The Blue Jays are on the brink.
After an 8-6 loss to the Nationals, Toronto falls to 49-59, sits further behind in the Wild Card race, and with the trade deadline just days away, the biggest question is becoming impossible to ignore: Is it finally time to sell?
On game preview 109 of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down a disastrous outing from Shane Bieber that may have completely changed his trade value, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s injury, and what another frustrating loss means for the Blue Jays' deadline plans.
Dan will also discuss whether Bieber's six-walk first inning officially takes him off the trade market, why Toronto's inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position continues to haunt them, and whether Trey Yesavage can give the Blue Jays exactly what they need in the series finale: a true stopper performance.
Also on today's show:
⚾ Kazuma Okamoto ties the Blue Jays rookie home run record, Brendan Little's impressive relief outing
⚾ Can Trey Yesavage bounce back after an inconsistent July?
⚾ Where could Kevin Gausman be traded before the deadline?
⚾ Could the Cubs or Braves emerge as realistic landing spots for Blue Jays veterans? With a taxed bullpen, all eyes turn to Trey Yesavage.
Can he deliver six-plus innings and help the Blue Jays salvage the series, or are we watching the final days before a major deadline sell-off? We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.
