Mike Sonne of The Athletic stops by to discuss the Blue Jays pitchers. He breaks down the Stuff reports for trade candidates, J.A. Happ, John Axford, Seung-hwan Oh, and Tyler Clippard as well as starters Aaron Sanchez and Marcus Stroman, before also discussing how John Gibbon’s bullpen usage has affected the Fatigue Unit scores of the key relievers. Finally, Dr. Sonne goes in depth on the Blue Jays bucking the league-wide trend of throwing more breaking balls. Greg and Josh also discuss Happ’s recent rough patch and its effect on his trade value, Justin Smoak’s return to form, Yangervis Solarte’s position on the market, Vlad Jr’s pending call up, Oh’s recent dominance, and Borucki’s continued success.
