Jays Centre Podcast

Owen and Jesse are BACK and they have a ton of thoughts after a busy Postseason that did not include their Blue Jays. They share their thoughts on that as well as the looming labour negotiations, before spending the vast majoirty of the episode anaylzing the shape of the roster when it comes to free agents and team needs. They dig into many potential fits in both the free agent and trade markets including Seiya Suzuki, Jazz Chisholm, Corey Seager, Ketel Marte and Tarik Skubal.

Owen and Jesse are proud (or not so proud) to look back on some pre-season over/under picks and bold predictions, some perfect, many hilariously wrong. Afterwards they get into the Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins press conferences and debate how much we should be taking and if they were satisified with what the two bosses had to say.

Through the rise and the fall of it all, it's over.    In the season finale of the Jays Centre Podcast, Owen and Jesse reflect on the final series of the Blue Jays season, the end of George Springer's six seasons as a Toronto Blue Jay, and Max Scherzer going out in style.    They take a big-picture look at the Toronto Blue Jays and explain why there should still be optimism on this team despite subpar on-field performance, then highlight some of their favourite games/moments of the season before looking ahead to the 2026 playoff picture and picking some winners.    Please subscribe for more Toronto Blue Jays analysis, news, rumors, prospect coverage, and more.

Vladimir Guerrero's quote put Owen and Jesse in a pretzel. The guys talk big picture about the Jays' inability to transition out of the Bo Bichette era in year one, and the Jays officially being eliminated from 2026 postseason contention, but they quickly transition into their thoughts about Vladdy Guerrero Jr.'s quote that has sent Blue Jays fans into a spiral. Owen shares details about his trip to Baltimore, and the guys wrap up the penultimate episode of the 2026 season.

The Jays needed to make a statement and put up a fight for their playoff lives, but ultimately, they didn't. On this episode of the Jays Centre Podcast, Owen and Jesse lay out their grievances with the Toronto Blue Jays season, essentially saying goodbye to any playoff hopes, and explain why missing the postseason means more than a lost season.  They share their thoughts on Dylan Cease's drop in velocity and whether there is any concern about the Jays misusing him and what it might mean going into 2027. They share some highlights of young surprises out of the bullpen before looking ahead to the last week of baseball before the off-season begins.
