Off-season risk vs reward moves & Vlad Jr. and the $300M+ question w/ Jonah Birenbaum

Drew is joined by Jonah Birenbaum, baseball hurler extraordinaire,
to cogitate over the Blue Jays' off-season to-dos. Contractually,
we can't publish a podcast without deliberating who should get the
bag, Marcus Semien or Robbie Ray...and why is it obviously Marcus
Semien? Drew and Jonah pitch some names back and forth for who
could step into a starting pitching role for Toronto next season.
What should the Jays brain trust do with Nate Pearson, and what
will be the bullpen's complexion in '22? The guys engage in a
jaunty convo about contract extensions for position players that
includes a $300M+ question about retaining Vlad Jr. Follow Drew on
