Gausman's injury underscores Jays' need for pitching at trade deadline & west coast trip preview

Spin Rate: A show about the Toronto Blue Jays

The Jays kick off their west coast swing after a miserable three-game stretch against the Rays. Drew and Kaitlyn share cliff notes from the Tampa Bay series before honing in on Kevin Gausman's injury. Though Gausman's future isn't totally in question, his absence still highlights Toronto's dearth of pitching depth. Is a left-handed bat still a need at the trade deadline? Berrios and Kikuchi deliver bounce-back performances. Pancakes the Dog chimes in about George Springer's mic'd up segment in the Jays game on YouTube before the crew wraps up the show by discussing the Canada Day festivities and the team's west coast trip. Our thoughts go out to Mark Budzinski and the Budzinski family.
