Why didn’t the Blue Jays sign Robbie Ray? (Ep. 172)
It’s officially #LockoutSzn, but we’re not going to let Major League Baseball’s first work stoppage since 1995 get us down. Mark, Bryson and Jacob discuss Robbie Ray’s five-year, $115 million deal with the Seattle Mariners and why the Toronto Blue Jays chose Kevin Gausman over Ray. Was it because of Ray’s opt-out and no-trade clause? Is Ray unvaccinated? Or maybe the Blue Jays just prefer Gausman over Ray? Also discussed: The absurdity of a potential deal with Freddie Freeman, why the Blue Jays should target Kris Bryant and what Toronto still needs to do this offseason.
Next week, the lockout talk will begin.
