Jays Deadline Plans and "Running it Back"

The FAN Morning Show

The final hour of The FAN Morning Show today starts with Brent Gunning & Daniele Franceschi discussing the common theme with Toronto teams and “running it back” after down seasons and believing in the “cores”. They look at which out of the major three (Leafs, Raptors & Blue Jays) seems to frustrate them the most. B&D then settle on the Jays and delve into what “running it back” next year means and could look like. They enlist the help of Sportsnet baseball insider & Jays reporter Ben Nicholson-Smith for his thoughts (8:13). The co-host of At The Letters tells the morning duo what he’s been led to believe the Jays & GM Ross Atkins’ main objectives are at the quickly approaching trade deadline, what it means and how “competing” in 2025 is at all viable. Brent & Daniele close the hour diving into some implications from the dispute between the CRA and John Tavares over his bonus money; how it could possibly affect athletes moving forward who want to play in Toronto and other Canadian cities (30:14).
