On the final edition of Blair & Barker before the All-Star break, the guys break down the Blue Jays' uninspiring loss to the Kansas City Royals. The fellas question why the offense has gone silent, if the shake-up in the batting order in enough to spark some life, and the longevity of Alejandro Kirk's continued excellence. They are then joined by Jim Callis, senior writer for MLB Pipeline, to preview the MLB Draft this weekend including who we can expect to see off the board first, some of the major storylines leading up to the event, and what's on tap for the Blue Jays with the 23rd overall pick (31:57).

Finally, co-founder of Strata Athletics and former Raptors and 905 coach, Brittni Donaldson stops by to chat about the use of analytics in baseball compared to basketball, and shares Strata Athletics' mission of aiding youth sports and player's development (01:10:02).
