Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker share their reaction to the Blue Jays' roster moves including reinstating Alejandro Kirk, recalling Davis Schneider, Daulton Varsho placed on the IL and designating Tyler Henieman for assignment before bringing on the Jays' manager John Schneider (2:24). The skipper explains some of the moves, Shane Bieber's status, how he will balance the workload for Kirk and Brandon Valenzuela, if he would consider moving George Springer back to the outfield, Vlad Jr.'s struggles against the breaking ball, if he's had conversations with Max Scherzer about his future, and Trey Yesavage's second outing against the New York Yankees. Then, Jeff and Kevin chat about Bieber's recent rehab start and why fans should trust the management team to handle Scherzer's next steps.
