Fresh off a turkey hunt and a round of golf in retirement, former Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak joins the show to reminisce about an 11-year career that featured stops in Texas, Seattle and a memorable five seasons north of the border.
Included in his Jays run is a pair of ALCS appearances and a career-best 38-homer campaign in 2017 that saw him start the Midsummer Classic in Miami.
In addition to some Josh Donaldson and David Price stories, Smoak talks about the 2015 club that was known for its chirpy personalities and a second half run that came up just short of the franchise’s first World Series appearance since 1993.
Enjoy the conversation with the laid back South Carolina native.
