    We speak to some Canadian stars of the stage and screen about the Jays' magical 2025 run and what's to come
    Nov 20 2025

    Guests: Ryan Bondy (Book of Mormon), Jeff Madden (Jersey Boys, Shrek The Musical), Paloma Nunez (Second City)

    This week in Deep Left Field, we sit in the limbo between the end of the World Series and the beginning of the winter transaction season, so we took advantage and gathered some Canadian stars of stage and screen who also happen to be huge Blue Jays fans.

    Ryan Bondy, Jeff Madden and Paloma Nunez join us to talk about their memories and feelings about the Jays' magical 2025 that saw them get within two outs of winning the World Series, and we look ahead to the off-season with an eye on Bo Bichette and whether or not the Jays should keep the whole gang together in an attempt to run it back.

    Also, Madden fills us in on what it's like to sing the anthems at a Jays game.

    Guest: Former Blue Jays bench coach Don Mattingly

    After three years with the Jays, Don Mattingly feels that his work is done and he is moving on. But before the 64-year-old tackles the next challenge in a life that has seen him involved in Major League Baseball since the New York Yankees drafted him in 1979, he joins us in Deep Left Field to talk about his time in Toronto.

    Mattingly went to the World Series for the first time this season and he discusses what they could have done better in the late innings of Game 7, but also compares this Jays team to his old Yankees teams in the mid-90s that would go on to build a dynasty.

    Also, as always, we open up the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

    Guest: Former Blue Jay Kevin Kiermaier     The off-season is upon us but the sad ending to the Blue Jays' season still lingers. We wanted to know what one of the greatest baserunners in baseball history thought about the bottom of the ninth of Game 7, so we reached out to Kevin Kiermaier and he joins us to answer some questions. Kiermaier discusses whether he thinks Isiah Kiner-Falefa should have scored on Daulton Varsho's one-out grounder in that inning, and what he would have done had he been on the bases. He also talks about the unique closeness of the Jays' clubhouse, Shane Bieber's return and what the next move might be for Bo Bichette and others. Plus, a quick dip into the mailbag at deepleftfied@thestar.ca!
