Trade deadline preview: Is a Semien trade possible? Relievers to target&a Gallo trade proposal - a podcast by The Athletic

This is the week that will determine whether the Blue Jays believe they are a postseason contender. Before Drew and Kaitlyn propose a bevy of trade hypotheticals, they recap Toronto's troubles in the Big Apple. Drew lays out his defense for the Jays' 'Process vs. Progress'. Although the club dropped a pair to the Mets, the reshuffled lineup was a spark of inspiration for Jays fans, including Drew. Should Vladdy eventually hit fourth? Ryan Borucki was exposed. How should the lefty be deployed moving forward? Alejandro Kirk's return was very Kirk-esque, a smoothie of blended hitting prowess and face-palming flubs. Kaitlyn then details her hypothetical Blue Jays trade proposal to the Rangers for Ian Kennedy, Joey Gallo and more. Plus, what would it cost to extend Marcus Semien? Is it time to consider trading him?
