The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't hired a new GM yet, but they've already managed to create controversy. Toronto retained Neil Glasberg and The Coaches Agency to help run the search for their next head of hockey operations, and people noticed something almost immediately: Sunny Mehta, Florida's assistant general manager and one of the more talked-about candidates for the job, is a Glasberg client. The same person managing Toronto's search also represents one of the people being consi...
Expect some big roster changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, and it starts with defenceman Morgan Rielly. The longest-tenured Maple Leaf has been all over the place this season, and has been one of the many reasons Toronto hasn't reached expectations. Rielly's inconsistent play defensively has led to several turning points in games, and with a much needed culture change on deck for the Maple Leafs, reports have surfaced stating the team is ready to move on. Nick Kypreos: Re Morgan R...
Another inconsistent season has led to a destined fourth straight year as a play-in team for the Miami Heat, which was made officially official in a blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors 121-95. Miami came out completely flat with discouraging effort on both ends of the floor to open up the first of a two-game […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Miami Heat will officially be in the play-in. OK, I see that I have been stopped. But that’s because the Heat have now officially clinched a play-in berth for the fourth-straight year as a result of their 121-95 loss to the Toronto Raptors. As a result, they […]

The Toronto Raptors are holding onto their playoff spot for their lives as the last few games in the NBA regular season creep by. A pair of home games against Miami this week are essential to their playoff positioning, and the first one on Tuesday saw some injured Raptors return to the lineup. Fumble this […]
But hey, at least nobody seems to have gotten hurt. Kevin Gausman had a strong first two innings. He walked Shohei Ohtani to start the game, but then retired the next six Dodgers. They go to him in the third, though. Hyeseong Kim lead offf with a line double to centre, then Alex Freeland laid […]

The hero of last season’s World Series, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, returns to Rogers Centre to face the Blue Jays. Tuesday Game Info
The Dodgers finish off their six-game road trip with an afternoon start on getaway day against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Shohei Ohtani gets the ball in the series finale, the rotation maneuvered such that his next two pitching starts will come the day before a scheduled team off day. Since his last […]
On last week’s 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman noted that the Maple Leafs are eyeing the Boston Bruins’ retool with a similar goal in mind. The Boston retool is something we’ve discussed before in the lead-up to the Leafs’ trade deadline. The Bruins made a series of trades and ultimately ended up with three top-nine […]

After Tuesday’s practice, head coach Craig Berube discussed the emergency call-ups of Luke Haymes and William Villeneuve, John Tavares’ strong finish to the season, and the challenge against Alex Ovechkin on Wednesday. What is the current outlook for Oliver Ekman-Larsson? He was skating with William Villeneuve today. Berube: Well, he finished practice, so we will […]

It is a little early to be looking at underlying data for positives to take away but after the way these 1o games have gone I needed to look for my own sanity and figured I would put the positives out into the world to hopefully will the Jays bats into scoring some runs. Below […]
Man, if the Dodgers offense had been this hot the last time they were in Toronto, the series would not have gone seven games. But then I suppose we would’ve been robbed of all that amazing drama. Coming into the middle game of the Blue Jays series, the Dodgers have scored eight or more runs […]
After a few days off, the Miami Heat will be back in action to kick off the final road trip of the season— starting with a back-to-back set of matchups versus the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is currently in the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed at 43-35 overall. These two games could be crucial and potentially set […]

I don’t know if I can go so far as to say that any night is a good one when there is no Yankees game. But Monday tested that thesis. Two AL East rivals, Toronto and Boston, lost. Detroit went down to defeat in Minnesota. After a first-inning solo shot from Cal Raleigh, Seattle never […]
Happy Tuesday! Another night of quiet hitting held the Mariners to just one run in their 1-2 loss to the Texas Rangers last night. Cal Raleigh’s first home run of the year, a solo shot to deep right field, was one of two Mariners hits all game. George Kirby takes the mound today for the […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to look much different to start next season, and veteran forward Max Domi is one of the Leafs prime trade candidates. Domi has been inconsistent as ever since he's joined the Maple Leafs, working hard to find a secure role within the lineup, but essentially, Craig Berube hasn't been able to find him a permanent home. Domi's inconsistencies are going to lead to a trade this offseason, even with Domi holding a 13-team no-trade clause. The versatile veteran has t...
There's a culture change coming for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and in order to make the drastic changes they need in the dressing room, the team is going to need to move on from defenceman, Morgan Rielly. Rielly's the longest tenured Maple Leaf and with a new general manager, and possibly a new head coach coming in this summer, look for Rielly to be approached about waiving his no-movement clause. Word is Brad Treliving and Rielly spoke at the end of last season in their exit interview and Treli...

Dodgers 14 at Blue Jays 2 The last two games I recapped were one run, extra inning losses. Tonight was…not that. The Dodgers picked up right where they left off last fall when they were last here clubbing long balls, and it’s generally not going to be a good night when the other team has […]
The opening salvo of the three-game rematch of last year’s World Series was a one-sided affair, in which the Dodgers drubbed the Toronto Blue Jays 14-2 on Monday night at Rogers Centre. After scoring only seven runs in three games in a languid series against the Cleveland Guardians at home, the Dodgers offense has come […]
Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in turmoil, as the team's culture has been on display, and it's horrid. A captain unprotected, a sophomore NHL player ( Matthew Knies ) chirping at a former fourth-line center, and general manager Brad Treliving getting fired. The situation continues to degrade, as speculation rises about where captain Auston Matthews, a Gold Medal winner with Team USA in Milan-Cortina, could land next in the NHL. Matthews' entire career has been spent with the To...
