The Toronto Maple Leafs are back from the longest offseason they’ve had since the beginning of the Auston Matthews era. Maybe it felt that way because the Toronto Blue Jays weren’t anything worth watching this summer, but it was also quite literally the longest one. It was the first time since 2015-16 that the team…
At the end of each season, we do a Haiku contest. Well, at the end of each season that I remember about it. I’m not always (ever?) the best at follow through. The rules are: come up with a Haiku that says something about the 2026 Blue Jays. I guess that isn’t exactly rules, plural. […]
When Trey Gibson took the mound for the nightcap of the Orioles’ September 23 doubleheader against Toronto, there was little reason to expect much.

Although they had already been eliminated from the playoffs, it was a busy day for the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans on Sunday's final day of the regular season. Not one, but two players who have been among the most memorable of the century in the major leagues may have left the field for the final time.

The six-year, $150MM contract Springer signed with the Jays in January 2021 is now up, and the veteran will become a free agent for the second time in his c...
TORONTO – The first standing ovation came before first pitch as Max Scherzer took the field and Floor Seats by A$AP Ferg began to blare, the next bottom one when George Springer walked to the plate to the familiar Butterfly Effect by Travis Scott. More followed after Springer doubled to open the third, was run for, and made the long walk back to the dugout as 42,131 at Rogers Centre feted him; when Scherzer told manager John Schneider with two outs in the seventh that he wasn’t coming out of t...

Reds 1 Blue Jays 5 If I were Max Scherzer, that’s how I’d want to end my career. He threw seven innings, allowed six hits, one earned run, one walk, and seven strikeouts (which would finish him with 3,557 strikeouts, three fewer than Justin Verlander). Max threw 114 pitches. That’s just amazing, especially on short […]
Max Scherzer was in vintage form in what could be his final major league start. The future Hall of Famer allowed one run while striking out seven Cincinnati Reds batters and walking one as he pitched into the eighth inning on Sunday afternoon. Scherzer, 42, has said he will make a decision about his future later in the off-season. If this is the end, he would step away from the game as one of the most dominant pitchers in the history of baseball. Scherzer has two World Series championships, th...
