Here’s how the conversation unfolds:

• Ben and Arden begin by taking stock of the Blue Jays’ middle infield, including their relatively uninspiring shortstop options (0:33) and the return of Devon Travis (6:18).

• The Rays started two games with reliever Sergio Romo over the weekend, prompting the question of whether the Blue Jays would ever try that kind of strategy (10:42).

• Dan Shulman then joins ATL to discuss Mike Trout, Josh Donaldson, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the state of the 2018 Blue Jays (23:10).
