2026 JAYS PANEL CHAT

Highlight clip from a live panel on the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays season, featuring my analysis of Bo Bichette’s move to the New York Mets and broader team narratives.

A live panel discussion focused on the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays season, where I contributed analysis and perspective on team dynamics and performance. I provided specific analysis on Bo Bichette’s move to the New York Mets, and identified reasons as to which resigning with the Toronto Blue Jays was not a perfect option for future seasons.

CHALLENGES:

  • How to communicate all panel ideas in an engaging way, and since it was live on air, it needed to be concise enough to fit in the allotted time but also provide enough information and analysis to viewers

SOLUTIONS:

  • Ensuring all panelists were on the same page in terms of content, that CUEZ rundown was accurate for the production crew, and that there was time for a run-through of the chat beforehand to ensure flow

ROLES

Panelist, Graphic Design, Pre-Production Lead

  • Led pre-production planning by researching team statistics, developing discussion points, designing visual board, organizing cuez for the live panel, and informing production crew of show structure
