3 h. ago Things are going well for Mitch Marner after leaving Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs' offseason talk this past spring was dominated mostly by one man: Mitch Marner.After nine years on the team and with a shot at becoming the franchise's leading scorer, Marner opted to take his talents elsewhere and find a new home.Technically, Marner actually ended up with his current Vegas Golden Knights team via a sign-and-trade, but he pretty clearly played a part in exiting the Leafs.Fast-forward through one quarter of the Leafs' season, and they're much closer to the bottom of the NHL than the top. Marner's Golden Knights, meanwhile, sit fourth in a jam-packed Pacific Division, but just two points off the division lead.At least in the early days, it seems like Marner's choice to pick a new home has been paying off in dividends, given that the Leafs look like a shell of their former selves this season.How has Marner been doing away from the Leafs?Marner is currently tied for 34th in NHL scoring, with 20 points in 18 games by way of...

3 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays pitcher ties the knot with his high school sweetheart

It's been quite the year for Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Braydon Fisher.The 25-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jays in a trade that saw Cavan Biggio head to the LA Dodgers partway through the 2024 season. At that time, he hadn't yet pitched at the MLB level.However, that changed this past season, as Fisher was selected to the Blue Jays' 40-man roster in early May. He wound up pitching 50 innings for the Jays, posting an impressive 2.70 ERA along with 62 strikeouts. He was also entrusted with pitching seven innings during the playoffs.The great year for Fisher was extended into the offseason, as the right-hander tied the knot last week with his fiancée, Brianna Ririe, at The Luminaire in Montgomery, Texas. The Jays reliever announced the exciting news on Instagram over the weekend.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Braydon Fisher (@braydon_fisher11)"Marrie...
