Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
The Yankees handled Tampa Bay for the second time in as many days, blowing them out 9-2 behind a pair of Ben Rice home runs as well as a Ryan McMahon grand slam. Of course, there was another game played in between that didn’t go New York’s way, but overall they’ve had a solid series […]

Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Harvey’s Hot Takes, where he shares his opinion on the controversial comments that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made in an interview with Veronica Batista about the 14-year, $500 million contract he signed in 2025, and how his comments look coming out the same day the Blue Jays were officially eliminated from the playoffs.
A .695 OPS and nine home runs do not scream $500 million. Not when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an .848 OPS with 23 homers in 2025 and a .940 OPS with 30 homers the year before. The drop-off has been hard to ignore, especially for a first baseman whose value is supposed to come from […] The post “Didn’t Pay Me to Hit 40 Every Year”: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Fires Back at Critics Amid Blue Jays’ Playoff Exit appeared first on EssentiallySports .
BALTIMORE — Max Scherzer allowed 4 runs and 4 hits in 5 innings Wednesday in the 500th appearance of his career. The 42-year-old right-hander walked 3 and struck out 7 in his 491st career start. The Baltimore Orioles won Game 1 of the doubleheader 4-2. The loss eliminated the Toronto Blue Jays from the postseason […]
The Orioles closed out Camden Yards in fashion on Wednesday night, beating the Blue Jays 4-2 for the second time, completing a sweep of both the double-header and the series, while staving off playoff elimination for a least a few more hours. Trey Gibson was called on to make the spot start, his first time […]
Blue Jays 2 Orioles 4 Well, that was about right. Couldn’t hit at all. Well, not at all, Davis Schneider hit a home run in the ninth. We did load the bases in the seventh in perhaps the weirdest way ever: We had 5 hits. Lukes had 2 of them. We also had 9 strikeouts. […]
Bryan Hayes, Jeff O’Neill and Frank Corrado discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s viral interview with Veronica Batista and how the fans and Blue Jays front office could react to his comments about his struggles and contract details.
It has largely been a season to forget for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from an individual standpoint, which made his recent comments about the 14-year, $500 million contract he and the Toronto Blue Jays agreed to in April 2025 all the more notable.
The Toronto Blue Jays were officially eliminated from the postseason conversation on Wednesday after losing to the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 in the first contest of a doubleheader. After reaching the World Series a season ago, the Blue Jays will not even be in the playoffs this year. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who signed a $500 million […] The post Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s admission about missing playoffs after signing $500 million contract appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Amid a trying season for both Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays, the franchise first baseman is standing by some viral comments he recently made during an interview with Spanish podcaster Veronica Batista. During the episode, which will be released fully on Oct. 4, Guerrero was asked about his 2026 struggles in the first season of his 14-year, $500-million extension with the Blue Jays. “They didn’t pay me to hit 40 every year. The contract was based on what I did, not necessarily...
You won’t find many people who disagree with the statement that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having a disappointing 2026 season. In fact, they may have words even more harsh for a first baseman with only one home run at his home ballpark this year. Through 141 games, Guerrero is slashing .263/.336/.359, with an OPS that ranks 23rd out of 26 qualified first basemen in MLB. He is doing this in the first season of a 14-year, $500 million contract that ranks as the third-largest in league history by g...
Dylan Cease’s debut season with the Toronto Blue Jays has officially come to an end. The Blue Jays placed their ace on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Sept. 20, with right shoulder inflammation ahead of their second game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Cease had gone for an MRI on his shoulder over the weekend after seeing a major drop in his velocity during his last start on Friday against the Texas Rangers. The imaging showed no structural damage, so Tor...
There was a brief moment for just over two weeks in August when the Royals went 13-2 and looked like they were putting some things together. Since then, they have lost series to the Marlins, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Red Sox, Astros, and then got swept by the Pirates. If they lose tonight, it will be […]
We've got a long list of players who are vastly underperforming their exorbitant contracts.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Max Scherzer started the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday, and fans are wondering if it will be Scherzer’s final start of his career. The Blue Jays were eliminated from postseason contention after losing 4-2 to the Baltimore Orioles. Scherzer surrendered four earned runs across five innings of work […] The post Blue Jays’ Max Scherzer drops intriguing hint on MLB future after Orioles start appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Toronto Blue Jays were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday afternoon. Their extremely disappointing season can, more or less, be summed up in two words (well, two and a half): Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The $500 Million Dollar Man massively underperformed in the first year of that 14-year extension, with only nine home runs and a .695 OPS. But while he's disappointed and frustrated with his season, he gave a stunning comment to a Spanish-language outlet about his co...
The Orioles needed three things to happen today in order to stave off elimination from playoff contention for another day. First, they needed the win Game 1 over the Blue Jays. They did that, beating them 4-2 thanks to yet another Pete Alonso home run, a solid showing from Chris Bassitt, and a dominant performance […]

Imagn Images When Blue Jays right-hander and future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer first took the bump for his start against the Orioles on Wednesday, he joined elite company. That’s because the eventual five-inning effort, in which Scherzer allowed four runs on four hits, marked his 500th career game pitched. Of those 500 games on the mound, 491 have been starts. Scherzer is now the 451st pitcher to reach 500 games pitched, but just 54 pitchers in all MLB history have made more starts. At age 42 ...
BALTIMORE — As the rain poured with no signs of abating Tuesday afternoon and the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles discussed whether to postpone the night’s game, Max Scherzer made one demand of John Schneider. “It was,” the manager recalled, “‘make sure you call me at this time when you know, so I can either turn it on or turn it off.” The day’s relentless downpour meant Scherzer turned his legendary intensity off, flipping back on Wednesday in the first half of a split doubleheader, w...
Wednesday notes… Cubs lineup: Marlins lineup: Kevin Gausman, RHP vs. Ryan Gusto, RHP Kevin Gausman’s last five starts: Good, bad, good, bad, good. So… let’s hope we are not in line for “bad” tonight. The potential good news: When he faced the Marlins earlier this year as a member of the Blue Jays, May 27 […]
