Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Braves 0 Blue Jays 7 Nice to see the Jays score some. Early in spring we didn’t seem to be able to score. Dylan Cease was really good. 3 innings, 2 hits, and 3 strikeouts. Reached 97.5 mph on the fastball. Other pitchers: Offense, Starters: Others: The Jays are 7-8 on the spring now. Tomorrow […]

After an off-day, the Jays are back at it, hosting the Braves. I’m putting this together Monday night, so I don’t have the lineups. But the Jays have Dylan Cease making his second spring start. I’d guess they would want 3-4 innings out of him. The Braves are starting JR Ritchie, who pitched in the […]

We’re back with Tuesday Spring Training to go alongside your dose of the WBC. Seattle native JR Ritchie will be entering his third game and first start with the Braves after being invited as a non-roster prospect during this Spring Training series. This is an open opportunity for him, especially after the news that LHP […]

His name is no longer just Will Klein. It will now forever be linked with the moniker World Series Hero Will Klein. In the marathon game that was Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, it was Klein that kept the Dodgers tied with the Toronto Blue Jays. He gave everything he had, going four […]

There are six WBC games today, which is nice because there are no Blue Jays games. The games: I think the Mexico/USA game is the one I’m most interested it.

He came to the Rockies after working for both the Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants, and has been making his mark on the team right out of the gate. “I learned a ton [in my previous positions],” […]

Two weeks remain until the Orioles head north from Sarasota. At least for the next few days, nicer weather up in Birdland makes it feel like spring here rather than a lingering winter. That’s nice. Also nice is that today’s game will be aired on MASN and on the Orioles flagship radio stations in Baltimore. […]

Jays 1 Phillies 0 The best part of this one was that Max Scherzer started and threw 4 no-hit innings, allowing just 1 walk with 1 strikeouts. He was helped out by some defensive play, but he got through the four innings on just 40 pitches (29 strikeouts). Max was terrific. I didn’t think he’d […]

The Jays make the short drive to Clearwater to play the Phillies. We get out first look Max Scherzer this spring. He says he’ll be ready for opening day. I didn’t expect that he would be in the rotation to start the season. I think the odds of him being able to give us 30 […]

Brandon Valenzuela is a 25-year-old switch-hitting catcher born in Hermosillo, Mexico (he has a good role model as a Mexican-born catcher in Kirk). The Blue Jays picked him up from the Padres in trade for Will Wagner. MLB.com has Valenzuela as #24 on their Jays top 30 prospect list. He was added to the Jays’ […]

Pirates 2 Blue Jays 9 Not that it really matters, but it is nice to have a win. José Berríos wasn’t great but only allowed 2 earned, with 5 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts and a home run. His ERA is now 3.38 on the spring. Normally, I’d say his spring training numbers don’t matter, […]

When Justin Crawford started out Grapefruit League games with a few strong games, there was a distinct sentiment that the rookie should not only be in the team’s starting lineup, but he should be batting at the very top of it from day one. I understand the sentiment, because based on his performance in the […]

During 2025 spring training, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner has said some positive things about New Jersey native Justin Hagenman. Hefner was impressed with some additional velocity that his pitches had and his ability to command them, but he ultimately did not make the big league club. The right-hander began the 2025 season in Triple-A Syracuse […]

This, after the news of Jurickson Profar’s second suspension, would be a highlight as everyone […]

Myles Straw is a 31-year-old, right-handed hitting, center fielder. The Jays traded for him on January 17th, 2025. We got Myles Straw and some international bonus pool money money. At the time we thought/hoped the money would go to Roki Sasaki. Unfortunately, Roki went to the Dodgers and the Jays had to pretend they wanted […]
