Summary
In this podcast, longtime Canadian sports broadcaster Donnovan Bennett joins the Sports Media Podcast following Toronto’s Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series. In the podcast we discuss the Game 7 loss; if winning is the only thing that matters here; the biggest moments in Game 7; how we should think about Jeff Hoffman giving up the tying home run in the ninth inning and Daulton Varsho's at-bat in the bottom of the inning; upcoming free agents Bo Bichette, Max Scherzer, Shane Bieber, Chris Bassett, SerAnthony Dominguez, Ty France, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa and what we would do with the free agents and what we expect the Blue Jays to do, and more.
