Adam Stanley Sets Up Links Season + Blue Jays Deadline Preview with J.P. Ricciardi

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning kick off the second hour with Sportsnet's Adam Stanley to discuss the Senators' turbulent offseason, the organization's recent talent drain, and the reaction to Daniel Alfredsson joining the Maple Leafs' coaching staff. They also preview the Scottish Open, explore the unique challenges of links golf, look ahead to the Open Championship, debate the best storyline for golf, and discuss the future of the Canadian Open amid the PGA Tour's proposed two-track system and Rory McIlroy's support for it. Later, former Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi joins the show to break down Dylan Cease's near no-hitter, modern pitcher management, the evolution of the game, the American League trade market, and whether he'd pursue Francisco Lindor if he were available. Ben and Brent wrap up by debating whether sports are better today than they used to be.
