Latest blog entries from Toronto teams across every league
41 Years Ago On August 29, 1985, the Blue Jays traded three minor leaguers—Matt Williams (not that Matt Williams), Jeff Mays, and Greg Ferlanda—to the Texas Rangers in exchange for Cliff Johnson. At the time of the trade, the Blue Jays were in first place, 4.5 games ahead of the second-place Yankees, but they were […]
While the Clippers, the Raptors and the rest of the NBA await the findings of the investigation into possible salary cap circumvention by Steve Ballmer and Kawhi Leonard, ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne reported Thursday in a radio interview that some progress is being made in the case, relays Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. “I know that the investigators […]
Buck Martinez, the former player, manager, and longtime announcer for the Toronto Blue Jays, was one of the first members inducted into the team’s new Hall of Excellence on Saturday ahead of their game against the Seattle Mariners. The Hall of Excellence is a refreshed edition of the team’s previous Level of Excellence, which was…
Mariners 3 Blue Jays 4 That was a terrific celebration for Buck Martinez. Seeing Tony Fernandez’s widow started me tearing up, and it didn’t stop until the first pitch of the game. Congratulations, Buck. You deserve that. The Jays got a very nice start from José Soriano. Seven innings, just five hits, two walks and […]
The Yankees have designated right-handed reliever Justin Topa for assignment, per a team announcement. They activated lefty Max Fried from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. New York now has two open spots on its 40-man roster. Topa, who previously spent time with the Twins, Royals and Blue Jays this season, signed a […]
Ramona Shelburne reported that the Clippers would be “fine with Kawhi being back on the team.”
Kinda weird that the schedulers had the M’s on an off day on a Friday yesterday, huh? No matter, though, because today we get Kade Anderson’s second career big league start, and first one away from the friendly confines of T-Mobile Park. While the Mariners won in an absolute thriller in his debut, I think […]
It is Buck Martinez Day. He’ll join the ‘Hall of Excellence’, which just opened Game two against the Mariners. I hope it goes much the same as yesterday. And it is game #137. The Jays plan to have Spencer Arrighetti start Tuesday, Dylan Cease Wednesday and Jose Soriano Thurday against the Guardians. Jameson Taillon threw […]
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease extended one of baseball’s longest modern strikeout streaks Friday, becoming the first pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2001 to record at least seven strikeouts in 19 consecutive starts. Cease struck out eight across six innings in Toronto’s 8-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Rogers Centre. He allowed four […] The post Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease accomplishes feat not seen since Randy Johnson 25 years ago appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Toronto Maple Leafs are approaching another season with two very different timelines running simultaneously. On one hand, the organization is trying to win now with a roster built around…
Hello friends and happy Saturday! It was a sad Friday night for the M’s, who dropped the first game to the Blue Jays by an 8-1 final. We don’t need to dwell on this one too much. Let’s get you caught up on the rest of the happenings from around baseball. In Mariners news… Around […]
Shead has the tools to be more than a backup guard. His offence could decide how far he goes. The post Will Raptors’ Jamal Shead remain the best bench player in the NBA? first appeared on Raptors Republic .
The Raptors should, in theory, have their best half-court offence since Kyle Lowry. The post 31 days, 31 questions: Will the Raptors finally have a good half-court offence? first appeared on Raptors Republic .
Easton Cowan’s first professional season was rarely straightforward. He made the Maple Leafs out of training camp — even though he did not dress in the first two games — despite a perfectly reasonable argument that he belonged with the Marlies, where he could play big minutes in all situations. He bounced between the top […] The post Easton Cowan ended his rookie year as an AHL champion; is he ready for an impact role with the Leafs? [2026-27 Player Preview] appeared first on Maple Leafs Hot...
The Yankees’ offense was up to its old tricks on Friday, mustering a mere solo shot by Paul Goldschmidt and three hits in total against the middling Patrick Sandoval and the Red Sox bullpen. They even had extra chances granted due to four walks, but still never came up with the big hit when runners […]
Toronto Maple Leafs fourth-round pick Patriks Plumins appears to be set to play for the Chicoutimi Sagueneens of the QMJHL in 2025-26. Première pratique avec les Sags pour Patriks Plumins ✅ Le gardien letton de 6’4”, repêché en 4e ronde par les Maple Leafs de Toronto, a fait son arrivée à Chicoutimi hier🇱🇻#fierdetresags pic.twitter.com/ljbXH1jb2g —…
The headliner of the Blue Jays' return in the Jeff Hoffman deal with the Twins opened up about being traded.
Another week light week on the Toronto Maple Leafs news front unless you want to rage a little about ticket prices. There’s nothing new to see here. The team can get away with it so they can do it. Is it bad for growing the support in the biggest hockey market in the world? Probably….
Mariners 1 Blue Jays 8 Today’s game was soooo much more fun than yesterday’s. First, Dylan Cease was excellent—six innings, just four hits, one walk and eight strikeouts. The run against was a home run by the second batter of the day. We were a little worried for a moment. But just a moment. He […]
Despite working with some of his worst stuff of the season, Dylan Cease carved through the Mariners’ lineup tonight. The Cy Young frontrunner did it the same way he did when he faced Seattle two months ago: sliders and changeups tumbling, pushing the Mariners to chase the fastball high. The meanest pitch was the one […]

What is there to say about Michael Wacha at this point? Do you think any teams are regretting not blowing the Royals away with an offer for him at the trade deadline? All I can say for sure is that the Royals and Royals fans can be very happy he’s still in KC, as he […]
Likely Cy Young winner vs. the 2026 Seattle Mariners. What could go wrong? The last time the Mariners ran into the Cease buzzsaw, he came away with nine strikeouts over seven innings, with a walk, two singles, and a double. The Mariners’ offense has showed a little more life lately, so maybe they’ll be able […]
New general manager John Chayka hasn't been shy in making changes to the Toronto Maple Leafs roster this off-season. And something tells us he might not be done yet. As training camp quickly approaches in a few weeks, there are a number of under-the-radar unrestricted free agents still out on the market looking for a contract or an invite to camp. Andre Leal of The Hockey News has proposed three players that make sense for the Leafs to try to bring in on a PTO: Nick Blankenburg, D Chayka...
