JD and Ben Nicholson-Smith, MLB insider and Sportsnet Blue Jays reporter, debate if the Blue Jays season is teetering and if they have a team identity. JD asks Ben about Dalton Varsho's injury, if Jeff Hoffman's role could change after blowing another save, and Eric Lauer's honest comments about having an opener.
