Joined by 2x all-star closer Jordan Romano for another fun one, the Markham, Ont., product details his transition from minor-league starter to reliever, a move that changed the course of his career and has led to locking down the 9th inning for his hometown Toronto Blue Jays bullpen.
From the time he blew out his elbow on the mound and knew immediately he'd need Tommy John surgery to how his sister became more popular than him on social media to recently starting collecting baseball cards with his brother, the 30-year-old right-hander sits down for a wide-ranging 30 minutes ahead of another postseason run.

Our second guest on E7 of The SMS is Romano's batterymate Danny Jansen, who finished with a career-high 17 home runs in 2023, before a broken finger ended his campaign.
Unfortunately for Jansen, his career has been consistently marked by his time on the injured list, dating all the way back to his high school days, and that's exactly where the Blue Jays catcher sits as his club heads into the playoffs.
An under-the-radar prospect who was overshadowed by the rise of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, Jansen talks about his slow progression as a raw backstop out of Wisconsin and the simple change that allowed him to take off and reach the big leagues in 2018.
