TSN MLB Insider Steve Phillip joins First Up to discuss the Blue Jays bouncing back with a 7-0 victory over the Nationals yesterday afternoon. Phillips shares his thoughts on why he’d still be open to a long-term extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. despite his season-long struggles, why the Blue Jays will have to get greater contributions from their core players if they’re hoping to reach the playoffs, why the Angels putting their trade deadline acquisitions on waivers undermines the integrity of MLB, and more.
