The 3-0 Show | A Deep Dive Into the Blue Jays & A Look at the AL East
Kaitlyn McGrath joins DVR and Eno to discuss the Blue Jays — is this team better than the 2022 version? With more depth in the rotation and bullpen, will the position player core come through and become one of the most feared offenses in baseball again down the stretch? Plus, they take a quick look at the rest of the AL East, where the Orioles are the most likely team to clinch a bye in the first round of the playoffs, and the Yankees have fallen to long shot status to reach the postseason.
