JD asks Ben Nicholson-Smith, Sportsnet's MLB insider, what he reads from Trey Yesavage’s shoulder impingement, what the next steps for José Berríos may be, the meritocracy of the starting rotation, what surprised him about the Opening Day roster, how the Jays could make up for a lack of historically powerful hitters, what he's noticed in the evolution of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and what he thinks is the most overlooked talking point heading into the season-opener.
