How Close Were the Leafs to Trading Knies? + Opportunity Against the O's

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning begin the second hour with a look back on reports of what was on the table for a potential Matthew Knies trade.

Later, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi (29:04) weighs in on Chad Dallas' MLB debut, the importance of this weekend's series against the Orioles, the Jays' success against elite pitching, the latest on the players rehabbing in Buffalo, and Andrés Giménez's struggles at the plate.
