Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
The Jays made a bit of news today: Jonatan Clase has been optioned to Buffalo. This is his last option year. And Javen Coleman, Michael Plassmeyer, Geovanny Planchart, Sean Keys, Charles McAdoo and Arjun Nimmala have been assigned to the Jays minor league camp. Some of those guys got a fair bit of playing time, […]

Jays 5 Marlins 4 (Six innings, rain-shortened) A win is a win. Pitchers: Batters, starters: Others: I hate rain shortened spring games. I want to see the young guys late him the game.

26-year-old Ben Cowles has been on the Cubs, the Blue Jays, and the White Sox so far this year. The aim is obvious, to get him off the 40-man roster and onto the Triple-A team. If he gets put on waivers, someone claims him, and the circus is back in town. Cowles can play a […]

The Jays are busing to Jupiter, Florida, to play the Marlins. Google Maps says 3.5 hours, which is a long time on a bus. But a number of the veterans are going for the ride. Even George Springer. He really must want the at bats, because he could easily say ‘I don’t want to go’ […]

We haven’t done one of these Question Time things for a few days, but lets try this one? Who of the Jays minor leaguers has impressed you the most this spring? I’m going to pick Brandon Valenzuela. He’s hitting the ball well, 7 for 23 with a home run and I’ve liked his glove behind […]

On December 8, 2009, the Yankees were part of a three-team trade that brought Curtis Granderson’s big smile to the Bronx. New York acquired the center fielder from the Detroit Tigers while sending Austin Jackson and Phil Coke to Detroit and Ian Kennedy to Arizona. The larger trade also included Edwin Jackson going from Detroit […]

As the Red Sox approach Opening Day, it’s time to start taking at look at the other American League playoff contenders. Next up, a team that may still be recovering from baseball heartbreak.

The Mets beat the Blue Jays in a rain-shortened exhibition game this afternoon in Port St. Lucie, and the most important part of the whole thing was that Francisco Lindor played in his first Grapefruit League game since undergoing hand surgery at the very beginning of spring training. Lindor went 1-for-3 with a run scored […]

Blue Jays 1 Yankees 8 That didn’t go well. Eric Lauer didn’t have a good time of it. He went 3.1 allowing 4 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, a home run, and 4 earned. His spring ERA is 8.64. I know spring doesn’t really matter for him, he’s going to make the team, but it […]

Daulton Varsho is a 29-year-old, left handed hitting, center fielder. The Jays picked him up in a trade with the Diamondbacks, in December 2022, for Lourdes Gurriel and Gabriel Moreno when they were trying to remake the team. I don’t know that we were extremely excited about the trade. Daulton didn’t have the best year […]

I’m putting the open thread up today, because the Jays don’t play until the evening and there is nothing pressing as far as Jays news. I have a couple of things I want to write about, but they will take awhile. Jose Berrios wanted to play for Puerto Rico but can’t because of insurance issues. […]
