Blue Jays Happy Hour: Episode 108 - Pre-deadline vibes

Above you’ll see a picture of Danny Jansen, who was barely mentioned in this week’s episode of Blue Jays Happy Hour, but probably could have been! Jansen’s been swinging a hot bat lately, and is part of the reason the mood of the fan base is doesn’t seem as bad as it could be after a 3-3 west coast road trip that just as easily could have been 6-0 or 1-5.

Anyway, what did we talk about on this week’s episode? With the trade deadline coming up, naturally much of our focus was there. Plus, we got into those ever-present vibes, Trent Thornton, the Génesis Cabrera acquistion, Jay Jackson's surprising emergence, Alek Manoah's progress, Shohei Ohtani, payroll stuff, 2009, and so much more!
