Ben Ennis and Sho Alli start the second hour evaluating the Maple Leafs' offseason additions 17 games into the season. They share which addition has been their favourite, if Kirill Marchenko and Darren Raddysh have lived up to expectations, Jack Roslovic shining in his new home, and why Easton Cowan feels like a new player this season. The guys also touch on Sergei Bobrovsky's shaky play since joining the Leafs, if John Chayka would undo the trade if he had the option to, and how Toronto stacks up in the Atlantic Division. Later, Ben and Sho pivot to take a closer look at what it would take for the Blue Jays to acquire CJ Abrams from the Washington Nationals. Nick Kypreos (27:21), co-host of Real Kyper and Bourne, joins the show to share his view on the Leafs' playoff chances, what's been different about Auston Matthews' game, what's behind Raddysh's scoring drought, and whether Bobrovsky has started to turn a corner.

Ben Ennis and Sho Alli kick off Thursday morning's show with a recap of the Raptors 128-109 loss to the Nuggets last night in Denver. They share what they've learned about the group so far this season, how they differ from last year's squad, what to make of their struggles against elite teams, and whether Scottie Barens has taken the next step we expected after last year's playoff run. Is it unfair to evaluate this group without Kawhi Leonard? After the break, former MLB pitcher and host of By The Books, Jensen Lewis (26:51) drops by to chat about the opening offers in MLB's CBA negations. He breaks down the next steps for both sides with thoughts on the owners potentially appealing to lower-salaried players with a higher minimum salary, if the MLBPA would ever agree to a salary cap, and how many games we could miss next season if this isn't resolved. The guys wrap up with a look at the upcoming free agent class and discuss how active teams might be in pursuit of players before the lockout. Will the Blue Jays be busy?
