It doesn’t matter what you throw at him; Steve Simmons can hit the curveball, and he puts that skill on display today as he joins John and Daren for some general sports talk on today’s show.
We start things off by discussing Shohei Ohtani’s monster deal and the intricacies of the contract before figuring out just how close the Toronto Blue Jays were to getting the Japanese phenom north of the border. We also get into the voting process, of which Steve was a part, for the Northern Star Award for Canada’s Athlete of the Year before shifting our focus to media distribution in Canada. We take a look at one of Steve’s recent articles regarding Rogers Media and their NHL rights going forward.
