    Liz McGuire and Jason Lyons are taking over the studio! 🎙️

    Tonight, we turn our attention to the global stage. The 2026 World Baseball Classic is right around the corner, and the Blue Jays roster is well-represented. From Vladdy Guerrero Jr. finally suiting up for the Dominican Republic to our newest star Kazuma Okamoto defending the title with Team Japan, the Jays are going to be playing high-intensity baseball before Opening Day even hits.

    We discuss:

    - Vladdy’s Return: Why playing for the DR could unlock an MVP start to the season.

    - The Okamoto Factor: Getting our first look at the new third baseman on the world stage.

    * The "WBC Bump": Will playing in playoff-atmosphere games in March lead to a "Red Hot" start in April?

    Join Liz and Jason in the Bar Room as they break down the rosters and make their tournament predictions!

    📅 LIVE Tonight @ 7 PM EST

    Jan 22 2026

    The sun is shining in Dunedin, but some storm clouds are hanging over the Blue Jays front office. ☀️☁️

    Tonight, actress and die-hard Blue Jays fan Taylor Belford joins us LIVE to navigate these mixed emotions as we tackle the elephant in the room: The Blue Jays have officially missed out on re-signing Bo Bichette. We get Taylor’s reaction to the news and discuss where the team goes from here without their star shortstop.

    Plus, we down the "Spring Training Lifestyle." We discuss the best spots to hang out in Dunedin, FL, the magic of Spring baseball, and what it’s actually like to be down south when the team reports.

    Grab a stool and join us in the Bar Room chat! 🍹⚾️
