The FAN Morning Show Sportsnet

The final hour of The FAN Morning Show today revisits Mitch Marner's current situation with the Maple Leafs. Hosts Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning are joined early in the hour by Hockey Hall of Famer, Adam Oates, to get his thoughts on the microscope Mitch was under in the playoffs and if the criticisms of him were fair. The trio also look at how power play failures can cost a team in the postseason, the quick adjustments coaches need to make to have success, and what an off-season looks like for a player trying to hone their skills, before offering some insight on what his former teammate Craig Berube brings to the Blue and White. In the back half of the hour, Sports Emmy Award winner and MLB Network analyst, Adnan Virk stops by to share his take on the American League East (27:10). They discuss the ripple effects on the Blue Jays' lack of run production, the strength of teams like the Orioles and Yankees, if Juan Soto will wear pinstripes for the rest of his career and how fun the duo of him and Aaron Judge is to watch. Sorry, Jays fans.

B&B also take some time to pick Ren’s brain on the off-season decisions facing the Leafs including Mitch Marner's value around the league, GM Brad Treliving's patience in situations like these, and more. Later, the boys head to Milwaukee with TV voice of the Blue Jays, Sportsnet’s Dan Shulman, to tee up the rubber match of Toronto's series with the Brewers (25:15). They look at how the lineup has changed with the insertion of Spencer Horwitz, the growth of Yusei Kikuchi in his time with the Jays, and the team's postseason chances despite still hovering around the .500 mark. The trio also delve into the decisions the team face ahead of the trade deadline; what options are on the table, their biggest needs, and what they need to show before making moves either way.

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning look at the impending free agency of MLB superstar Juan Soto. They dive into a New York Post piece yesterday speculating that the Blue Jays could be in on Juan Soto this upcoming offseason after their attempts to acquire Shohei Ohtani last year. They wonder and discuss what a postseason birth for the Jays would mean in a big-picture sense; if it would not only secure Ross Atkins’ job but also help sell coming to Toronto for free agents like Soto. The morning duo then move on to the U.S. Open and bring in Sportsnet’s golf analyst Adam Stanley (25:05) from Pinehurst to help preview the Major. They wrap up the hour with the daily Wake and Rake.
