NHL Offseason + MLB Trade Season

The FAN Morning Show

THE FAN Morning Show’s second hour is all about the moves needed to be made by Toronto teams. Hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning start in the NHL where with the Stanley Cup awarded, it is officially the offseason. The duo look at some names around the league that are in line for extensions before the final year of their contracts. The main two are Leon Draisaitl and Mitch Marner. They wonder if one affects the other, especially the one that just won a Stanley Cup affecting one that’s in flux with his current squad. The two dive into what realistic Leafs options are regarding Marner and recap what reports have been out there in relation to them; they wonder if they should expect a resolution to the situation ahead of the draft this Friday and if not, is a move more or less likely to happen after July 1st. They also look at the super strong numbers Game 7 of the Cup Final did and if maybe playing so long into the calendar year helped that at all. Second half of the second hour returns to talking baseball as the hosts welcome on MLB Network’s Jon Morosi (26:16). The trio look at the upcoming trade deadline, the current standings and where the Blue Jays sit amidst it all; what should determine if Toronto sells, who from the Jays there would be the most interest in and which teams would be in the market for them. They also examine what return would be needed in order for TBJ to part with their two biggest assets and superstars. The hour ends with the daily Wake and Rake which focuses on the rubber match between the Blue Jays & Red Sox tonight.
