Episode 120</strong></p>
<p>Greg and Josh say goodbye to a disappointing Jays season with a look back at the news from the end of the season and the press conferences that followed. They discuss John Gibbons&#8217; departure and what type of manager the Jays are apparently looking at going forward, Aaron Sanchez&#8217; diagnosis, Ken Giles&#8217; &#8220;perfect&#8221; season, the team&#8217;s depth in position players and how that will be used in the offseason, how the position players can be upgraded simply with improved defence, the 40-man roster crunch, and Bo Bichette being pulled from the AFL. They also answer listener questions and give a Gold Star to the now-former manager.</p>

Episode 118</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/jay_jaffe" target="_blank">Jay Jaffe</a> of <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/author/jayjaffe/" target="_blank">Fangraphs</a> stops by to discuss Team Entropy and the chances for chaos as the rest of the MLB slate unfolds. He takes a specific look at the very tightly-packed National League which currently has five teams battling for three playoff spots. Greg and Josh also discuss the injuries to Aaron Sanchez and Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Roberto Osuna&#8217;s return to Toronto,  continued solid performances from Thomas Pannone and Ryan Borucki, some rookie success, Aledmys Diaz looking like a useful member of 2019&#8217;s team, and the uninspiring bullpen depth. Finally, they answer listener questions and give out a Do-Over to a former Blue Jay.</p>

<p>Greg, Josh, and Nick take a look at the last week and a half of the Blue Jays season. They discuss the Josh Donaldson trade in depth, including looking at the legality of it, the emotional reaction, and the quality of the return: Julian &#8220;PTBNL&#8221; Merryweather. They also discuss the Curtis Granderson trade, Rowdy Tellez&#8217; incredible debut run, playing time and outlook for other Jays callups, a mini-debate about calling up Vlad Jr., a look at John Gibbons&#8217; future, and the lack of useful projections for Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez going forward. They also answer listener questions and give a Gold Star to Todd Frazier.</p>
