The Blue Jays' Chase and The Rays' Hold

Former MLB pitcher and current Tampa Bay Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson (2:03) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker to discuss how pitcher Nick Martinez has found his rhythm on the mound after years of switching between starting and bullpen roles, what Liam Hicks has brought to the catching and hitting core, how the Rays can become the best version of themselves and capture the AL East, and hitting coach Chad Mottola's ability to connect this his players. The guys hear from Blue Jays manager John Schneider ahead of the series against the Rays before bringing on Sportsnet's MLB columnist Shi Davidi (31:50) to chat about the rotation for the week, if there's concern with a dip in Dylan Cease's velocity, and can George Springer swing through his shoulder issues.
