Jays Journal Podcast - October 2. "Only The Young Can Say."

As the Toronto Blue Jays closed out what will long be remembered as an easily forgotten season with a 2-1 victory over the Bronx Bombers, many important questions linger that will substantially influence the mindset of fans as they brace themselves for a 2018 season of serious transition and identity re-alignment. 

We're overjoyed in having two of the best baseball bloggers and writers you'll find across North America; freelance writer and reporter for Metroland Media, Vice Sports, The Globe and Mail, and Sportsnet, Shawn W. Smith (@shawn_w_smith), along with the Jays Journal minor league guru and talent evaluator, Craig Borden (@Craigers1221).
