Around the Nest Blue Jays Minor League Podcast - 2021 Episode 13: Farm System Playoff Chances

Around The Nest is the weekly Toronto Blue Jays minor league podcast, hosted by Tyler Zickel of the Vancouver Canadians (high-A). On this episode, Zick is joined by Tyler Murray of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats (double-A) and the travelling man Andrew Thriffiley of the Dunedin Blue Jays (low-A).

This week, we get an update from each level from low-A up to double-A and also ask each host whether they believe their team would possibly make the playoffs this year.

You can find Around The Nest on YouTube, Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Stitcher.
