Ben starts with Ben Nicholson-Smith on the Jays' latest addition (Jordan Hicks), why the Cards got a great deal and how Toronto was willing to pay the cost for a great arm, even as a rental. Then a look at where they stand now ahead of tomorrow and what Ross Atkins is most focused on. Next up, Andi Petrillo on the Women’s National Team eliminated from The World Cup, why the men chose poor timing for their latest statement – plus – why this might not be the end for Christine Sinclair (26:27). Later, Jon Morosi sets up MLB deadline day, the case for the Orioles to pursue Justin Verlander and why Ben thinks the Jays should be in the mix (50:07). Next, Jim Callis, senior writer for MLB Pipeline discusses the players the Jays gave up for Jordan Hicks and why it was still worth the risk (1:15:32). Finally, former Orioles pitcher and current analyst Ben McDonald joins us from Rogers Centre to set up the series and explains why the O’s have been so good against Toronto (1:26:08).
