Birds All Day

In a special edition of Birds All Day, former Blue Jays manager John Gibbons joins the show to look back at his two tenures as the Jays skipper, including what stood out about the 2006 team (8:18) and they key to success in 2015/16. Gibby also chats bullpen philosophies and his thoughts on the opener, the modern relationship between manager and front office, his new gig as special assignment scout for the Braves, and much more. Plus, growing skepticism about baseball's potential to return this year, and as we continue to remember some guys, we discuss Stoeten's piece on the best Blue Jays by number and who was left off the list.
