Guests: Blue Jays top prospect Trey Yesavage, Gold Glove centrefielder Daulton Varsho, rehabbing Jays starter Alek Manoah聽
This week in Deep Left Field, we head down to the farm and talk to right-hander Trey Yesavage, the Jays’ first-round pick last July, as he prepares to make his debut with the Buffalo Bisons - the fourth team in the Jays’ system for which he has suited up in this, his first season in pro ball. The 22-year-old has allowed just 45 hits and notched a whopping 134 strikeouts in 80 2/3 innings this year at Dunedin, Vancouver and New Hampshire combined. He’ll start for the Bisons on August 14 and the big leagues will be the next stop. That final promotion could very well come as soon as next month.
We also chat with Alek Manoah following a disappointing rehab outing in Buffalo. The former all-star and Cy Young finalist is recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery and in the first Triple-A start in his rehab assignment, lasted just an inning and two-thirds.

Also, Daulton Varsho joins us to talk about watching from the sidelines as the Jays built the best record in the American League and then picking up right where he left off, power-wise, when he rejoined them.
