Do you hear that? It's the sound of a world without Jays' radio
broadcasts. Drew and Kaitlyn discuss Toronto eliminating its radio
broadcasts and, instead, deciding to simulcast its television
broadcast (3:00). Why is the organization doing this and how will
this affect your listening experience? Is not having a radio
broadcast detrimental to the team? The Athletic's Philadelphia
Phillies scrivener Matt Gelb joins Drew and Kaitlyn to wax poetic
about Dunedin, the golden capital of Toronto (20:30). Will homers
be a regular occurance in TD Ballpark? Matt shares his experience
in Florida at Phillies' Spring Training and describes the camp's
atmosphere (28:00). The trio also dives into Philadelphia's
off-season and its farm system before Kaitlyn serves a cold dish of
Oldtakesexposed to Matt (33:00). Afterward, Kaitlyn colors
Toronto's approach to player and pitching development and how it's
impacted arms like Robbie Ray (52:30). Follow Drew on Twitter:
