Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Thursday was a rare quiet day across the American League, with just three games going on and only two of them on our radar. The Yankees were one of many that had the day off as they travelled to Philadelphia, so they had nothing to do but see if the Blue Jays could do them […]
Shortly after Steve Cohen bought the franchise, he shared his desire to turn the Mets (43-60) into an east coast version of the Dodgers (65-38). Simply put, that hasn’t happened yet, as the Mets have spent quite a bit of money on their major league payroll but haven’t been consistent when it comes to making […]
The Toronto Blue Jays salvaged the final game in their series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, but they were thoroughly outclassed in the first two, and really established themselves as an also-ran this season. They are certain to be sellers at the deadline, and have a few notable trade candidates. In this proposed deal, hypothesized by Mitch Bannon in The Athletic , the Jays would send out two players to the Philadelphia Phillies to fill big voids on the Phils' roster. Philadelph...
With more than seven years of Major League experience, Jordan Romano is no stranger to serving as a closer. The Canadian right-hander spent the first six years of his Major League career with the Toronto Blue Jays before moving to Philadelphia for a year in 2025, and was most recently with the Los Angeles Angels […]
The trade value of Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Shane Bieber is reportedly "trending upward after an impressive start today against the playoff-bound Tampa Bay Rays," per Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
It is tough to sweep a four-game series, unless you are the impossibly hot Boston Red Sox. Perhaps Shane Bieber took it upon himself to make Kyle Snyder, Kevin Cash, and the front office beliebers and effort to acquire him before the August 3rd deadline. Bieber had his second consecutive fantastic outing since the break […]
Rays 1 Blue Jays 3 WE SCORED THREE RUNS! It isn’t like we had a lot of hits, just seven (with three walks). But it was enough We scored a run in each of the first, third and seventh innings: Vlad and George (with a walk) had two hits each. Yohendrick, Clement, and Kirk had […]
On Thursday afternoon, the Rays were hoping to wrap up their four-game series against the Blue Jays with a sweep. To get the job done, they had Casey Legumina working the opener role, up against Shane Bieber for the Blue Jays. The Rays went 1-2-3 to start the first inning. In the home half, Ernie […]
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle questions on a potential (likely?) deadline sell-off for the Jays, the extent to which starting pitchers can hurt their stock with poor outings leading into the deadline, some possible White Sox targets, the Giants’ veteran trade candidates, the Pirates’ closing need, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas and more! Let’s get […]
A year after reaching the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays are staring at a deadline sell-off, and Daulton Varsho is the name generating the most interest. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Foul Territory, the Blue Jays will have to move Varsho, and the veteran outfielder is expected to have plenty of suitors. "I think Varsho will have a lot of suitors," Nightengale said. "So, I think these next 10 days are as big to them as any organization in baseball." Varsho is hitting .237 with...
1:46pm: The Jays have now made it official. They announced they have claimed Martin and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo, with Barger moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. 12:30pm: The Blue Jays have claimed outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. off waivers from the Orioles, reports Ari Alexander of 7News Boston. Baltimore designated him […]
Go Rays!
Expect some surprising trades from the Blue Jays
We haven’t hit the daily roster moves frequency that Alex Anthopoulos gave us, but we are making moves lately. Corbin pitched Tuesday and it didn’t go well, 2.1 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned, 3 strikeouts. His ERA has jumped to 5.51. It was 3.65 at the end of May. Had to figure something was going […]
As the Blue Jays continue to trend toward selling, there’ll be an increased focus on some of their short-term veterans — rentals in particular. Right-hander Kevin Gausman stands as one of the most prominent names who could be shipped out if Toronto does sell, recent struggles notwithstanding. Gausman’s five-year $110MM contract, which expires at season’s […]
The Blue Jays might not be able to trade Gausman to these 8 teams
On the element of surprise, taken to its logical conclusion. The post Box Score Banter: Coming Out Swinging appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
One year after coming up a few inches short of a championship, the Blue Jays find themselves at the bottom of the AL East. They’re a season-worst nine games under .500 after dropping six of their first eight coming out of the All-Star Break. Only the Angels, A’s and Royals are below them in the […]
Rays 4 Blue Jays 2 Well, we scored two runs. For a moment, it looked like we could have big first inning. With one out (an Ernie Clement strikeout), Nathan Lukes walked and Vladimir Guerrero doubled high off the wall in right center. A few feet left and it would have been a home run […]
The Rays might cruise to an American League East title if they were to play all of their remaining games north of the border. Wednesday’s 4-2 victory was the team’s third straight in Toronto, and the team is now 5-1 on the season at Rogers Centre. Griffin Jax took the bump for the Rays, looking […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Dodgers: Let’s talk about it.
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
Darshan Desai at Uncrowned reports that former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia has filed suit against the sanctioning body, alleging a conspiracy on the part of the WBA, WBC, WBO, former promoter Eddie Hearn, and others to punish him for signing with Zuffa Boxing. The IBF stripped Opetaia (30-0, 23 KO) of the belt ahead […]
Today marks Dave Stieb’s 69th birthday. We saw Stieb on the weekend. He looks like he could still play. Stieb holds the franchise records for wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started, complete games, and many other pitching categories. His 103 complete games in 408 starts for the Blue Jays is a mark unlikely to be […]
