It was a disappointing weekend for Jays fans, and understandably so, however, there's a silver lining to all this stink; you get to listen to Drew and Kaitlyn rehash all the highs and lows! OK, well, maybe not so much silver as a nickeled lining...anyway. The voices of Spin Rate discuss the three-game series versus the Mariners, including Friday's game-winning walk and the inconsistent pitching that went along with it as well as George Springer's injury. What will the lineup look like with Springer sidelined? The Viceroy of Vibes, Teoscar Hernandez, has blossomed into an unexpected contributor for Toronto in recent years but does his potential and current production outweigh his shortcomings? Drew and Kaitlyn deliberate Hernandez's value. Lastly, a look ahead to this week's series.

Drew and Kaitlyn check the tread on your tires and oil level before taking off in this Blue Jays off-season primer vehicle. The podcasting pair bring attention to key dates this off-season; one such date being MLB Free Agency and the "quiet period", where the most recent team a free agent suited up for has exclusive negotiating rights with that player. Could Toronto ink Steven Matz before he hits the open market? Speaking of markets, what does Matz's look like? The duo's conversation keeps with starters, as Robbie Ray is a free agent, too. Will the AL Cy Young candidate stay in Toronto? Drew and Kaitlyn also kibbitz about other Jays who could be retained, including Corey Dickerson. To wrap, Spin Rate names its winners for MLB awards.
