays are going to run out there. That's pretty good. Yeah, it just means other guys are going to have to step up the obvious names. Hopefully they can do that and start having better approaches.
Well, as you know by now, the baseball world, and particularly I would suggest the baseball world in Atlanta and Toronto, although certainly the baseball world in general, lost one of its giants this past weekend, Bobby Cox, former manager. of the blue Jays and Atlanta Braves passing away. And, uh, you know, for those of you of a certain age, you'll remember Bobby Cox is the guy who took over as Jays manager in 82. And, uh, for the first time in their existence led the Jays out of the American league East basement. They won 89 games in each of the next two seasons. They clinched the division for the first time in 85 with, uh, Bobby as manager, um, A lot of baseball fans outside of Toronto, I would suggest, would probably associate Bobby with the Atlanta Braves.
And very much another name associated with those Braves is our next guest, Tom Glavin, Hall of Fame pitcher and Atlanta Braves broadcaster, joins us on Blair and Barker. Hey, Tom, thanks so much for joining us. Sorry for your loss with Bobby. Look, I... I wasn't covering the Blue Jays when Bobby was managing the team, but I was covering the Montreal Expos when you guys would roll into town and did have a chance to talk to Bobby often during the postseason as well because you guys were part of the postseason furniture, as I said in the past. But what's the first word that comes to mind for you when I mention the name Bobby Cox?
You know, it's a question that's been asked a lot over the course of the last 48 hours, and I guess the one word that continues to come to mind for me is passion or passionate.
