MLB players from multiple teams weighed in on the owners' proposed salary cap, and their message was consistent: They don't want one.
I always say it is hardest to blog about a middling team. A bad team, lots to talk about. A good team, lots to talk about. One in the middle? I think the Jays will get better. I think getting Alejandro Kirk back will help a lot. I think getting, you know, five actual starting […]
After frustratingly exiting the mound with seven hits and two earned runs across 4 2/3 innings pitched against Cincinnati, Holmes is looking to turn it around with a dominant performance in today’s matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Blue Jays 3 Braves 4 That wasn’t Kevin Gausman’s best game. 6 innings, 5 hits, 4 earned, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts and a home run. Of course, when you get 18 outs and 8 of them are strikeouts, it seems like it should be a good game. But, he gave up 2 in the first […]

The injuries continue to pile up for the Toronto Blue Jays, notably in the starting rotation. With Dylan Cease, Shane Bieber, Max Scherzer and Jose Berrios currently on the IL (the latter for the entire season), the Jays will continue to look for pitching help. Despite their floundering start to the 2026 season, the defending American League champions still find themselves tied for a Wild Card berth at this point. If they can get to the postseason, not many teams would want to face a sho...
Game one of three in Atlanta. There is some rain in the forecast, but it sounds like the game should happen.The Braves have been through several ballparks, in the last few years, none with a roof. But it sounds like the game should happen. There is hockey tonight too, which may make my decision to […]
