The Midway Pod: Jays draft Hoglund; collapse or surge in second-half; time for Joey Gallo & Vlad for Ohtani?

Spin Rate: A show about the Toronto Blue Jays

As an homage to the Barenaked Ladies, I'm learning more and more about Canadian pop culture every day, "it's been one week since" you've listened to Drew and Kaitlyn together and, much "like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy". Ole Miss pitcher, Gunnar Hoglund, was drafted 19th overall by Toronto in the MLB First Year Player Draft. Kaitlyn shares what she knows about the Jays' latest prospect, and details how the front office and scouting department perceives him. What's will more likely happen to Toronto in the second half of the season; will they collapse, surge forth, or remain unchanged in the last portion of the year? Is it fathomable the Jays trade for Joey Gallo? How would he affect the Jays? Lastly, Drew determines if he'd trade Vlad Jr. for Shohei Ohtani.
