While Justin and Patrick were recording, Max Scherzer signed a 1 year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. It's the first time in BFMD history the guys were able to discuss breaking news during the show!

What does this signing mean for the team? What more do they need to do in the two remaining weeks before Spring Training begins?

Justin and Patrick are back to discuss the Toronto Blue Jays signing Anthony Santander to a 5-year contract.

Days after losing out on Japanese superstar Roki Sasaki who chose the Dodgers the Jays finally managed to make a free agent splash.

The guys debate whether or not the Myles Straw trade made sense, and whether or not Pete Alonso makes sense for the team.

The Blue Jays are bringing back 2014 first round Jeff Hoffman on a 3-year deal to help anchor the back end of the bullpen. Hoffman was traded to the Rockies in 2015 in the Tulo deal.

Justin and Patrick discuss the impact he will have in 2025, and provide updates on the remaining free agent relief pitching options.

The guys review the arbitration numbers for Vladdy, Varsho, Kirk and the other 4 Blue Jays who agreed on terms, and discuss the Vladdy and Bo extension situation.

Justin and Patrick recap their holidays by discussing food, family time, and chocolate.

The guys then look at the 24% of the vote that is currently known for the Baseball Hall of Fame to see how Ichiro, Sabathia, Wagner, and others are trending.

Note: Patrick got a new mic so we are still fine tuning the levels! It will improve next episode.

With Christmas a handful of days away Justin and Patrick sit down with pens, paper, and a mug of hot chocolate to write their letters to Santa.

The guys wish for contract extensions, home run hitting outfielders, high end starting pitching, and a lot of bullpen help.

Have a safe and happy holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Note: this episode was recorded in late November prior to the Juan Soto signing and Horwitz/Gimenez trade.

To officially wrap up their 2024 recap series Justin and Patrick take a look at what happened with the Buffalo Bisons.

The guys discuss Alan Roden, Will Robertson, Andrew Bash and Orelvis Martinez. Will Martinez and Roden make MLB impacts in 2025?

The Blue Jays had a busy day! One day after missing out on Juan Soto who signed with the Mets, the Blue Jays pivoted and signed Yimi Garcia. Then they traded Spencer Horwitz and an outfield prospect to the Cleveland Guardians for Andres Gimenez and Nick Sandlin.

Justin and Patrick react to the trade and discuss what it means for the future. Will Gimenez eventually replace Bo Bichette? Where does Yimi fit in? Will the Jays still sign a big name like Corbin Burnes or Anthony Santander? Is a Teoscar Hernandez reunion likely or can the Jays make a splash with Pete Alonso at DH?

Justin and Patrick keep the minor league recaps going with the Toronto Blue Jays Double-A affiliatle Fisher Cats.

The guys discuss an overall disappointing season for the Cats and highlight Rainer Nunez and Trenton Wallace.

Next up, Buffalo!

Barring any breaking news (we know Soto is a Met) you'll see the Buffalo episode opn the weekend.
