The Toronto Blue Jays found a rare opening Monday night when Ernie Clement got to Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez at Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays infielder ended one of the left-hander’s best runs with one swing, taking him deep in Philadelphia’s 5-2 win. Clement led off the bottom of the fifth inning and […]

Some years ago, I learned that Canada has a fast food chain known as New York Fries. I am from New York, and I do not know of any particular connection between that fair city (state? I assume it’s named for the city?) and fries. I have always been somewhat baffled by this. Sort of […]
The Orioles can’t linger long on their disappointing loss to the Blue Jays yesterday, as they’re back in Baltimore and back in action this evening to open a four-game set against the Mariners. The M’s, who lead the AL West with a 34-32 record, represent the Orioles’ toughest opponent since they faced the Rays at […]
Here are the lineups for game 1 in Toronto. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays:
The Toronto Blue Jays have designated Yariel Rodriguiez for assignment to make room on the roster for the addition of Tommy Nance: Rodriguez was initially DFA’d in December. He cleared waivers and was assigned to the AAA Buffalo Bisons. Things went pretty well for him there, as he revamped his pitch mix to lean more […]
The Blue Jays have designated right-hander Yariel Rodríguez for assignment, as first reported by Francys Romero. Taking his spot in the major league bullpen is Tommy Nance, returning from a three-week stint on the injured list. This leaves the Blue Jays with an open spot on their 40-man roster. Rodríguez signed a five-year, $32MM contract […]
Yariel Rodriguez was a valuable member of the Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen in 2025, and helped them get past the New York Yankees in the 2025 American League Division Series. But Rodriguez has struggled in 2026 — particularly against left-handed…
There are little bits of Jays news today. Tanner Andrews has cleared waivers and is on his way back to Buffalo. Not really a surprise, but it’s good to keep some pitching depth. And it sounds like we will have Dylan Cease and Max Scherzer back this week. They have a couple of open spots […]
On paper, the Will Wagner-for-Brandon Valenzuela trade seemed like a nothingburger. So far this season, it’s been evident that’s not the case. When the Toronto Blue Jays traded for Valenzuela in July of 2025, expectations weren’t super high. He wasn’t a top prospect of the San Diego Padres, was stuck behind Ethan Salas, and didn’t […]

Thirteen Years Ago The Blue Jays and Rangers played 18 innings; best of all, the good guys won. I miss these kinds of games. It was one of those games that felt like it would never end. Early on, we scored three runs in the third inning. Edwin Encarnacion singled. Adam Lind walked, moving Edwin […]
Today, John Gibbons celebrates his 64th birthday. Gibby was the Blue Jays’ manager for eleven seasons—nine full seasons and two part seasons. The team had a 793-789 record under his helm, and we made it to the playoffs twice during his tenure. Gibbons’ first stint began mid-2004, as the Jays sought change after Carlos Tosca. […]
When younger Major League Baseball players struggle, it's not uncommon to see them optioned back to the minors until they turn things around.
O's lose a contraversial one in Toronto to end road trip
The Toronto Blue Jays feature a healing roster that will soon welcome back Max Scherzer. But the pitcher’s pending return isn’t the only fuel for optimism. Ernie Clement dropped a truth bomb Sunday after beating the Baltimore Orioles that will catch the attention of the American League. The defending AL champs erased a 4-0 deficit […]

Orioles 4 Blue Jays 6 This had all the signs of being another one of those games. After 5 innings, we were down 4-0. Through four innings, Kevin Gausman had allowed one base runner, then it all fell apart in the fifth. Strikeout, home run, pop out, triple, double, home run, strikeout. 13 total bases […]
The Orioles appeared to be cruising toward a series win before a missed call and some shoddy defense resulted in a five-run sixth inning. The Blue Jays rode a bizarre stretch to a come from behind 6-4 victory, leaving the O’s to return to the United States with a bad taste in their mouths. The […]
Nothing has gone right for the Toronto Blue Jays this year, partly due to injuries. But the pitching staff is getting some support, with two top-end starters coming back soon. Blue Jays manager John Schneider is confident that Max Scherzer and Dylan Cease will return soon, and the former even locked in a day. “John […]

TODAY: Andrews has cleared waivers, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Toronto has assigned him outright to Triple-A Buffalo. Andrews does not have the requisite service time to reject the assignment, nor has he been previously outrighted. As a result, he will stay in the organization. June 4: The Blue Jays announced that they have […]
Winning two games out of three on the road is all you can really ask for right now. We’ll see if the Orioles are up to the task this afternoon in Toronto. Samuel Basallo is in the lineup and will catch Orioles starter Shane Baz. Adley Rutschman will bat third as the designated hitter. If […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are currently trying to make up ground in the AL standings, sitting at 31-34 as the season enters its summer months. The Blue Jays haven’t exactly quelled concerns this season about their ability to bounce back from last year’s devastating Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World […]

O's look for a winning road trip today in trip finale in Toronto
Orioles 4 Blue Jays 6 That seemed like the Ernie Clement show. His defense, especially in the ninth inning, was amazing. And he was 2 for 3, with a home run, triple, 3 RBI, 3 runs. What a day he had. Spencer Miles did a nice job as the ‘bulk’ guy, going 4.1 innings, allowing […]
After a feel-good win yesterday, the Orioles put up a clunker today. As is often the way, they were unable to score much until the late innings, and this time it was too little, too late. And the recently very steady Kyle Bradish struggled and lasted just four innings. It was not a winning combo […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are seeing help on the horizon for their starting rotation, with right-hander Dylan Cease trending toward an imminent return following his latest rehab outing. Cease completed a Triple-A Buffalo rehab start on Thursday, throwing 75 pitches (50 strikes) over four innings. He allowed five runs in the appearance but still reached […]
