Shane Bieber

You're the Blue Jays expert.

Tell me if I'm an idiot that I still have him, but is Shane Bieber, like, why am I still holding him? Is he coming back or is that just totally stupid?

You're an idiot.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

I figured that was totally – I'm like, I saw I had him.

I'm like, why do I have Shane Bieber still on the team? Okay.

That's good to know.

I don't know how much of a contender he's going to be to make some meaningful starts or appearances down the stretch.

Ditto for Shane Bieber.

Like there's no savior is what I'm telling you to come out of nowhere to save this team.

It has to be Dylan Cease.

They'll take anybody they can get, especially somebody like a Trey Savage.

Just looking at the news and notes here a bit, Jamison Tyone likely done and the rotation basically being held together by C Soriano Scherzer.

And then, you know, goes on to say that, again, they need these guys to come back, whether it's just Savage or Shane Bieber, who's also progressing through from about 75 feet.

I don't know how close we are to seeing him.

Like, he was dog shit.

And unfortunately for the Blue Jays, again, because guys are so injured, and there really hasn't been much of an update on, like, a Shane Bieber.

Like, that's the one guy I want back.

I know there's conversation about Cody Ponce.

in Trey Savage.

Boy, oh boy, would the Blue Jays look a bit different, especially if Savage came back.

You never know with a Shane Bieber, too, and maybe you're in business.

Again, you have that bulldog in Dylan Cease.

So that added to the workload.

And yeah, my claim to fame is the one year I did it, Shane Bieber won the signing award.

So I've got that to put on my tombstone someday.

Well, congratulations.

And let's start with here.

So the Blue Jays injury notes per John Schneider, including Trey Savage, Anthony Santander and Shane Bieber.

Let's start with you, Savage.

He pitched a two up 30 pitch live BP a couple of days ago at the player development complex.

Michael Saunders, I remember, is the biggest example.

Shane Bieber, we saw, and Mal and I talked about it when he was at spring training, and they said, well, he's not going to be ready for opening day.

It'll be a little bit of a delay, and the little bit of a delay stretched into June and July, you know? And so they're saying...

bieber is throwing from no your savage was throwing from flat ground now he's okay i guess he's throwing from a mound or whatever but still there's no if spring training takes as long as it does to prepare a player to be ready these guys on the il including santander who's now at Buffalo on a rehab option.

I

think with Ponce and if...

if Shane Bieber made that decision to bet on himself for one more year and they got him at a reasonable price, do you think that would sort of solidify a rotation six or seven deep instead of just five?

Yeah, because I think...

But I will say, if it wasn't for Max Scherzer, where the hell would this team be right now? Because they have two starters that they trust, and then Max Scherzer.

If they didn't have Scherzer there eating the innings that he has been over the last month or so, I mean, Shane Bieber's on the IL.

Trey Savage is on the

IL.
