  • I just can’t…

    Please remove Kaitlyn from the show. It’s painful to listen to her be unprepared and repeat everything Sho says five or six times. Will not listen when she is hosting, this is why I cancelled The Athletic. Bring back Julia! Thanks.

  • Propaganda

    Wow! Has Sho Alli always been this much of a Blue Jays apologist? He only seems to be able to find optimistic text comments to share with us - it’s uncanny.

    Remember when this show had actual live callers? What happened? Have a backbone and share what the people really think! When Hoffman blows the game (yet again), don’t hide the fact that 90% of your callers/testers are upset about it!

    ALL IS WELL IN BLUE JAYS LAND 👍

  • Perfect way for US fans to stay connected to the team

    Listening to the Jays post game show and daily Jays Talk Plus kept me connected to the team since I live in the US with a weak car antenna (Sportsnet doesn’t come in very well most days in Buffalo).

    Blair and Barker are so great at breaking down games, and I enjoyed the insights, banter, and interviews from Julia and Blake so much this season. Episodes with Sho were also excellent, and each host/set of hosts adds something unique. Just a must-listen podcast for US fans in particular who want to... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

JTP: Jays Prospect Blaine Bullard, Cubs Check-In & Playoffs?
Q: What did you make of the Blue Jays' deadline strategy and the hybrid approach they used?
They balanced selling expiring contracts with acquiring controllable pieces to position the team not only for 2026 but for 2027 and beyond, a savvy move that preserves youth and depth while still trying to compete this year.
JTP: Skubal Sweepstakes with Jon Morosi & Jays’ Calm Before the Storm
Q: What is the current sense of Toronto's deadline strategy and which veterans might be moved?
The Jays are in a selling/searching mode, weighing moves of veterans with expiring contracts while seeking to maintain competitiveness for 2027 and beyond, with emphasis on balancing roster depth and prospect return.
JTP Trade Deadline Show: A Farewell to Gausman & Welcoming Soriano
Q: What does the Soriano move signal about the Blue Jays' plans for 2027 and 2028?
It signals a deliberate shift toward adding a controllable, high-end starter while selling an expiring asset, balancing immediate needs with a longer-term rotation plan.
JTP: Nervous Deadline Locker Room, New Blue Jays & Josh Reddick
Q: Dan, which trades most shifted playoff odds and why?
Dan highlighted that the biggest shifts came from addressing the biggest holes with durable players; Scooble's addition to the Dodgers and the Guardians' bat additions were particularly impactful, changing both playoff odds and the floor/ceiling dynamics for these teams.
JTP: Nervous Deadline Locker Room, New Blue Jays & Josh Reddick
Q: Keith, what did the deadline do for the Jays' 2027 outlook in concrete terms?
Keith explained that the Jays gained younger, more controllable pieces like Soriano and Arrighetti, which strengthens their rotation depth and provides longer-term value, even if the 2026 impact was more muted.
