Max & Vlad's Contract Steals + Yesavage's Ceiling

Ben and Brent reset on the Blue Jays' two standout stars of last night’s game: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Max Scherzer. The hosts start with the All-Star first baseman to debate how different this season would feel had they not signed him long-term. Could that third richest contract in MLB history be a steal for the caliber of player they’re getting? The duo debate if they, or anyone, could have predicted Scherzer would be contributing at this point of the season back when he signed his contract. Later, Ben and Brent dissect Trey Yesavage’s first Triple-A start last night in Buffalo and his habit of struggling when first moving up a level. MLB Pipeline’s Sam Dykstra (26:03) shares what has made him so effective and if it's realistic to expect Trey to make that final leap to the majors this season. They also pick Sam's brain about what has contributed to Toronto’s farm system making a big leap in the latest rankings.
