    The Jays Mark of Shapiro

    For a rare appearance in front of Blue Jays media, team president Mark Shapiro talks about his future with Rogers ownership as he nears the end of his contract. On Exit Philosophy, Griff and Mal discusses Shapiro’s views on the evolution of his manager John Schneider, what his lukewarm comments on negotiations with Bo Bichette might mean, the success of the team compared to 2024 and more. The boys explain the importance of Mason Fluharty’s huge strikeout of Shohei Ohtani and how it may have saved the psyche of the clubhouse. Heading to September, will the lefty combo of Brendon Little and Fluharty, if they are joined by Eric Lauer, be an advantage. It may be that Sahlen Field in Buffalo was the place to be this week, with Alek Manoah, Trey Yesavage and Shane Bieber all getting a chance to start for the AAA-Bisons. Also, is 90 wins the target for the Blue Jays to safely earn a playoff spot … and more. Subscribe, like and leave a review we would really appreciate it!

    Jays are Beasts of the East

    The Blue Jays are the Beasts of the East, the hunted not the hunters in this race to the title in what has traditionally been the toughest division in baseball. How did they get there and what about the Yankees and Red Sox. Did Bo Bichette win the bet on himself when he didn’t sign any of the deals that have been offered by the Jays over the past several years and what kind of total value, or AAV could he expect? Does Bo know shortstop or could he do a Marcus Semien? The Yankees seem like a good fit as a new home for the Jays shortstop this coming offseason. How would Bo look in pinstripes? Griff and Mal discuss the well-documented clubhouse confrontation between Phillies star Bryce Harper and MLB Commissioner. Was there a message to his madness and how big an influence was his super-agent Scott Boras? What about when RH Shane Bieber is ready to start in the majors again coming off Tommy John. It’s a great problem to have, deciding whether to go with a six man rotation for the final seven trips through the rotation or the traditional five. LH Eric Lauer has been the most consistent starter but he could be the odd-man out. Are the Blue Jays getting the proper respect from national media and their own fan-base? Why not? Ross Atkins deserves some credit for filling the need for two more hard throwing bullpen arms and a clear roll of the dice with Bieber. Should he have done more at the deadline? Finally, a heartfelt discussion between Mal and Griff about the expansion Niagara Ironbacks' experience in the Perfect Game Collegiate Summer League. With Mal as co-owner and GM and Griff as field manager, the two compare memories of a team that despite a difficult season on the field, provided a culture that stayed bonded in the clubhouse and dugout. INDEX: 0:00 Intro 2:25 - As Bichette steps up offensively so does his price tag. Will he remain at short. 14:44 - Tale of the tape Manfred vs. Bryce Harper clubhouse dustup 21:12 - Do Blue Jays get the respect they deserve and why not? 25:43 - What to do with Shane Bieber and the existing 5-man rotation. 33:57 - Who is the Jays main threat in the AL East, Red Sox or Yankees  41:13 - In praise of Ross Atkins. 46:40 - Will the prospect capital sent away at the deadline haunt the Jays? 49:49 - The Jays have a record $75.6M on the IL. Significance?  52:47 - A tribute to the Niagara Ironbacks expansion season and a reaffirmation of why we love baseball and team sports. 59:11 - Outro ---- Get the video version of "Exit Philosophy" and "Conversations with Griff" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ExitPhilosophy ---- For the full catalogue of Richard Griffin's work, including weekly Blue Jays/MLB columns, a weekly MLB Power Rankings column, exclusive conversations with some of the game's greats, past and present, and the Exit Philosophy podcast, visit https://www.griffsthepitch.com/

