Maple Leafs Path Forward + State of the Rotation with Shi Davidi

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the hour by discussing some potential candidates for the Maple Leafs’ next general manager. They touch on the idea of pursuing executives already under contract and investigate what that could mean for rumored frontrunner Doug Armstrong. The guys also chat about Toronto's recent trade deadline decisions, pressure within the organization, and other teams mentioned in Keith Pelley's press conference. Later, Ben and Brent rejoice about the return of goalie fights with Igor Shesterkin and Jacob Markström dropping the gloves. After the break, Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi (25:25) joins to analyze Max Scherzer’s strong season debut, the Blue Jays’ rotation depth amid injuries, the bullpen's reliability, and his first impressions on the Automated Ball-Strike system.
