    Blue Jays Win Series, Kawhi Trade News and Celebrini Contract Talk | OTR Ft. Max Miller

    The Toronto Blue Jays finally won a series—but their margin for error is basically gone. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Toronto taking the rubber match in Washington behind a huge performance from Trey Yesavage, while asking whether this team has any realistic path back into the playoff race. The crew also debates whether the Jays made a massive mistake letting Eric Lauer walk and reacts to Vancouver taking another serious step toward pursuing an MLB expansion franchise. Then, the Kawhi Leonard saga somehow gets even messier. With Pablo Torre uncovering more alleged Clippers-related shenanigans and the NBA investigation holding up Toronto’s potential deal, should the Raptors finally walk away—or could this madness really drag into 2027? Plus, Sharks beat writer Max Miller joins the show following Macklin Celebrini’s historic five-year, $94 million extension, which carries a record-setting $18.8 million annual value. Did San Jose just lock up the NHL’s next face of the league, and what does the monster deal mean for the Sharks’ rebuild? The crew also examines a wild projected Maple Leafs lineup and asks the question Toronto fans will be debating all offseason: is this team actually better than last year?

    Blue Jays Lose 8-6, Top 10 Fall Offs and TFC Talk | OTR Ft. Kaitlyn McGrath

    The Toronto Blue Jays tried to pull off a miracle comeback, but Shane Bieber’s nightmare first inning proved too much to overcome in an 8–6 loss to Washington. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Bieber recording just two outs while allowing four runs and six walks, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leaving with right hamstring tightness, and another night that somehow went from disaster to almost unbelievable. Kazuma Okamoto launched his 24th home run to tie the Blue Jays’ rookie record, while George Springer crushed a three-run shot in the eighth to bring Toronto within two—but the comeback stopped there. Freelance MLB writer Kaitlyn McGrath joins the show to break down Bieber’s collapse, the latest concern surrounding Vladdy, and where this team stands as the trade deadline closes in. Then, Cabbie unveils his official Top 10 Fall-Offs, putting some of the biggest collapses in sports under the microscope. Plus, Toronto FC and the city’s other sports organizations face the ultimate red-flag test. Is “we like the group we have” ever a good sign? What about “our best addition is getting healthy” or “the analytics support this decision”?

    Blue Jays Take Series Opener vs. Washington + TFC Talk | OTR Ft. Bobby Blanco

    TThe Toronto Blue Jays finally gave fans something to celebrate—but apparently nobody was there to see it. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn break down Toronto’s series-opening win over Washington, Max Scherzer’s latest outing, another tense Jeff Hoffman appearance, and the bizarre comments from the Nationals broadcast about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Louis Varland. The crew also reacts to Orelvis Martinez stealing the first base of his career, good news surrounding Addison Barger, and another brutal injury update for Yimi García. Then, Washington beat writer Bobby Blanco joins the show to explain what is happening with the Nationals, what Toronto can expect for the rest of the series, and which players could become names to watch as the trade deadline closes in. Plus, the crew turns its attention to Toronto FC—and it is not pretty. After just 15 wins since Jason Hernandez became general manager, is this really the rebuild Keith Pelley promised, or has TFC become completely irrelevant in its own city? Add in Kevin Durant’s latest quote, Michael Kim’s ridiculous round of 59, and another Jimothy update, and this episode has a little bit of everything.

    The Toronto Blue Jays’ season may officially be cooked, and Off the Roster is breaking down everything from another crushing series loss to the Boston Red Sox. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s surprising comments, the growing sense that Toronto has reached the acceptance stage of a lost season, and the latest trade rumours linking George Springer to the Yankees. With Kevin Gausman once again saying he wants to stay and Max Scherzer taking the mound, is there anything left to salvage—or is the teardown about to begin? Then, the crew shifts to the NBA after LeBron James’ move to Philadelphia, debating what it means for his legacy, whether he instantly becomes the Raptors’ biggest villain again, and who truly owns that title across Toronto sports. Plus, Blue Jays legend Vernon Wells joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation about trade-deadline chaos, surviving brutal slumps, Toronto’s All-Star history, the possibility of an MLB lockout, the toughest day of his career, and plenty more.
