JFtC Radio Podcast Ep217: A Blue Jays New Year!
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 217 of our podcast. This week, we come up with a number of solutions for the Blue Jays outfield, particularly center field, which has not been addressed thus far in the offseason. From internal options to trades to free agents, there are a number of scenarios that could work and some that just won't. For fun, we offer up some New Year's resolutions and bring back our 'Would You Rather' segment!

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep216: A Blue Jays Christmas
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 216 of our podcast. This week, there are some rather interesting things to talk about this week. We’ve got the Blue Jays agreeing to terms with infielder, Travis Shaw and we’ve got some thoughts on that. Oh, and Hyun-Jin Ryu is now a Blue Jay!!! We’ve also got rumours connecting Toronto to old friends and that’s just a piece of juicy fruit waiting to be picked. So sit back and relax as we get sloppy with Episode 216 of JFtC Radio podcast.

JFtC Radio Ep215: Blue Jays' 2020 Reality
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 215 of our podcast. This week we sort through the drama this offseason has brought fans of the Toronto Blue Jays. It all started with comments from the front office, followed by continued rumours, which allowed our fantasies to take over and turn into perhaps unreasonable expectations. The moves the club has made so far have been less than explosive, to say the least. With lots of offseason left, we set realistic expectations for the 2020 offseason. We wrap up the episode with our 'Would You Rather' segment about the rotation.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep214: Blue Jays Rumour Reactions
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 214 of our podcast. This week, we vent about the presentation of rumours linking the Toronto Blue Jays to several key free agents, including Zack Wheeler, who signed in Philly for more money than Toronto would be willing to spend. This led us to a discussion on the Blue Jays' spending approach, which has been rather interesting. Of course, like all conversations about money, things get heated and complicated. Episode 214 has lots of great discussion and venting, so enjoy!

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep213- Blue Jays & Winter Waiting
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 213 of our podcast. This week, we're waiting for the Toronto Blue Jays to actually live up to the hype that they themselves have caused. After commenting that there is money and they will be aggressive, we're still left with very few actual moves made. Yes, it's early. But, yes, we want something shiny and new. We look at the moves they could make and why they may or may not happen. We also introduce a new segment designed to have some fun and get you thinking about this Blue Jays squad.
![JFtC Radio Podcast Ep212- Blue Jays Moves Aplenty](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/staging/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1579299/1579299-1553274844253-958969bd50f91.jpg)
JFtC Radio Podcast Ep212- Blue Jays Moves Aplenty
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 212 of our podcast. This week, AJ Andrews and Stephen Brown join Shaun Doyle for great discussions on the plethora of Blue Jays moves and rumours that have kicked off the offseason. From being linked to a Japanese slugger to claiming a late inning reliever to trading for a solid (?) starting pitcher, we've got so much to talk about in a rather enjoyable episode of JFtC Radio!
![JFtC Radio Ep211: Blue Jays Tender, or Not?](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/staging/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1579299/1579299-1553274844253-958969bd50f91.jpg)
JFtC Radio Ep211: Blue Jays Tender, or Not?
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 211 of our podcast. This week, we run down the list of Blue Jays' arbitration eligible players and decide whether they should be brought back for their projected price tag. You'll hear us weigh in on Ken Giles, Brandon Drury, Matt Shoemaker and even Devon Travis, which is a source of great agony for your JFtC Radio host. Essentially, the decision comes down to whether there is a need for each player...and whether he fills the need.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep210: Spending the Blue Jays Offseason Money
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 210 of our podcast. This week, we go shopping with the Blue Jays' money. After recent comments imply an increase to their payroll, we go looking for ways to spend money to compliment the rather nice core that has emerged. It is no secret the club needs to add pitching, but there are other needs to address, but money only goes so far, so we offer up some realistic targets. Our shopping excursion includes free agency as well as possible trade targets. Shopping is always fun when it is someone else's money, isn't it?

We also go around the diamond and discuss who is a lock for a position next year and who isn't. As the Blue Jays look to take a step forward, who has earned their spot as part of the core of a competitive future? All shall be revealed in Episode 209.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep207- Blue Jays Showing Signs of (Future) Life
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 207 of our podcast. This week, we touch on some news updates like Josh Donaldson making his return to Toronto. The Bringer of Rain has provided lots of memories for Blue Jays fans. From there, we discuss the improving defense, seemingly improving pitching, and whether it is enough to catch up with the bats. Perhaps, competing isn't so far away...or is it?

Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 206 of our podcast. This week, you'll hear us gush over T.J. Zeuch and his no hitter, or will you? We look at whether this is a sign of things to come or if it a one off for the Blue Jays prospect. What does his future hold in Toronto? From there, we run down who should get called up to the big leagues (and who won't) when rosters expand in September.
![JFtC Radio Podcast Ep205- Blue Jays Future is Now](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/staging/podcast_uploaded_nologo400/1579299/1579299-1553274844253-958969bd50f91.jpg)
JFtC Radio Podcast Ep205- Blue Jays Future is Now
Episode 205 of the Jays From the Couch Radio presents a love fest for the Toronto Blue Jays young stars. Led by Bo Bichette, the Blue Jays are an exciting team to watch and they're even getting fans excited about the future and when they will compete in the American League East. The question is whether this has been a good stretch, or is it the real deal? And, how close is this team to actually being competitive? Are we letting recent events cloud our judgement. All this and some waiver wire chat awaits your ears!

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep204- Blue Jays Trade Do Overs
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 204 of our podcast. This week, we lament the departure of Aaron Sanchez. He and Joe Biagini took part in an Astros no hitter and it makes you wonder if his value was higher than previously thought. Could the Toronto Blue Jays end up regretting this deal? In honour of this past Trade Deadline, we discuss some of the worst trades in franchise history and ones we'd like to do over.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep203- Blue Jays Post Deadline Special
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 203 of our podcast. This week, we break down the bizarre Trade Deadline the Toronto Blue Jays just went through.

We bring in a special guest to help us understand the trade with the Mets. Steve Farace of CineSports Talk and the Put it in the Books Show joins us to discuss the Mets point of view.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep202- Blue Jays WYD?
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 202 of our podcast. This week, we are left scratching our heads over whether the Toronto Blue Jays traded Marcus Stroman for a reasonable return. Receiving the New York Mets 4th and 6th best prospects sounds good on paper, but is this return as good as it could have been? Eric Sogard was also traded in the first of what is likely to be a series of Trade Deadline moves. The question is where the Blue Jays go from here.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep201- Blue Jays, Stroman, Sanchez, Pompey

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep200- Blue Jays Approaching the Trade Deadline
So, we’re celebrating Episode 200 of the JFtC Radio podcast and it comes at a time when the Toronto Blue Jays are terrible and we’re staring down the barrel of the MLB Trade Deadline. This year, there’s only one deadline and the Blue Jays are going to have to make the best of some interesting situations. To discuss this further, we have a great segment for you where you Twitterfiles have shared your thoughts about what will happen over the next 2 weeks.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep199- Blue Jays All Stars & Trade Bait
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 199 of our podcast. This week, we bask in the afterglow of the show Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on at the Home Run Derby. It makes you kind of excited about what the Toronto Blue Jays lineup could look like in a few years. Vlad would make a nice power bat to be surrounded by Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, the resurgent Danny Jansen and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Of course, discussion of the future leads to what will happen with Marcus Stroman, Justin Smoak and Ken Giles at the July 31st trade deadline, which is a rather great dialogue on the back end of Ep199 of the JFtC Radio Podcast.

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep198- Blue Jays on Canada Day

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep197- The Offensive Blue Jays
It's Episode 197 of the JFtC Radio podcast! We missed last week and even with that, we’re still more consistent than the Toronto Blue Jays offense. This week, about the only good news is that it is draft day and there is likely some nice little pick the front office will make that we can pine over. Because the big league club is about as brutal as can be. We’ll look at some offensive numbers, some minor league standouts and more!

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep196- Blue Jays Tank Show
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 196 of our podcast. This week has bee a rather disappointing one for the Toronto Blue Jays. Sure, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seems to have adjusted to the big leagues, taking home AL Player of the Week honours, but there has been little else to celebrate this week. Every facet of this team's game has been lacking and one has to wonder what in the world is going on. It's the kind of showing you'd expect from a team like the Marlins, but things don't seem to be going according to any kind of plan like we thought would happen. Or, is it possible that this IS part of the plan?

JFtC Radio Podcast Ep195- Blue Jays Gonna Blue Jay
Jays From the Couch Radio presents Episode 195 of our podcast. This week, we take on the unappealing task of examining the reality of the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays. They're struggling, but should it really come as a surprise? We look at bad hitting, bad defense and bad vibes. We check in on phenom, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. debate the value of certain trade chips, including Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez.

JFtC Radio Podcast: Ep194- Just Who Are the Blue Jays?
JFtC Radio presents Episode 194 of the Jays From the Couch Radio podcast. Previously, we thought the biggest story had to do with the injuries to the Toronto Blue Jays, but things have progressed since then. The club finds itself at .500 with one game left in April, which may or may not be surprising. As well, it seems there is a fresh new buzz around the club, but it isn’t all to do with our large adult son. We’ll dive into all of this in Episode 194 of the JFtC Radio podcast.

We start off with looking at the roster after the trade of Kevin Pillar. From there, we look at the offensive futility this team has shown thus far. From a massive amount of strike outs to looking absolutely lost, we try and figure things out. Of course, it isn't all bad. The pitching has been surprisingly good and we give credit there.
