Is Vlad's success temporary, Teoscar defying expectations & players' willingness to change w/ Kevin Goldstein

Spin Rate: A show about the Toronto Blue Jays

What's been the secret ingredient in Robbie Ray's Cy Young-contending season? Are players that buy into a team's vision just as valuable as that one-in-a-million type of athlete? Former big-league executive, national writer for FanGraphs, and host of the 'Chin Music' podcast Kevin Goldstein joins Drew in answering these questions. Are there more thoughtful questions that the guys entertain, you ask? Yes! How about...Was Teoscar's baking soda and vinegar-like offensive eruption expected; what's Bo's rare, unteachable trait, and is Vlad's MVP-caliber season just a flash in the pan?
