Blue Jays Happy Hour - Episode 109: Trade Deadline Reaction!

Blue Jays Happy Hour

MLB’s annual trade deadline has come and gone and, like a whole lot of other teams vying for playoff spots, the Blue Jays are better, but probably not better enough. Génesis Cabrera. Paul DeJong. Jordan Hicks. These names are unlikely to go down in history alongside ones like Henderson, Tulowitzki, or Price.

Of course, it’s not going to matter where they rank if the Blue Jays keep playing against their division rivals the way they did in their first game after trade season officially wrapped up on Tuesday night — which, thankfully, we only barely touched upon in this week’s episode.

What did we talk about? All things deadline, including Ross Atkins’ comments, Hicks and DeJong, possible help from the farm, the dark cloud of Bo Bichette’s injury that hung over the entire affair, and so much more!
