I dove into the Raptors roster and came up with a key question for all 15 players with guaranteed deals, so I'm kind of surprised five of them haven't been traded this morning:

Also saddened today by the passing of Leaf great, Bobby Baun.

Baun won 4 Stanley Cups with the Leafs. In 1964, he scored the overtime winner, playing with a broken bone in his leg. #TMLTalk

Rest in Peace, Bobby.

Sad news. Former Toronto Maple Leafs first-round pick Rodion Amirov passes away at 21.

Alex Manoah optioned to Triple A by the Toronto Blue Jays.

I mean c'mon. This was handled terribly. They sent the guy down to work out his mechanics and mind - and gain some confidence - but you bring him back way too early, and now you've got to send him down again?

Sigh.

On Pascal Siakam, Masai Ujiri, Damian Lillard, Precious Achiuwa, SummerSlam and more: mailbag, part one

Welcome to Toronto, Martin Jones #TMLtalk

Updated Leafs Feed: thanks to some regex help, will now also include any post that has the last name of any player (and Auston & Mitch) + either 'leafs' or 'toronto' somewhere in the message instead of needing a full name https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xggf6xt6w47fc3oqpo2i2cf4/feed/aaaedcjxtotdo

Updated Toronto Raptors feed, can now include all players' last names + Raps/Raptors/Toronto (except Young and Dick which use the latter two only or else the exclusion criteria would be way too long) https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:xggf6xt6w47fc3oqpo2i2cf4/feed/aaaemnozkq7e6

Sal Frelick lived up to the billing in his MLB debut.

Lots of contact. Lots of speed. Lots of range. Lots of ways to help a Brewers club that needs it in the outfield.

What else to expect from here: https://atmlb.com/44CHD9r

At the next NHL all-star game it's possible that the Western Conference could start a line of Connor, Connor, and Connor, with Connor in goal.

Ilya Samsonov awarded 3.55 million by arbitrator. Looks like it'll be a Samsonov/Woll tandem for the Maple Leafs. I'm big on Woll, not so hot on Samsonov. #TMLTalk

Former Toronto Blue Jay, Fred McGriff, enters Baseball Hall of Fame.

He hit the first ever home run at the Skydome (it'll always be the Skydome to me).