    The Trade Deadline Report Card

    Coming out of one of the busiest MLB trade deadline days in recent memory, the Blue Jays feel they may have completed their shopping list, adding a former Cy Young Award winner, a right handed bat and a hard throwing reliever to go with Seranthony Dominguez obtained from the O’s two days earlier. Was that enough for Ross Atkins and the Jays to rank among the Top 6 winners heading down the stretch and what’s the best way to coax a rehabbing Shane Bieber remaining healthy into October? Rich Griffin rolls solo for this episode with Mal set to return next week.  Please like, subscribe and leave a review whereever you listen to the Exit Philosophy Podcast.  INDEX: 0:00 Intro 1:00 How O’s disaster forced Jays hand  2:22 Zane Smith vs. Seranthony Dominguez  4:28 Bieber and a 6-man rotation 8:30 Trade with the Twins 11:35 Shape of the pen 12:25 Top 6 Deadline winners 26:1 Wrap-up of busy day ---- Get the video version of "Exit Philosophy" and "Conversations with Griff" on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ExitPhilosophy ---- For the full catalogue of Richard Griffin's work, including weekly Blue Jays/MLB columns, a weekly MLB Power Rankings column, exclusive conversations with some of the game's greats, past and present, and the Exit Philosophy podcast, visit https://www.griffsthepitch.com/

    The Trade Deadline Looms

    In this episode of Exit Philosophy, Griffin and Mal discuss the All-star game with all its tweaks, like Mic’d up players, the limited challenge system and the swing off to end a tie. What about the Blue Jays and the 2025 draft. Is scouting director Marc Tramuta bringing a new philosophy? What about Vlad? Is he worth all that money and being the All-Star starting first baseman? Then with the trade deadline approaching, why do they need more bullpen help.  Subscribe, like and leave a review wherever you listen or watch your podcasts.

    The Blue Jays All-Star Edition

    The Blue Jays are arriving at the All-Star break with an unexpected lead in the once-again powerful AL East. How did their once-ridiculed farm system create a lineup with this much significant length from unexpected sources? What do the Jays need to do at the trade deadline to maintain a 95-win pace? Was George Springer the biggest All-Star snub and what about Max Scherzer as a legacy selection? The MLB Draft is at hand and the Jays have had just 5 major-leaguers out of the last five drafts. And is it a PR disaster for ownership to jack the price of streaming Jays games by 30% in Sept? Then there’s the Ironbacks. Leave a review, like and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.  INDEX: Time stamp 7-11 0:00 Intro  1:04 The MLB Draft 4:58 The Jays Great ‘24 draft 8:40 Draft stories from the Past 12:38 Drafting Brett, Schmidt, and Dan Warthen back-to-back 15:13 Jays all-stars.

    THE BLUE JAYS ARE IN FIRST PLACE

    Coming off a break from the Exit Philosophy podcast, Griff and Mal return with plenty to talk about as the Blue Jays complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees to take over top spot in the resurgent AL East. How have the Jays gone from two games below .500 on May 28 to the current status of battling for first with the Yanks and Rays? What have been the biggest surprises for this Jays team over the first 88 games? Who are the most important players? What about the injuries? Did injuries to Anthony Santander, Andres Gimenez and Daulton Varsho, in fact, allow the team to discover some diamonds in the rough that have made this lineup deeper and stronger? Griff and Mal discuss the Blue Jays' major need at the trade deadline and the state of the starting rotation, given the iffy status of Max Scherzer and the likelihood Eric Lauer will suffer some sort of lull later in the year. Will they add an arm? The ’25 All-Star Game is almost at hand, and Vlad Guerrero Jr. has earned the starting nod at first base with Alejandro Kirk as the AL’s second catcher. Does Vlad’s season thus far warrant him being deserving starter? What should be the criteria for being an all-star? They discuss the MLB’s biggest trade of the year and the lingering anger in Boston over Rafael Devers being dealt to the Giants. Was Devers being selfish, or did the Red Sox front office mishandle the situation of Alex Bregman taking Raffy’s position with no discussion. Finally, there’s an Ironbacks report and update, after half a season at historic George Taylor Field in St. Catharines. Mal and Griff give their impressions on the newest team in the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. INDEX: 0:00 Intro   2:36 Other sports clear the way as Raptors fire Ujiri + Shai Gilgeous Alexander and growing the sport  8:29 Florida Panthers repeat Stanley Cup. How close were the Leafs? 10:23 The Blue Jays historic run of 33 games and reading into current slim run differential 17:36 Blue Jays four biggest surprise players  29:25 Analyzing the starting rotation in the age of Lauer and Scherzer 36:00 Biggest Potential Buzz Kills for the Jays hopes   42:50 Analysis of Rafael Devers deal to Giants. Selfish?   47:33 Vlad is the AL all-star starting first baseman. Should he be? 51:42 Niagara Ironbacks Update.
