Discussing the Blue Jays moves at the Winter Meetings with Gregor Chisholm

Guests: Toronto Star baseball columnist Gregor Chisholm, Sports Info Solutions Mark Simon

The Blue Jays had their busiest Winter Meetings in years: making a trade, signing a free agent and grabbing a pitcher in the Rule 5 draft. Gregor Chisholm joins us to discuss all the Jays’ doings in Dallas, and whether it’s the right move to continue to drill down on run prevention at the expense of run creation. They made the best defence in MLB even better by picking up Andres Gimenez, but did they make a below-average offence worse? And we drill down on Gimenez – the best defensive infielder in the game – with Fielding Bible guru Mark Simon.

Roundtable: The Jays in 2025, and beyond

Guests: Second City alumni Sandy Jobin-Bevans and Pat Smith, Actor/Director Stu Stone
