Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
Today, I have a list of guys who I personally find interesting as deep sleepers in the Jays system. These are all distant or very flawed players, but I think they have something that might lead them to have a role at some point in the future. Michael Mesa received the second highest bonus of […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals, which dropped the Leafs’ record to 32-32-14.

They got […] The post Craig Berube on Artur Akhtyamov making his first career NHL start vs. the Islanders: “He has really fast reflexes and is competitive as hell… I like the kid a lot” appeared firs...

As of today after another somewhat shocking announcement, there's another high-ranking hockey job that will be available at the end of the season, s...
Dodgers 3 at Blue Jays 4 158 days later, the Jays got the job done. With Shohei Ohtani starting the last game of the series, the Jays took a 4-3 lead to the 9th and finished out the job. Granted, the stakes were slightly smaller this time, but snapping a six game losing streak is […]

The same person managing Toronto's search also represents one of the people being consi...
Expect some big roster changes for the Toronto Maple Leafs this summer, and it starts with defenceman Morgan Rielly. The longest-tenured Maple Leaf has been all over the place this season, and has been one of the many reasons Toronto hasn't reached expectations. Rielly's inconsistent play defensively has led to several turning points in games, and with a much needed culture change on deck for the Maple Leafs, reports have surfaced stating the team is ready to move on. Nick Kypreos: Re Morgan R...

But hey, at least nobody seems to have gotten hurt. Kevin Gausman had a strong first two innings. He walked Shohei Ohtani to start the game, but then retired the next six Dodgers. They go to him in the third, though. Hyeseong Kim lead offf with a line double to centre, then Alex Freeland laid […]

Man, if the Dodgers offense had been this hot the last time they were in Toronto, the series would not have gone seven games. But then I suppose we would’ve been robbed of all that amazing drama. Coming into the middle game of the Blue Jays series, the Dodgers have scored eight or more runs […]
