Canada Soccer's Success + Blue Jays Shortcomings

The FAN Morning Show

Matt Marchese and Daniele Franceschi wrap up this week on The FAN Morning Show looking ahead to Canada's chance at third place in the Copa America tournament Saturday against Uruguay. They enlist the help of a man who has played for the program in the past, Canadian international goaltender and now part of the Footy Prime podcast, Craig Forrest! The trio discuss the bright spots they saw in this tournament from Canada, how far they have come already under Jesse Marsch and where they can still grow to compete with the best in the world. In the back half of this final hour, the morning duo take some time to talk baseball, starting with the phenomenon that is Paul Skenes (30:05). Blue Jays beat writer, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun and Postmedia, joins the conversations to talk about what Toronto faces heading into the deadline, next season and beyond. The trio discuss the shortcomings in development and in the farm system, especially under this current regime, and who currently on the team is part of the future. How soon can the Jays compete again?
