Blue Jays Even the Series, Okamoto Hits his 30th & Kawhi Practicing with Raptors
About this episode
The episode covers the Blue Jays' recent win, player performances, and updates on Kawhi Leonard's situation with the Raptors.
Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the show with a recap of the Blue Jays’ 4-2 win over the Athletics. They break down José Soriano’s performance and whether it sets the standard for what the team should expect from him going forward. Where can Soriano still improve? They also discuss Kazuma Okamoto’s impact this season after launching his 30th home run, whether Josh Smith deserves more playing time given Ernie Clement’s post-All-Star struggles, and how much Spencer Miles’ versatility out of the bullpen has meant to the Jays. Finally, the guys dive into the latest on Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors. The boys look into why hasn’t the trade been finalized despite him practicing with the team, and if fans should be concerned. They wrap up this hour with a quick chat about what Fraser Minten’s recent contract extension signals about the league’s evolving salary landscape.
