From the New York Mets' shocking collapse to the Los Angeles Dodgers' luxury tax manipulation, the hosts dissect recent performances and financial strategies. The Chicago Cubs' small-market approach comes under fire, while playoff predictions spark heated debate. Sully argues the current MLB economic structure pits "28 teams against the Mets and the Dodgers," potentially leading to future labor disputes.

The Toronto Blue Jays were able to win a series against the Chicago Cubs who are known for their prolific offense, by scoring a measly 8 runs through the three-game series. Vladimir Guerrero Jr is all the way back, launching a curveball over the wall to give the Blue Jays just enough offense to fend off the Cubs. Max Scherzer has looked like a demon in his last five games, which has really helped provide stability in the starting rotation. It is still known that the Blue Jays starting pitching is their weak point, but help is on the way. In this episode, Carter is joined by Skylar Peters to discuss the third game of the Cubs series, as well as what this starting rotation could look like when everyone is available. We bring you all the key moments, news and storylines surrounding everything Blue Jays right here, on Locked On Blue Jays.

Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Yimi Garcia, Anthony Santander, Alek Manoah, Jeff Hoffman, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Andres Gimenez, Daulton Varsho, Alejandro Kirk, Brayden Fisher, Max Scherzer, Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Jake Bloss, Nick Sandlin, Bowden Francis, Joey Loperfido, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes, Seranthony Dominguez, Christian Bethancourt, Louis Varland, Tommy Nance, Jonatan Clase, Tyler Heineman , Myles Straw, Shane Bieber, Easton Lucas, Paxton Schultz, Mason Fluharty, Eric Lauer

The Toronto Blue Jays drop the second game of the series against the Chicago Cubs 4-1. This was a reverse of the first game, as the Blue Jays were unable to muster any offense, with Cade Horton carrying a no-hitter into the 6th inning of todays game. Kevin Gausman gave us a great performance, giving up some hard contact but went seven innings and was very efficient. This was a stinker for the Blue Jays, and we’ll discuss how it happened by by bringing you all the key moments, news and storylines surrounding everything Blue Jays right here on Locked On Blue Jays.
