Jon Heyman tells us that the Jays offer to Kyle Tucker was $350 million for 10 years. He signed a 4-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers. So I guess the question is will he be able to find a 6-year, $110 million contract at age 33. I guess it is best to get the […]

It is Brad Fullmer’s 51st birthday. Also, 23 years ago (2002), the Blue Jays traded Brad Fullmer to the Angels for Brian Cooper. So it is a shared birthday/today in Jays’ history post. About the trade: Cooper was an RHP. He was 27 at the time. He pitched for the Angels for portions of three […]

Bo’s a Met. Bo Bichette, that is. Kyle Tucker joined the Dodgers, who offered him a cool $240 million for four years, with opt-outs after the second and third years. More power to him. If you can get that kinda money, get right on it. This even though I’ve hated the Dodgers from the git-go. […]

It was a sucker punch. All week, every national media pundit and baseball writer insisted the Phillies were “heavy favorites” to land free agent infielder Bo Bichette. All week, momentum had been building. Meanwhile, negotiations continued. While nothing is ever certain until the dotted line is signed, we were almost assured Bichette was already trying […]

Another year, another sticker shock for the Dodgers, who have leaned into their role as the biggest spenders in the sport, with gusto. Kyle Tucker is their newest prize, picking Los Angeles over the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays, his two other reported closest pursuers. Tucker signed for a reported $240 million over […]

The Dodgers have made themselves quite comfortable in the deep end of the free agent pool. First came the signing of closer Edwin Díaz to a record-setting contract, and now comes outfielder Kyle Tucker, the top free agent on the market, per multiple reports. Jeff Passan was first to report the pact, which is worth […]

While we wait to hear who Kyle Tucker has decided to sign with, (I have to go out in a bit, so of course he’ll wait until then) let’s have another one of these. Angel Bastardo (what an amazing name) is a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher who the Jays picked up in the Rule 5 Draft […]

It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]

Rance Mulliniks turns 70 today. Rance was one of my favourite players because he seemed to get the absolute most out of his natural abilities. He wasn’t big or fast. He wore glasses. A left-handed hitter, geeky looking, wore glasses. How could I not like him? You didn’t think ‘professional athlete’ when you looked at […]

25 Years Ago On January 14, 2001, the Blue Jays traded 37-year-old David Wells and Matt DeWitt to the White Sox for Mike Sirotka, Mike Williams, Kevin Beirne, and Brian Simmons. The only two that mattered were Wells and Sirotka. DeWitt and Williams were traded back for each other before the season started. The Jays […]

It’s been 97 days since the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the eventual pennant-winning Toronto Blue Jays. While the Yankees have done some minor housekeeping in the offseason, they have yet to add an external player who isn’t a waiver claim, on a minor-league deal, or dealing with Rule 5 […]

It looks like we are going close to the finish line on the Kyle Tucker chase. The Mets have made a “short-term’ offer to Tucker. Apparently, they have offered $50 million a season for three-years. And the Blue Jays have made a longer term offer to him, but there are no details on their offer. […]

It’s been widely reported that the Phillies are interested in Bo Bichette and met with him on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Maybe he signed with them (or someone else) by the time you read this. There are good reasons to like Bichette as a player. He hit .311 with […]

Eighteen years ago today. The trade was official on the 14th, but we got wind of it on the 12th, so let’s split the difference. In the middle of a very slow January for Blue Jays news, the Jays traded Troy Glaus to the Cardinals for Scott Rolen. As Hugo said in his post on […]

This would have been big news a few years ago. Eloy Jiménez was a top prospect, #3 on the Baseball America in 2019 and #4 in 2018. He’s a 29-year-old, right-handed hitting outfielder. He plays the corner outfield spot, with no time in center field in the minors. He made it to the majors in […]
