(2:11) Next the trio turn their attention to the Maple Leafs and the week they’ve had: a seemingly weird schedule for the team still playing without their Captain and reports leaking of numbers that a couple of their “Core Four” is looking for.

In the back end of the hour, the morning pair turn their attention back to the MLB offseason, some late drama in the Soto Sweepstakes that has “insiders” battling online. MLB Network’s Adnan Virk joins to discuss it all. (27:15) Have the favourites to land the Dominican superstar changed? Where makes the most sense? What are the various teams selling to him? And does it really simply come down to the dollar figure? The trio weigh in on it all. They also get into some possible Blue Jays trade targets and look ahead to the next Monday Night Prime Hockey which features the Maple Leafs.

The FAN Morning Show goes into its final hour of baby Friday still dissecting last night’s Leafs loss to the Panthers and another injury hitting its forward group. Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning dive into the deep list of injuries facing Toronto and again the impending return of Auston Matthews; how not knowing exactly when he will be back has to make you wonder how long the team can survive at the top of the Atlantic.

(6:37) The Leafs reporter offers some insight into the state around the teams last night; how Toronto is dealing with the injuries that continue to pile up and how defending champ Florida was handling their latest skid.

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.

On hour two of The FAN Morning Show, Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning start by looking specifically at the resurgent season of the team’s previous captain John Tavares.

At the back end of the hour, the morning duo welcome former NHL Defensemen & Panthers TV analyst, Ed Jovanovski. Ed provides some insight on Florida’s season right now, if there’s much concern around their recent play and their rivalry with the Leafs.
