## Resource

The Toronto Blue Jays’ second half is off to a difficult start, and Off the Roster is breaking down everything from a disappointing weekend against the Chicago White Sox. Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Toronto losing the series, another concerning performance from the offence, and the increasingly difficult path the team faces as it tries to remain in the American League playoff race. The crew also examines the positives from Shane Bieber’s scoreless outing and an improved start from Trey Yesavage before looking back at the organization’s celebration of the 1992 and 1993 World Series championship teams, the unveiling of the first statue outside Rogers Centre, and comments from George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and several Blue Jays alumni. They also pay tribute to two-time World Series champion Duane Ward following his passing at the age of 62. Then, the crew reacts to Spain defeating Argentina in extra time to capture the 2026 FIFA World Cup, discussing the decisive moments from the final, Lionel Messi’s emotional ending, and the biggest takeaways from an unforgettable tournament. Two-time Stanley Cup champion Tyler Johnson also joins the show to reflect on his NHL career, winning consecutive championships with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and life after hockey. Plus, Dan, Cabbie, and Lindsay recap their biggest stories from the weekend, including Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello’s one-game suspension. Don’t miss another jam-packed edition of Off the Roster covering baseball, soccer, hockey, basketball, and more.
