He's the overall leader in Defensive Runs Saved by a center fielder. We also talked to Kevin about what it was like to play for the Dodgers and got a specific example on how their advance scouting paid off.Then we talked to baseball writer Sam Miller about the most memorable things from the 2024 season (spoiler alert: there's a lot of Shohei Ohtani).

The FAN Morning Show hits its final hour of Thursday. Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning kick it off with some more Leafs talk. They look at the upcoming schedule for Toronto, wonder about the deployment of their goaltenders and if sitting atop the Atlantic division gives them any leniency on how to approach it. The hosting duo welcome on their “Leafs historian” Damien Cox to join the conversation and ask if the top line of Matthews-Nylander-Marner is the most talented assembly he's seen. They also get into the goaltending situation, how much of a workload to give Joseph Woll and if we should expect to see Matt Murray back at some point soon. B&D also take some time to discuss his writing career as the day marks 40 years since his first piece for Toronto Star. A special treat to end today's show as the FAN a.m. boys are joined by 12 year MLB vet, Kevin Keirmaier. B&D check in to see if KK really is retired and what life after a playing career could entail as well as his career; being a defensive specialist, playing for two A.L. East teams, his time in Toronto, ending it with a super talented team like the Dodgers and going out as a World Series Champ. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.
