Lighting Candles in Kansas City + Rex Hudler

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker get set for the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. They look at the AL Wild Card standings before discussing Anthony Santander commencing rehab games in Triple-A, Trey Yesavage nearing a return, what to expect from the bottom of the rotation in Kansas City, and signs that Vladdy Jr. is on the verge of a hot streak. Later, Royals TV analyst Rex Hudler (23:36) stops by to discuss the role the weather plays at Kauffman Stadium, how the Jays can attack starter Daniel Lynch IV, Bobby Witt Jr.'s up and down season, Jac Caglianone and Carter Jensen's potential, and Kansas City's path back to the playoffs in 2027.
