  • Diving Deeper Into Jays and Leafs
    Jul 3 2024

    The FAN Morning Show with Brent Gunning and Daniele Franceschi enters its final hour focused on Toronto sports teams with some decisions to make. Sportsnet's own Shi Davidi kicks things off with a discussion about the Blue Jays' bullpen status, including who needs to step up in bigger roles and what names could be shopped to get some value back. Later, the trio debate if George Springer is better situated in the middle of the line-up than at the top, along with what Bo Bichette “finding it” could mean for the team. Later, Luke Fox of Sportsnet shifts gears to the Maple Leafs to help dissect GM Brad Treliving's signings, how handcuffed he is to do more within the salary cap, and what other moves may be on the horizon (26:35). To wrap up, Luke takes some time to look at the future of John Tavares with the franchise; if he’ll still be wearing the “C” at the start of the season and how motivated he will be going into a contract year.

They talk about what brought this on, and the long history of it in the league.
