Dan Riccio, Cabbie Richards, and Lindsay Dunn react to Toronto’s 1–7 record against the Tampa Bay Rays, its minus-26 run differential in those games, and the defensive mistakes that have helped turn the team’s season in the wrong direction. The crew also examines Ernie Clement’s struggles in the field, Daulton Varsho’s eventful night, and whether Kevin Gausman may have made his final start at Rogers Centre as the trade deadline approaches. Then, Toronto Star Columnist Mike Wilner explains how the Blue Jays ended up at the bottom of the AL East, how calls for John Scheneider's firing are wrong, Vladimir Guerrero Jr's unfathomable season, a month team slump, defensive miscues and who Toronto will trade at the Trade Deadline on August 3rd. Plus, Canadian Men’s National Soccer team assistant coach Paul Stalteri joins the show to reflect on Canada’s World Cup run, the team’s underlying numbers, the challenge of turning chances into results, and the uncertainty surrounding Alphonso Davies. Lindsay Dunn speaks with NBA Champion Pascal Siakam discussing his career, his new business ventures and legacy as Toronto prepares to honour Kyle Lowry. 0:45 INTRO 2:00 Toronto loses to Tampa 12-2 6:15 Tough to watch right now 8:10 Kevin Gausman final game for Toronto? 11:45 Singers vs the Tampa Bay Rays 15:45 Mike Wilner is here! 17:20 How did Toronto get in this position at bottom of AL East? 21:20 Blue Jays unfathomable team slump 25:00 Jays players rumoured to be traded 28:20 Is manager John Schneider’s job safe? 32:20 Toronto’s fall off defensively 36:10 Boston’s improbable 14 game win streak 38:25 Kevin Gausman’s impact with the Blue Jays 40:30 Blu…","meta_description":"The Toronto Blue Jays’ season continues to unravel, and Off the Roster is breaking down whether last year’s success was simply a mirage.
