Most importantly, Bieber was one of the high-upside pitchers available at last summer's trade deadline who could make a big difference down the stretch. Still, there were questions about just how valuable Bieber really was.

Berrios made 30 starts this season before he was moved to the bullpen, a move that he was openly unhappy discussing. Through those starts, Berrios totaled a 4.06 ERA, going 9-5 in that span.

Ford says that in his opinion, Ticketmaster is "gouging" people.

Earlier this month, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal heard that Valentyne, who co-hosted Q Q107's Derringer in the Morning from 2017 to 2019, was bullied, yelled at and excluded from important conversations by her co-hosts. Valentyne claims the treatment was due to the fact that she is a woman, alleging male colleagues were not treated the same way. Valentyne also alleges Corus management knew about her co-hosts' conduct, failed to take action against it and instead pushed Valentyne out of her position as co-host.

Very difficult, there was a couple, definitely, sleepless nights, just thinking of a massive decision, not only for me but for my family, my wife, my son as well.

An inability to make it count on the scoreboard almost came back to haunt them in the third period. It's an early, promising sign that this much-changed Marlies team hung tough and found a way to grind out the extra point. "I thought we were outstanding. We were moving pucks quick[ly] and keeping them [Belleville] on their heels. That was a definite positive for our group." - John Gruden on the Marlies ' play through 40 minutes

many fans and commentators alike were quick to point out his efficiency struggles, not looking motivated enough, or perhaps nursing an injury that was hampering his play (reports came out that Barnes was dealing with " left knee tendonitis"). On nights when his star contemporaries, Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett, were looking really solid, it just seemed like Barnes couldn't quite put it all together to look like the usual versatile and aggressive self that Raptors Nation has come to know.

Santander was initially taken out of the lineup before Game 4 with back issues, before Bannon reported the news. In speaking with the media, Blue Jays manager John Schneider was pressed on the potential shuffle, but was mum on the matter, simply replying, "We'll see."
