JD Bunkis kicks off today’s episode recapping last night's disastrous start from Alek Manoah and where it leaves the Jays' rotation heading down the stretch. Afterwards, Nick Kypreos of Real Kyper and Bourne joins JD to sift through the latest news out of Leafs Land! The pair discuss what Auston Matthews' next contract might look like, if any progress has been made in William Nylander's negotiations, and if the Blue and White are better positioned now than when the season ended (01:34 ). Later on, ESPN's Tim Kurkjian takes us on a trip around the A.L. East to discuss if the Red Sox for real, how the Yankees might approach the trade deadline, and offers an outside perspective on the Blue Jays (31:21). JD wraps up today's show with the biggest stories we missed! (50:21)
