Jays Trade Expectations + A Leafs Deal

Guest hosts Daniele Franceschi and Zack Bodenstein take the reins on Friday's edition of The FAN Morning Show. Despite their latest game being a loss, the pair start with a chat about the Blue Jays, who still sit atop of the American League East with a two-game lead over the Yankees. They discuss how the recent run for Toronto has changed expectations of what this team should do ahead of the fast-approaching trade deadline. D&Z examine what would constitute as a job well done by the Jays' front office and would be viewed as a success in eyes of Toronto fans post-July 31st.. In the back end of the hour, the duo discusses a minor trade made late last night by the Maple Leafs, as well as projected No. 1 pick Gavin McKenna's decision to play at Penn State in 2026 and it's impact on junior hockey in Canada (31:11).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
