Arjun Nimmala Gets Promoted + Jays Return to the Trop

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Vancouver Canadians' Jose Mayorga (3:11) to chat about the promotion of No. 3 prospect in the Blue Jays organization Arjun Nimmala to Double-A, his development at shortstop and running the bags, how coachable he is, his advice to Arjun in playing in a league up, pitchers Johnny King and Holden Wilkerson's developments on the mound, and if he's seen a difference between the current group of players compared to previous years coming through the organization. Then, Kevin shares his experience getting promoted, playing in the minors and when we can expect Nimmala to play in the Majors. Later, former MLB pitcher and Tampa Bay Rays TV analyst Brian Anderson (28:00) stops by to discuss the differences between the 2026 team and the AL East-dominating rosters of the past, Nick Martinez's reliance on his secondary pitches this season, Bryan Baker's success in the 9th inning, and Drew Rasmussen's fastball usage.
