Tommy Nance Traded to Minnesota

The Blue Jays have traded right handed reliever Tommy Nance to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for A+ catcher Ryan Sprock: Nance has been with the organization for two years, after being acquired from the Padres in the middle of the 2024 season. He filled innings capably down the stretch in that lost season, and […]

Taking Wing: Jay Harry

When the Jays dumped Trevor Richards on the Twins at the 2024 deadline, the return was an infielder who’d signed a way under slot deal in the sixth round of the previous year’s draft out of the decided non-baseball hotbed of Penn State University by the name of Jay Harry. Baseball America ranked him 426th […]

Foster Griffin’s intriguing situation with trade deadline looming

When the Nationals signed Foster Griffin in December of 2025, he was labeled as a low-upside reclamation project. The southpaw hadn’t thrown an MLB pitch since September of 2022, a season in which he posted an 8.33 ERA across 6.1 innings with the Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays. His prestige as a 2014 […]

Blue Jays unsung hero continues to shine 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to struggle. Despite the home run from last night, his offensive woes continue. And that’s a bad problem to have. Toronto has spent so much of this MLB season waiting for the familiar names to provide…

Kazuma Okamoto Hasn’t Come as Expected, And That’s Okay

The Toronto Blue Jays have dug deep into their pockets over the last few offseasons to sign some of the most lucrative free agents on the market. While some signings haven’t proven very effective yet (Anthony Santander) and others have been very solid additions (George Springer, Kevin Gausman), one contract stands out as one of […] The post Kazuma Okamoto Hasn’t Come as Expected, And That’s Okay appeared first on Just Baseball .

Bluebird Banter 2026 MLB Draft Preview Part 2

Yesterday, I went over the details of the draft and the Jays’ potential strategy. Today, a quick review of the farm, the shape of the draft class, and some names. The Farm Baseball America refreshed their farm system rankings the day before yesterday, in anticipation of the draft. They currently have the Jays 18th. Fangraphs […]

Dylan Cease takes no-hit bid into 9th as Blue Jays crush Giants

Baseball has a funny way of sticking with you. Some plays, some moments, some games, some players, just latch onto certain segments of your brain and I’m not fit to diagnose why. I’ve consumed thousands and thousands of San Francisco Giants games in my life. Some through paper box scores, and others through digital ones; […]

Cease Allows One Hit In 8 Innings, Jays Win

Blue Jays 10 Giants 0 What an amazing start by Dylan Cease. I wasn’t all for sending him back out for the eighth inning at 104 pitches. But Clease isn’t going to make a start in several days, with the All-Star break ahead (well, he might start the All-Star game). But in the eighth Daulton […]

Giants place Jonah Cox on the 10-Day IL, call up Jesús Rodríguez

The San Francisco Giants made a roster move on Wednesday, ahead of their series finale matinee against the Toronto Blue Jays. Shortly before first pitch, the team announced that center fielder Jonah Cox had been placed on the 10-Day Injured List, retroactive to July 6, with a left oblique strain. Taking his place on the […]

Blue Jays vs. Giants Game Thread

His last start was in the […]

Springer Back In The Lineup

George Springer is back playing today and batting fourth, which is a choice. I don’t know, it likely better than him leading off. I know that we worry too much about batting order, because that’s one of the things we can easily see, judge. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS GIANTS Ernie Clement – 2B Heliot […]

Bluebird Banter 2026 MLB Draft Preview Part 1

The 2026 MLB draft kicks off this Saturday, at 1:00pm ET. Because of MLB’s ironclad commitment to preventing this from becoming an event, it will occur while several teams are playing actual MLB games, although the Jays specifically will be in San Diego and don’t go until 8:40pm. The first 10 picks, which will inexplicably […]

Jays Actually Score And Win

Jays 9 Giants 3 Before the game, I asked the Jays to score and not just one run. And they did….I should have asked earlier. The Jays scored: We did go five inning there without getting a baserunner. But let’s focus on the nine runs instead. We had 13 hits. Clement (leading off) had three […]

MLB Trade Rumors: Freddy Peralta Heads To Blue Jays In Proposed Deadline Deal

This has not been the season that Freddy Peralta or the New York Mets hoped it would be. The Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball with no chance of a play off run. Peralta is having a rough season in his contract year. A 4.68 ERA isn't what he had in mind to take to the free agent market.  Nevertheless, there are reports that his trade market at the deadline could still be decent, per T he Athletic's Will Sammon .  Peralta, 30, set for free agency at the end of the season, sta...
