Former top closer Jordan Romano is back in the major leagues.... But this could get ugly. The former two-time All-Star with the Toronto Blue Jays has been called up by the Colorado Rockies. Rockies select contract of Jordan Romano from AAA https://t.co/8KqwjrSNsS — Rotoworld Baseball (@rotoworld_bb) July 4, 2026 Of course, the thin air at Coors Field isn't the most friendly atmosphere for pitchers who are struggling. And that's the only word you can use to describe Romano's trials and tr...
Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Louis Varland, whom the Twins traded to the Blue Jays at last summer's trade deadline, will be on this year's American L
Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. revealed that he won't participate in the 2026 MLB All-Star Game despite being selected as a starter on Saturday.
On his last start on the Fourth of July, against the Giants in 2023, Logan Gilbert pitched a complete-game shutout, holding the Giants to just five hits with seven strikeouts and no walks. Gilbert wouldn’t quite match that mark today – he couldn’t quite go the distance, but still collected seven strikeouts while not issuing […]
Mariners 11, Blue Jays 0 Vinegary potato salad: Randy Arozarena, .29 WPA Mayonnaisey potato salad: Josh Naylor, -.03 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh celebrated the Fourth of July in style on Saturday with some help from the United States Men's National Soccer Team.
The Mariners have scored one run, on a bases-loaded walk, in their last 20 innings of baseball. Logan Gilbert takes on the Blue Jays today approaching a career milestone – he’s nine strikeouts away from his 1,000th career K. That’s a heavy lift for a day’s work, but it would be so special if he […]
Game number 89…..the season is flying by. Winnning a second game in a row would be nice. George Springer is still away, moved to the Family Medical Emergency list, but there is no emergency, just letting George have more time with his son. Unfortunately, it looks like Canada’s time in the World Cup is over. […]
Hello friends, and happy Fourth of July! The Mariners dropped a snoozer to the Blue Jays last night, falling 2-0 thanks to a dazzling performance from Jays starter Dylan Cease. The Mariners have the chance to do the most patriotic thing of all time today and vanquish the invading Canadians. Do you believe the Logan […]
Tonight’s game began with a raucous ceremonial first pitch from head coach Mauricio Pochettino and the U.S. Men’s National Team. Canada would own the rest of the night. The first inning was the canary in the coal mine, as J.P. Crawford biffed yet another throw from the hot corner in the top half, and in […]
Blue Jays 2 Mariners 0 The bad news? We only scored 2 runs, which is pretty normal. The good news? They didn’t score 2 runs. We got both our runs in the third inning. Sean Keys started it with a single. Andrés Giménez doubled him home. John had Nathan Lukes bunt Giménez to third. IN […]

Not satisfied with hosting all these international visitors for the World Cup, Seattle will now tolerate the presence of 30,000 Candians for the annual series against the Blue Jays. The Mariners will look to get a little revenge for their Game 7 loss in last years ALCS, but they’ll have to do it without their […]
Late night baseball, especially for you guys out east. I’m going to put the thread up early, mostly so I don’t forget. There is a little bit of news: Tonight’s lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS MARINERS Nathan Lukes – RF J.P. Crawford – 3B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Randy Arozarena – LF Kazuma Okamoto – […]
Tarik Skubal had a bit of a rocky return to the mound in his first three starts coming back from minor elbow surgery. But his last outing against the New York Yankees proved that the two-time defending Cy Young winner is, indeed, back. He one-hit the Yanks over six innings, allowing one earned run and striking out nine against zero walks. Not that trade talk wouldn't be heating up for Skubal anyway, but this only ramps up the urgency. With the usual big-name teams being mentioned a...
Shi Davidi tells us that Kazuma Okamoto was named AL Rookie of the Month. Only slightly unfair, as he’s not a 30-year-old rookie who played several seasons in the majors in Japan. But we aren’t going have many guy get awards, this year, so lets enjoy. Okamoto had 7 home runs, 20 RBI, 4 doubles […]
Thank goodness for the Angels. The Mariners climbed back over .500 with a sweep of their division rival after a brief dip below that mark following their series in Cleveland last weekend. The three wins against Los Angeles allowed Seattle to keep pace with the Rangers in the division and pull ahead of the faltering […]
Twenty-four years ago today, the Blue Jays traded Raul Mondesi, along with cash, to the Yankees for Scott Wiggins. The return wasn’t significant—Wiggins only pitched three games for Toronto—but the true benefit was shedding Mondesi’s salary and removing an unhappy presence from the clubhouse. Toronto had acquired Mondesi from the Dodgers in November 1999 by […]
The Jays have an off-day today, so we are going to have an Open Thread. And they are unlikely to give us any news today because they have a long plane ride to Seattle. I have enjoyed going to Seattle for games in the past, but I’m not going to the states for a bit. […]
One win and one loss in one-run matchups, a blowout victory, and a convincing defeat as well. The Dodgers’ minor league system clubs experienced nearly all kinds of results on Wednesday. Player of the day Two home runs, one double, and one single. Josue De Paula had a busy performance, constantly involved in the Drillers’ […]
Meet the Mets The Mets were blown out in the finale against the Blue Jays to drop the series. Starter Freddy Peralta was awful again putting the Mets behind early. The offense didn’t score until the game was well out of hand and all told it was just another sloppy loss in a season full […]
The reasoning (kind of) makes sense. The landing spot doesn't.
Back in 2025, the New York Yankees’ mid-season slump cost them the top spot in the AL East. Eventually, they lost their edge to the Toronto Blue Jays, who eliminated them in the ALDS. Coming into 2026, the Yankees certainly didn’t want a repeat of that. Yet concerns are mounting for a team that was […]

Mets 3 Blue Jays 9 One of those, very very rare days, where the offense and the pitching both were great for the Jays. We scored early, we scored often: 12 hits, 2 home runs, 5 for 9 with RISP. All the things we’d like every game. Lukes, Okamoto, Kirk and Clement had two hits […]
On Canada Day, the Mets dropped the rubber game of their series with the Blue Jays, 9-3. The Mets have now lost ten of their last twelve, and are 2-4 in the Andy Green era. Certainly, the Mets hoped that Freddy Peralta’s most recent start was the beginning of a turnaround for the veteran free […]
