Can the Blue Jays turn it around as the trade deadline looms? DeMarlo Hale weighs in

Guest: Blue Jays associate manager DeMarlo Hale

 

This week in Deep Left Field, we check in with DeMarlo Hale to assess the second third of what continues to be a disappointing and frustrating Blue Jays season.

 

The Jays won 25 of their first 54 games, then 24 of the next 54, so they head into the final third of the season (in which they're 1-0 so far) leaning heavily toward being sellers at the August 3 trade deadline.

 

Hale talks about what's gone wrong, what can and can't be fixed, and what he's looking for from the team over the season's final third.

 

Also, we dive into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca for your thoughts on Kevin Gausman's potential exit, the effect of Bo Bichette's departure, the upcoming trade deadline and more!
