Former MLB player and manager Dusty Baker (0:24) joins Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker ahead of the official release of his book Crossroads on June 9. He discusses why he chose to write about his 50-year MLB journey, the influence of Felipe Alou and Cito Gaston, his favourite moments as a player and manager, and much more. Later, Sportsnet's voice of the Blue Jays, Dan Shulman, stops by (26:48) ahead of the team's important homestand against the Orioles, Phillies and Yankees. They discuss how the Jays can have more success against Baltimore, George Springer's recent instability at the plate, Louis Varland's usage, what he expects from Shane Bieber as he nears a return, and Nathan Lukes' scorching stretch since returning to the lineup.
