	Description:		Ben kicks off the show with Blake Murphy (1:00) as Jays fans and the Jays players themselves are so far disappointed in the lack of major deals at this point after watching the Yankees, Astros and Mariners all get better. They debate if this is a bad message to send to the club. Later on (27:00) we head to Tampa, FL where Shi Davidi is with the Jays ahead of the deadline. So far the deal with the Marlins has improved the bullpen and taken away some pressure on the other arms. Shi says that after looking at the prices for pitchers he thinks a depth starter is more likely than a top line starter. Finally, we keep it at the stadium in Florida as Jays analyst Pat Tabler (39:00) joins Ben with the deadline just minutes away. He describes what it's like being with the team and everyone is looking over their shoulder for a deal to happen. The pressure has mounted on Ross Atkins ever since the Yankees and others loaded up. Pat makes the case for deadline day being better if there were no games that night.
