The past few days have been emotional at best for the Toronto Blue Jays, who still have an outside shot of claiming the American League's final Wild Card spot. Following Monday's victory in Houston, Toronto is 53-60 and just 4 games back of the last ticket to October. They also have 6 teams to leapfrog. So on that note, GM Ross Atkins had some tough calls to make. It began with Kevin Gausman's trade to the Chicago Cubs, then continued with Daulton Varsho's trade to nearby Houston, and then wrapped up with Jeff Hoffman's move to Minnesota. At the same time, the Jays have also acquired some younger pieces to help them win later, including starting pitcher Jose Soriano from the L.A. Angels. Can they save 2026, or has that ship sailed? And could these deals potentially hamper future success? Andrew Pinsent fills in for Bill and is joined by Jays Journal writer Matthew Sookram on The Morning Rush.
