What are the early Blue Jays storylines and division outlook at the start of the episode?
Hey, what's going on? Welcome to Jay's Top Class, Blake Murphy and Julia Kreutz with you. No Blue Jays baseball yesterday, but no shortage of fun stuff around the league, around the sports world. Julia, how are you doing?
I'm doing all right. I uh you know, I use the off date to do what I always do, which is watch baseball. I watch the the Yankees lose in eleven To the Angels, it's been a weird stretch for this division, Blake, which is good news for the Blue Jays, because they're not losing that much ground here, even if they're losing three in a row and then off the next Monday.
And yes, uh not losing ground to the Yankees specifically. However, the Rays have won four in a row and the Red Sox have won six in a row, both of those teams won last night. So uh if you are looking at the overall competitive landscape, you are getting in thicker weeds here. You if you had taken one or two off the Phillies, you would feel better about things. The division gap would be closing. And wouldn't you know it, as the Diamondbacks are here, the AL East has turned into the NL West as it's supposed to be. All three wildcard spots would belong to the American League East if the season ended today. It is, of course, very early. But yeah, Yankees lose. Socks keep rolling without Raphael Devers and do a press conference that we'll we'll talk to a Sox person about this sometime later when we revisit the trade.
Um but Uh the reporting and this is it from June Lee among other people. So June's been on the show with us. He wrote Sully for Yahoo the other day or yesterday coming out of uh the Red Sox stuff. Allegedly, not only was there a public Zoom with Craig Breslow and company, there was an internal one that The mics were not off as soon as everyone thought, and um there is a lot of internal strife being revealed based on uh leaks from that meeting, which is really This is
amazing. Uh yeah, we we'll we'll keep our eyes peeled and talk all of it. We're gonna talk more We're gonna talk more

It's true. What do we got? Is that a North North York baseball hat? What what's the okay North Toronto? North Toronto, yeah. We love where my son plays. There we go. How's their season going so far?
Uh let me see. They're a tick over five hundred. Uh I think they're probably better than they've shown. Uh, but they're they're kids playing baseball and learning their way. So uh they're having fun, which is the most important thing.
Yeah, I can imagine it's uh it's a little up and down. I was actually talking to John Axford about it the other day, so he coaches both of his kids who are I think twelve and fourteen and yeah, the ups and downs of like they're figuring it out, Eureka, and then oh no, they're twelve year olds uh has got the uh thing is
linear in any level of this sport.

Before we get into the specifics of Max, how was that? Like we we were talking last week, going to Salem Field is is a blast. It's a really fun spot to watch a game. How'd you enjoy the trip down?
