    Looming Leafs and Jays Decisions

    Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning send The FAN Morning Show into the final hour discussing the pending decisions that need to be made surrounding the Maple Leafs and Blue Jays. Starting on the ice, local Leafs historian Damien Cox stops by to sort through the team's biggest questions including what's next for Sheldon Keefe and Mitch Marner, along with how to address the fanbase's malcontent with the status quo. Next, Ben and Brent switch gears to chat about the Blue Jays' future plans with MLB Network's Adnan Virk (29:25)! They discuss what's ahead for Bo Bichette and Vlad Guerrero Jr., if John Schneider is on the hot seat, who else in the organization needs to answer for the team’s shortcomings, and when to expect changes if things don't turnaround soon.

    The Blue Jays Nightmare Start Continues

    The Blue Jays Nightmare Start Continues

    Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick off The FAN Morning Show on the Blue Jays and what seems to be misfiring on almost all facets of the game, especially on a night when starter Jose Berrios was not at his best. They discuss the offence that continues to struggle and not produce; if there is any way to correct or ignite it. B&B weighs draws some parallels to what Toronto fans just dealt with regarding the Maple Leafs. The morning duo also takes time to hit on John Schneider who showed his frustration. Before the hour ends, the boys hit on the NHL’s Draft Lottery (30:58), the San Jose Sharks taking the top pick and the consensus number one overall player.

    Toronto Fans Need Some Optimism

    Toronto Fans Need Some Optimism

    Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off Hour 3 focusing on the Blue Jays who start a short series tonight in Philadelphia against the upstart Phillies. Play-by-play voice Dan Shulman joins the conversation to look for some optimism heading into a new week, before discussing what adjustments can be made to solidify the bullpen and the case for a change at the lead off spot in the lineup. Later, we shift focus back to the Maple Leafs with Sportsnet's own Luke Fox, who attended locker room cleanout day and the exit interview that followed. Luke offers a first hand feel of the tense mood around the team, the feeling that players need to be sheltered from the local media, his major takeaways from the day and some positives heading into the summer (25:44).

    It’s the Same Old Leafs Song

    It’s the Same Old Leafs Song

    Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick off The FAN Morning Show on what they heard yesterday's Leafs locker cleanout day, who took accountability and if it even matters especially to Toronto fans or is it just the “same old” to them. The morning duo also quickly give their thoughts on Game 1 of the Bruins next series as Boston carried their momentum to pull off the victory over the Panthers. If the Bruins win, would it change our opinion on anything? Lastly, they touch on the Jays who signed and are bringing back Aaron Sanchez (40:12).
