The Sport Market Power Rankings: Oct. 11

The Vancouver Giants look to get back in the win column, as they continue their road trip, visiting the Regina Pats. Nathan Kanter has the call!

This week's Buy & Sell Panel sees Tom Mayenknecht joined by Aziz Rajwani, Jon Festinger and Sport Market producer Justin Morissette to debate what we're buying, selling or holding this week on the stock market of sport. Topics include how the Whitecaps will finish the season, if the BC Lions can host a playoff game this year, who will win the ALCS between the Blue Jays and Mariners, and if the Vancouver Canucks will make it into the playoffs come April.

Tom Mayenknecht rolls out this week's edition of the Sport Market Podium, recapping the top three stories of the week that was in sport business, where this week's topics include two 1977 expansion cousins meeting in the ALCS for the very first time, the beginning of a new NHL season, another WNBA championship for the Vegas Aces, and the Chicago Bears begin the process of moving out of Soldier Field and away from the windy city's downtown core.

With the buzz around baseball and the MLB playoffs reaching a fever pitch in British Columbia over the next few weeks as the Blue Jays and Mariners meet in the ALCS for the first time ever, this week's Sport Market Pitch is a business proposal aimed at taking the MLB to another level, and it may be time to tweak the way the game is marketed before making any more alterations to the rulebook or playoff formatting.

Vancouver comedian Torben Rolfsen offers up his lighter side take on the business of sport, where no one is safe from skewering, as this week's targets include the Blue Jays, Yankees, the Panthers' new Stanley Cup rings, and Connor McDavid's two-year extension to stay in Edmonton.

As the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners punch their ticket to a first-ever meeting in the American League Championship Series, how do they stack up in this week's edition of the Sport Market Power Rankings, and which MLB team holds the top spot as we head into the next round of post-season action?

Toronto Sun Blue Jays beat writer Rob Longley looks ahead to the Jays/Mariners ALCS, where Toronto will be in tough to feel the kind of home crowd reception that typically awaits them thanks to Vancouver's Blue Jays contingent invading T-Mobile Park, previewing how these teams match up, and offering an update on the health status of Bo Bichette.
