Ben opens the hour with Michael Grange (1:00) who reported that the Raptors have interest in Kevin Durant and believe they have the best package available to land him. They debate whether you can do a deal without including Scottie Barnes which allows you to win today - as well as - tomorrow. Michael feels it is less likely than what the Las Vegas odds will tell you. Later we check in with former Jays pitcher Ricky Romero (27:00) who has known Sergio Romo since before the big leagues and explains what he brings to the team. Tonight Matt Chapman returns to Oakland and Ricky looks at his first half season with the team and how impressed he is with Chapman's defence. Then he gives us his take on a piece from SI today about the science behind the slider and how it's become baseball's most important pitch. He's not that old but he's already seen such a huge increase in analytics and the impact on pitching.
