First, we’re joined by Sportsnet Fan 590 radio host and one of the classiest professionals in the business, Roger Lajoie (@TheRog590), who visits with host Ari Shapiro to discuss his thoughts on the Blue Jays 2017 season, the future of Josh Donaldson, and how fans should feel about team ownership moving forward.
