My latest conversation with the inimitable writer, blogger, and baseball existentialist Tao of Stieb, whose literary prowess at Sportsnet is something to be savoured and enjoyed for those of you who appreciate the value of an honest and intelligent opinion.

We discussed his recent article (18 memorable Blue Jays moments from 2018), his thoughts on the gruesomely silent free agent market, the trials and tribulations of having two-thirds of the league in a non-competitive state, the dangers of an embittered and seething players union, why the aphorism "if you build it they will come" is ruthlessly ignored time and time again by front office executives, and what he expects from the team in 2019 and beyond.

Be sure to check out Tao of Stieb (@TaoOfStieb) on social media and be sure to read his latest articles and insights at Sportsnet.ca. It's about the most sensible thing you can do next to shaking your fists and yelling at a cloud in the sky.
