Jays Journal Podcast - October 25. "Wise Man Sing."

With the Los Angeles Dodgers drawing first blood in their epic World Series feud with the Houston Astros, one can't help but the notice that the air is thick with nostalgia for what transpired around these parts roughly 25 years ago.

Our featured guest on this episode is one of the most celebrated sports journalists across this country and is a staff writer for Sportsnet magazine and Sportsnet.ca; Arden Zwelling (@ArdenZwelling) joins host Ari Shapiro to discuss:

If fans have any reason to believe in 2018 after a profoundly depressing year (2:30), how the Blue Jays must stay relevant during an off-season of powerful MLSE offerings (4:30), why Shohei Otani in Toronto shouldn't be considered beyond the realm of possibility (6:12), his thoughts on the future of Josh Donaldson (11:01), thoughts on Devon Travis and his injury status (13:20), why Marcus Stroman and his 6.0 WAR makes him the true leader of this team (15:45), Justin Smoak as potential trade bait (17:41), if the Jays starting pitching is good enough to contend for a second wild card spot (19:59), on Ryan Borucki and Danny Jansen (26:01), his anticipation of Vlad Guerrero jr. and Bo Bichette (28:45), baseball as a weak link sport vs. hockey (31:10), on Anthony Alford (33:31), and his thoughts on speed and athleticism when it comes to the future of this team's culture (35:02).
