From first-to-worst performances, a Blue Jays year-in-review with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Clare Blackwood and Conor Bradbury
Guests: Canadian television icon Paul Sun-Hyung Lee; Clare Blackwood, The Beaverton; Second City alumnus Conor Bradbury This week in Deep Left Field, we gather a roundtable of Blue Jays fans from the stage and screen to do a year-in-review of the Jays' first-to-worst performance in 2026. Along the way, we reflect back on the 2025 World Series, the early and late disappointments - with some excitement in the middle - of this past season, and the roster decisions that have saddened some Jays' fans who don't want to break up the band quite yet. We also talk about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s terrible season, and the fans' reaction to it, and Paul gets angry about the impending lockout.

Dave Stieb, the greatest Blue Jay ever, and we give the champion Milwaukee Brewers their due
Guest: Dave Stieb, the greatest Blue Jay in club history (according to the Toronto Star Top 50We ranked the top 50 greatest Blue Jays of all time) This week in Deep Left Field, we present to you the greatest Blue Jay of all-time. Dave Stieb joined us to talk about his place in the Jays' Hall of Excellence, some of his great teammates and an incredible career that goes mostly unacknowledged south of the border, though we all know and appreciate what he did up here. Also, we give the champion Milwaukee Brewers their due. They were the best team in MLB during the regular season and lost only once on their way to the World Series, where they dominated the best the American League could offer in the Tampa Bay Rays. And we open up the mailbag - which will be looking for your contributions all off-season - atdeepleftfield@thestar.ca!

Meet the Blue Jays' 2026 rookie of the year and unsung hero
Guests: Blue Jays 2026 Rookie of the Year and 2026 Unsung Hero This week in Deep Left Field, we continue to present the Blue Jays 2026 award winners as voted by the players, coaches, front office and support staff. Unlike last week, when only one interview was required to hear from both the Jays' 2026 MVP and Pitcher of the Year (since they were the same guy, Dylan Cease), the Rookie of the Year and Unsung Hero are different people, although they were both rookies. You'll hear from both of them in this episode. As well, you get my thoughts on how the post-season is unfolding, and how the Milwaukee Brewers' NLCS success could put the lie to ownership's contention that big-payroll teams are guaranteed championships and, therefore, a work stoppage is necessary so that a game-saving salary cap can be implemented. Also, I go over the Jays' five Gold Glove finalists. All that, plus your thoughts in the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

You'll hear from the player the Jays voted their Most Valuable and the Pitcher of the Year! Also, we get to know Tristan Peters, the Winkler, Manitoba native who burst onto the major-league scene this year to become an all-star in his rookie season and is currently trying to get his Chicago White Sox past the Cleveland Guardians and into the American League championship series.

What went wrong — Shapiro and Atkins on the Jays' disastrous 2026 season
This week in Deep Left Field, we dive into the end-of-season post-mortems held by Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro and general manager Ross Atkins on Wednesday. We break down what Shapiro had to say about his feelings watching the heart-warming final weekend of the Jays' miserable season and about the looming labour dispute. Then we wade through what Atkins said about having baseball's worst offence in 2026, with an emphasis on what he saw from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., how the Jays plan to help him find his way out of it and much more!

Guests: Blue Jays outfielder George Springer, pitcher Max Scherzer, catcher Brandon Valenzuela, associate manager DeMarlo Hale This special bonus episode of Deep Left Field comes to you as the Blue Jays wrap up what's been a frustrating and disappointing season with an incredibly emotional Game 162, leaving their fans with a good taste in their mouths for what promises to be a long off-season. We'll hear from Max Scherzer, who turned back the clock Sunday, and George Springer, who picked up a double in his final game with the Jays, about treasuring their time in Toronto and dealing with the feelings of what could have been their last game in the big leagues. Brandon Valenzuela, who caught Scherzer's masterful effort, joins us to talk about it (and fight back tears) and Jays' associate manager DeMarlo Hale is here to break down a truly ugly season that no one saw coming.

From contenders to eliminated: what went wrong with the Blue Jays
Guest: Toronto Star baseball columnist Gregor Chisholm This week in Deep Left Field, the Blue Jays playoff dreams have been extinguished. What looked only a couple of weeks ago like a team that had another playoff run in it has limped to the finish line, with 11 losses in 16 games through Wednesday's doubleheader sweep in Baltimore in which the Jays were mathematically eliminated after the first game. My Toronto Star Blue Jays beat partner Gregor Chisholm joins me to dissect what went wrong in the Jays' quest to defend their American League pennant, from injuries and underperformance to poor roster construction that led to overreliance on certain players. We also get into Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s viral comments about his contract. All that, plus your thoughts in the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!
