BJN Radio – Ep. 235: Vladdy’s next contract, Joey Votto’s Bisons debut, Charlie Montoyo’s next gig, and more!

The Toronto Blue Jays had a rough time with the top two teams in the American League East this week, as they won just two of seven games against the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees.
We talked about the games in Baltimore and New York, the debut of Joey Loperfido, Addison Barger hitting his first big-league home run, Aaron Judge getting intentionally walked in the second inning, and whether there’s any reason to worry about José Berríos.
After that, we talked about Joey Votto’s debut with the Buffalo Bisons and what the plan is for Toronto’s top two draft picks. We also looked at Yusei Kikuchi’s first start with the Houston Astros, the historic losing streak of the Chicago White Sox, and the draft lottery standings.
