Blame it on their aggressive offseason that the Toronto Blue Jays are projected to have a payroll of over $ 307 million in 2026. This makes them eligible for a $32 million luxury tax penalty. By exceeding the second surcharge threshold of the CBT, the Blue Jays received a 10-pick penalty on their first selections […]

So yesterday didn’t go to plan. The Cubs treated Kevin Gausman like a nine-man Qatari soccer team, dissipating the good vibes from the sweep of the Red Sox. But it’s a new day. Patrick Corbin (2-3, 4.57) is no great shakes at this point in his career, but I think he can give us more […]

These are the days when I’m super jealous of Al. A June afternoon at the park while the Cubs are playing pinball. To be fair, he’s watched a metric ton of bad baseball this year (and nine walk-offs too!). I’m sure I’m suffering from some recency bias, but this has felt like the weirdest ever […]

The Toronto Blue Jays already have one of the most expensive rosters in baseball. They appear willing to make it even more expensive.
Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic , at least one rival club is under the impression that Toronto would take on additional payroll at the August 3 trade deadline to acquire the offense it needs.

You just can’t come up with enough superlatives to describe Cam Schlittler. The flame throwing righty struck out a career-high 13 batters in the series opener against the Reds to widen his lead in the AL Cy Young race. His six scoreless innings and home runs by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice proved the […]
After being swept by the Blue Jays in three games at Fenway Park, the Red Sox flew to Seattle where left-hander Ranger Suarez took a no-hitter into the seventh inning.
I told you this Cubs offense would come alive at some point! I certainly didn’t expect all of it to explode in one game, though that was sure fun to watch. The Cubs matched their season high in hits (18) and set season highs for walks (11) and runs in a 16-2 demolition of the […]
Blue Jays Little Cubs Lots As well as being a terrible baseball game, Vlad Guerrero left the game with a back issue after a swing. They are saying he will play tomorrow, but I wouldn’t bet on it. There are games like this, but I really didn’t expect it from Kevin Gausman. Kevin had four […]

The Red Sox were swept at Fenway Park again. This time by the only mildly hapless Toronto Blue Jays. A team that had to pick up a DFA’d pitcher who would, of course, provide innings of scoreless relief against Boston. 6-1, sure that was bad. 2-0? Seriously? 4-3 on a wind carried popup? Sigh. Now […]
