Blue Jays Podcast #52: The Holiday Edition

Jays Journal brings you Ep 52 of the Jays’ Nest Podcast. This week we discuss the Toronto Blue Jays recent roster moves and news and have some holiday fun!

Episode 52 of the Jays’ Nest Podcast features some great discussion about recent (not very exciting) roster moves from the Toronto Blue Jays. The moves are more about providing depth in the organization and fielding a team at the AAA level. We had some holiday fun with a look in at players’ holiday fun and what they’d ask Santa for. We also create a game called “Guess the Alias”. This week’s reader questions look at the possibility of trading some big bats a possible target and our wish list.

We want to thank you for making the Jays’ Nest Podcast one of the higher ranking podcasts in iTunes! Enjoy your holidays!

Jays’ Nest- Jays Journal- Podcast about Toronto Blue Jays – Jays’ Nest #52- The Holiday Edition

In This Week’s Episode:

• I confess my change in opinion over the Blue Jays’ 2016 outlook. Last week, I was pretty negative on the whole offseason. This week, I have seen the light.

Toronto Blue Jays

• Those pining for Rogers Centre to be adorned with natural grass had their dreams crushed this week. We provide our take on the whole situation.
• We break down some of the key roster moves the club made over the last week including Brad Penny, Roberto Hernandez and Junior Lake.
• We had some fun checking in on a couple players and their holidays thus far. Warning: what you hear may or may not represent actual holiday conversations.
• We took a guess at what some Blue Jays players might be asking Santa for. It’s an entertaining list of hypothetical wishes.
• In honor of the club signing HErnandez (who used to be known as Fausto Carmona), we played a little game of “Guess the Alias”. We presented alternate identities for a few players, dropping hints along the way as to who they really are.
• We took a few reader/listener questions about trading Jose Bautista and/or Edwin Encarnacion, about kicking tires on Scott Kazmir and what gift of a roster move we’d like the club to bestow upon us.

The Jays’ Nest Podcast is a weekly show hosted by Keegan and Shaun, featuring recaps, news, opinion, analysis, special guests, and more.
