    The Jays Are AL East Champions + Wild Card Preview

    On this special solo edition of Exit Philosophy, the Blue Jays simply did what they had to do to win the AL East, knowing the powerful Yankees were likely to run the table against the O’s and the White Sox. The team concept of this group of Jays has likely made them the first No. 1 AL seed in years that other wouldn’t mind facing in a 5 or 7-game series. Griff breaks down payrolls of the 12 postseason qualifiers … and that doesn’t include the free-spending Mets. Finally, all four Wild-Card series are broken down and analyzed with a prediction for the best-of-three series.

    The Stagger into October

    The playoff-bound Blue Jays were once riding high atop the AL East, but a punchless 10-day spiral, a combination of frustration, panic, tough calls and poor internal decisions, now sees them tied with the confident Yankees heading to the Final Four games. Decisions like Berrios to the bullpen, Bieber pushed back a day, Bassitt to the IL, Manoah cut loose after 14 months of intense rehab from elbow surgery, multiple ejections, gloomy dugout views, umpire blaming and more. The final out of the Wednesday game seemed typical, with Alejandro Kirk thrown out at first base from right field on a 104.1 mph one-hopper to Wilyer Abreu. Griff and Mal talk strange roster decisions, disappearing offence, the new ABS Challenge System for 2026, tributes to Kershaw (Dodgers) and Arenado (Cardinals), historic collapses and more. As well, the boys try to bounce back with this week’s NFL Picks. Exit Philosophy will return on Monday with a special recap of the last weekend of the season.

    The Evil Empire North

    The new hate-on between Blue Jays and Yankees fans began with a catty observation by YES broadcaster Michael Kay and intensified lately with a calculated response from Buck Martinez questioning the Bronx Bombers. On this edition of Exit Philosophy, Griff and Mal discuss the role of Trey Yesavage, the future of Bo and Santander, the new leader in the clubhouse for AL manager of the year, the importance of the Jays at least winning one post-season series, the The impact of the Futures Showcase at Rogers Centre and more.  INDEX 0:00 Intro 0:24 Canadian Futures Showcase   6:04 In Memoriam Jim Baba, Ken Dryden, Robert Redford  13:20 Debut of Trey Yesavage and what can his role be.  18:32 Jays suggested post-season pitching staff 22:40 The impact of losing Bo and what to do about shortstop moving forward.  25:55 what to do with Santander  32:26 Jays vs Yankees.

    The Gausman Cometh

    The MLB most recent ranking of the Top 20 starting pitchers in the game does not include any Blue Jays, even though Toronto’s rotation, as a group, remains highly regarded.

Hall-of-Famer Pedro Martinez describes his reaction to the Yankees sign-stealing in the Bronx and his ear-flap solution. Who would be the worst matchup for the Jays in the post-season.
