Mark Shapiro joined Bob McCown and Arash Madani for Prime Time Sports on The Fan 590 last night to discuss a wide range of Blue Jays topics, and the takeaways offer more good than bad.

He also told McCown that the Blue Jays were still actively engaged with teams on the trade market and monitoring the remaining free agents.
