On today’s episode of Off the Roster, the crew breaks down a brutal missed opportunity for the Toronto Blue Jays after being shut out 2-0 by the Athletics in a game that could prove costly in the American League Wild Card race. They discuss the Jays’ struggling offence, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s recent issues at the plate, and some questionable late-game decisions from John Schneider, including leaving Ernie Clement in to hit with the game on the line. With the teams around Toronto continuing to pick up wins, how much room for error do the Blue Jays have left? The crew looks ahead to a massive weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles, breaks down the remaining schedule and asks what Toronto needs to do down the stretch to get back into an MLB playoff spot. Plus, they react to the New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks NFL season opener, preview the rest of NFL Week 1, give some of their favourite bets and survivor picks, and dive into the latest Toronto Maple Leafs news with Max Domi expected to miss training camp, what his absence could mean for the Leafs’ roster, Toronto’s salary-cap situation and more from around the NHL.

Off the Roster has a brand-new home! Dan Riccio, Lindsay Dunn and Cabbie Richards debut the new Nation Network studio in downtown Toronto before diving into everything happening across Toronto sports.

Blue Jays legend Buck Martinez joins the show to reflect on his decades with the organization, what it meant to become one of the defining voices of Blue Jays baseball and the emotion of being honoured by the organization after stepping away from the broadcast booth.

Buck also weighs in on the current Blue Jays as they enter the final weeks of the regular season fighting for a spot in the postseason. The crew breaks down Toronto's recent stretch, how they've continued finding ways to win and what needs to happen down the stretch for the Jays to get themselves into the playoffs.

Plus, with Maple Leafs hockey right around the corner, Dan, Lindsay and Cabbie look ahead to Toronto's roster, the biggest questions entering the season and whether more moves could still be coming before puck drop.

They also dig into the latest chapter of the Kawhi Leonard saga. The NBA's investigation into Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers has officially concluded, but Kawhi is still not technically a Toronto Raptor. So when will the long-awaited move finally become official, and what happens next for Kawhi and the Raptors?

And, of course, the crew gives you a look at the brand-new Nation Network studio in downtown Toronto.

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.

The Toronto Blue Jays hit another new low, and Off the Roster is breaking down a night that went completely off the rails. The crew reacts to Toronto falling behind 10-0, a disastrous six-run sixth inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hearing boos from the home crowd, and George Springer finally snapping his home run drought with a 404-foot blast. Things got so ugly that Miles Straw ended up on the mound, while even more defensive chaos followed as the Jays tried to survive another brutal night.

Then, MLB writer Thomas Hall joins the show to dive into Dylan Cease’s velocity, the Blue Jays’ Level of Excellence conversation, Sean Keys, and Major League Baseball’s proposed overhaul of the offseason calendar. Could free agency really be squeezed into just a few weeks, followed by a complete freeze on trades and signings?

Plus, Will Lou joins to break down the latest from the basketball world, including Shaedon Sharpe’s significant knee injury and Canada’s upcoming FIBA World Cup qualifying matchup against Panama. And because it’s Friday, things inevitably get weird with another edition of WTF Friday. Don’t miss another chaotic edition of Off the Roster covering the Blue Jays, MLB, basketball, and more.
