NBA analyst Esfandiar Baraheni joins the JD Bunkis Podcast to discuss the Raptors’ standard on the defensive side of the ball and how they can continue to be a dominant defence without Kawhi Leonard starting, especially during this upcoming stretch.

The Seattle Mariners are facing critical offseason roster decisions following their Game 7 ALCS loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite capturing their first AL West title since 2001 and seeing Cal Raleigh hit 60 home runs, manager Dan Wilson and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto must address pending free agency situations after falling just short of the franchise's first World Series appearance.
Seattle's front office has named re-signing pending free agent first baseman Josh Naylor a top priority. Dipoto also noted that the team must make roster determinations regarding veteran third baseman Eugenio Suárez, possibly replacing him with rookie Ben Williamson, while second baseman Jorge Polanco could test the market despite a $6 million player option.
