The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hump day hour with Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning talking Maple Leafs and the importance of tonight’s game against in Florida. Should playing the Panthers still be considered a measuring stick game? Or should the Leafs be looking to set the standard these days? The hosting duo debate it before welcoming on their “Leafs historian”, longtime The Star contributor, Damien Cox to weigh in. (4:23) The trio discuss if this is the highest confidence people have had around this team during the regular season sitting atop the Atlantic Division and given their recent play without captain Auston Matthews. In the back half of the hour, the morning pair turn their attention back to the MLB offseason. For this conversation, B&B are joined by former MLB catcher, now part of the Foul Territory podcast, Erik Kratz. (30:39) Kratzie weighs in on Soto Sweepstakes and why the MLB season should be more fun than other sports. The trio also look at some of the other names on the open market as well as a few apparently on the trade block that could be good options for the Blue Jays.
