Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker check in on the final day of MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando. They react to Pete Alonso signing a 5-year, $155M deal with the Baltimore Orioles, follow up with some takeaways from Dylan Cease's introductory press conference yesterday, and revisit Shane Bieber's decision to pick up his player option. Cease's former manager and current Orioles instructor, Mike Shildt, joins the show (10:20) to share what the starter brings to Toronto, what he's like away from the mound, and a scouting report on a potential Jays target, Robert Suárez. Later, former MLB executive Thad Levine (31:27) shares his thoughts on the Jays' offseason so far, how the team navigates the José Berríos situation, a front office POV of Kyle Tucker, and the fundamental importance of roster turnover.
