The first game was a typical one we have seen from the 905 this season... dominant. A 130-102 victory over the Nets began the set, as it was centre Olivier Sarr's best game as a junior Raptor. The 26-year-old finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, a steal, a block, and a career-high seven assists in the victory. Alijah Martin and Jonathan Mogbo also put in shifts, as the former finished with a team-high 22 points, four assists, and three steals,

Nylander spoke about his relationship with his coach during an interview with The Athletic's Jonas Siegel, touching on how beneficial Berube has been in playing a simple game. "He's very easy to talk to," Nylander said. "It's like any coach. Sometimes you butt heads, and you get into it now and then. But that's different. That's the hockey part. But he's also just a regular person that you can talk to about whatever."

In messages to her wife, Becky Hamber referred to herself as Officer Hamber and said one of the boys in her and Brandy Cooney's care was in Hamber Cooney prison. Those texts from Nov. 14, 2021, were one set of many shown at the women's first-degree murder trial Tuesday in the Milton, Ont., court. That was at least the second time, the women referred to themselves as jailers of two brothers they were trying to adopt,

Mike Miller is the next head coach of the Toronto Argonauts. The Argos promoted Miller on Tuesday after he spent four seasons as Toronto's quarterback coach. Miller succeeds Ryan Dinwiddie, who left the Argonauts in a surprise move to become head coach and general manager of the Ottawa Redblacks on Nov. 5. The 55-year-old Miller, from Pittsburgh, has extensive coaching experience, making stops in the NFL, CFL, XFL and Europe.

A garbage truck operator has died after he was struck by the truck he was operating in Scarborough on Tuesday morning, Toronto police say.

But when it comes to signing free agent pitchers to major league deals, there hasn't been a ton that Atkins can say he regrets. For the most part when Atkins signs a free agent pitcher to a big money contract or a long-term deal, those deals have worked out in favour of the Blue Jays. Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins has had more hits than misses with free agent pitchers

The FBI had managed to get eyes on Ryan James Wedding, a Canadian they suspected of running a violent cocaine-smuggling operation across South and North America. The episode at the coffee shop described by U.S. prosecutors in court documents summarizing their case against Wedding amounts to the only sighting that authorities have confirmed publicly, since Wedding first fled criminal charges in 2015.

A 65-year-old man is facing charges after a tractor-trailer hit and run in Vaughan left a pedestrian dead Thursday evening. The incident happened around 7:20 p.m. near Islington Avenue and Highway 7. A 62-year-old man from Toronto died on scene after being hit by the tractor-trailer, according to police.

An electrical fire at two residential buildings is now under control in Thorncliffe Park, according to Toronto Fire Services. The fire is affecting electrical power at 11 Thorncliffe Park Dr. and 21 Overlea Blvd., two buildings that are connected, according to Alex Vashkevich, a public information officer at Toronto Fire Services. An electrical panel was smouldering and the fire spread into the walls of the basement level where electrical panels are housed for both buildings.

Lucas' short tenure with the Blue Jays comes to an end Spending most of his time in the minor leagues, Lucas was called up by the Blue Jays after Max Scherzer was placed on the injured list following his first start. In his first two starts, Lucas made a strong impression, picking up the wins in both instances and not allowing an earned run with 11 strikeouts. One of those starts included outperforming Boston Red Sox juggernaut Garrett Crochet on April 8.

His ceiling wasn't stratospheric, but the hope was that he could morph into a solid NHL blueliner. The Leafs gave him as many opportunities as they could. He even logged some top-pairing minutes for a short while. But he just didn't live up to expectations. At times, defensive gaffes turned into goals. Other times, he just wasn't the sort of high-end defenseman the Maple Leafs needed to contend for a Stanley Cup.

"Knies, Matthews and Roy all practiced today," Berube said. "Looked good, they finished practice, but still gotta see about tomorrow. So that's where they're at, but it was good that they were out there and finished practice, went through all the drills."

Ketel Marte's name continues to pop up on the offseason rumor mill as teams check in with the D-backs on the star second baseman. Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen has already plainly indicated that a trade is "unlikely," and reports out of Arizona generally suggest that the Snakes are loath to part with Marte but will at least hear interested parties out as a matter of due diligence.
