The Toronto Blue Jays’ bats have gone ice cold, and Off the Roster is breaking down another frustrating night as the playoff push gets increasingly tense. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Toronto’s offensive struggles, John Schneider’s decision to turn to Joe Mantiply with the game still within reach, and the need for more power against dominant pitching. The crew also dives into the latest wave of roster moves, Ricky Tiedemann’s return to the big leagues, Spencer Miles touching 100 MPH, Sean Keys getting another opportunity, and Jameson Taillon potentially returning to the rotation later this week.

Then, ESPN and NHL Network analyst Kevin Weekes joins the show for a loaded hockey conversation. Where could Quinn Hughes ultimately end up? Could Minnesota make a serious push? Is Houston next in line for NHL expansion? Weekes also weighs in on the latest trade chatter, Ryan Getzlaf having his number retired in Anaheim, whether the Maple Leafs can bounce back, and which team that missed the playoffs last season has the best chance to get back in.

Plus, apparently 70% of Blue Jays fans think they could be a good MLB GM—and nearly half believe they could do a better job than Ross Atkins. The crew puts that confidence to the test before jumping into the latest Kawhi Leonard drama, Victor Oladipo’s plea for another NBA opportunity, and more from around the sports world. Don’t miss another loaded edition of Off the Roster.

Dan Riccio is back from vacation alongside Lindsay Dunn and Cabbie Richards for a loaded episode of Off the Roster, catching up on everything he missed across the sports world. The crew starts with the Toronto Blue Jays after their sweep of the Seattle Mariners, including Max Scherzer turning back the clock with a dominant performance at 42 years old, Seattle managing just four runs all series, and whether the Jays still have a realistic path to the playoffs. Dan also recaps his trip to the Blue Jays-Yankees game before the conversation shifts to the NHL, where Connor Hellebuyck’s public trade request out of Winnipeg sparks a discussion about player empowerment, potential landing spots and what a blockbuster move could mean for the Maple Leafs. Plus, they break down Cale Makar’s massive eight-year, $20.4 million AAV extension with Colorado, how it could reshape the NHL’s salary landscape and what it may mean for future contracts involving Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Gavin McKenna and more. Finally, with college football underway and the NFL season approaching, the crew talks fantasy football, expectations for their favourite teams and the biggest games and storylines to watch — all with a Toronto perspective.
