Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
After seeing their franchise-record-tying 15-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday night, the Red Sox returned from Thursday’s off day with a 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays in Friday night’s series opener at Fenway Park.
Blue Jays 4 Red Sox 6 So it was a better effort than we’ve seen of late. Kuzuma Okamoto hit a three-run home run in the seventh (which got us back into the game). Andrés Giménez hit a sac fly in the eighth (which tied the game). That was homer 23 for Okamoto, setting a […]
This could’ve been a barnstormer. Both starters were giving runs away early and often, both lineups had chances to blow this thing open, and instead a game that felt like it wanted to be 10-8 or more ended 6-4. The Red Sox left runners on base all night (11 to be exact), watched the bullpen […]
Kevin Gausman's days as a Toronto Blue Jay might be coming to a close. He doesn't want to admit it, but heading into free agency after the season, it only makes sense for the Jays, who are sellers at this trade deadline, to get some prospect capital back for one of the game's top pitchers of this decade. There are a number of teams who could use a starter of his caliber down the stretch, particularly one with the type of playoff experience he has. One of those teams, the Chicago Cubs, has been...
Coming out of the All-Star break neck-and-neck with the Cleveland Guardians, the Chicago White Sox knew they had to hit the ground running. With two road series on deck against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, winning each respective series was all that mattered and the White Sox did exactly that. Thanks to […]
An Apple TV game, because MLB will never turn down a dollar. It would be nice to win a game or two this series. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RED SOX Ernie Clement – SS Anthony Seigler – 2B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Ceddanne Rafaela – CF Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Wilyer Abreu – RF George […]
AL East rivals renew their rivalry Friday night as the Blue Jays visit Fenway Park to begin a pivotal three-game series against the surging Red Sox. How to Watch Blue Jays vs Red Sox Boston enters the weekend riding one…
What a year for the Blue Jays. Inches away from a World Series, sign the biggest free agent pitcher on the market and he’s an ace. Have perhaps the best first baseman in the American League but he forgets how to hit. Now as the trade deadline nears the thing the Red Sox feared would […]
So now that we are firmly in the sell camp, let’s have a contest to guess which players will be traded away. The problem the Jays have is that they don’t have that guy who will net them top prospects. They don’t have Tarik Skubal, who will be the one that everyone will be bidding […]
Thursday was a rare quiet day across the American League, with just three games going on and only two of them on our radar. The Yankees were one of many that had the day off as they travelled to Philadelphia, so they had nothing to do but see if the Blue Jays could do them […]
Shortly after Steve Cohen bought the franchise, he shared his desire to turn the Mets (43-60) into an east coast version of the Dodgers (65-38). Simply put, that hasn’t happened yet, as the Mets have spent quite a bit of money on their major league payroll but haven’t been consistent when it comes to making […]
The Toronto Blue Jays salvaged the final game in their series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, but they were thoroughly outclassed in the first two, and really established themselves as an also-ran this season. They are certain to be sellers at the deadline, and have a few notable trade candidates. In this proposed deal, hypothesized by Mitch Bannon in The Athletic , the Jays would send out two players to the Philadelphia Phillies to fill big voids on the Phils' roster. Philadelph...
With more than seven years of Major League experience, Jordan Romano is no stranger to serving as a closer. The Canadian right-hander spent the first six years of his Major League career with the Toronto Blue Jays before moving to Philadelphia for a year in 2025, and was most recently with the Los Angeles Angels […]
The trade value of Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Shane Bieber is reportedly "trending upward after an impressive start today against the playoff-bound Tampa Bay Rays," per Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
It is tough to sweep a four-game series, unless you are the impossibly hot Boston Red Sox. Perhaps Shane Bieber took it upon himself to make Kyle Snyder, Kevin Cash, and the front office beliebers and effort to acquire him before the August 3rd deadline. Bieber had his second consecutive fantastic outing since the break […]
Rays 1 Blue Jays 3 WE SCORED THREE RUNS! It isn’t like we had a lot of hits, just seven (with three walks). But it was enough We scored a run in each of the first, third and seventh innings: Vlad and George (with a walk) had two hits each. Yohendrick, Clement, and Kirk had […]
On Thursday afternoon, the Rays were hoping to wrap up their four-game series against the Blue Jays with a sweep. To get the job done, they had Casey Legumina working the opener role, up against Shane Bieber for the Blue Jays. The Rays went 1-2-3 to start the first inning. In the home half, Ernie […]
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle questions on a potential (likely?) deadline sell-off for the Jays, the extent to which starting pitchers can hurt their stock with poor outings leading into the deadline, some possible White Sox targets, the Giants’ veteran trade candidates, the Pirates’ closing need, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas and more! Let’s get […]
A year after reaching the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays are staring at a deadline sell-off, and Daulton Varsho is the name generating the most interest. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Foul Territory, the Blue Jays will have to move Varsho, and the veteran outfielder is expected to have plenty of suitors. "I think Varsho will have a lot of suitors," Nightengale said. "So, I think these next 10 days are as big to them as any organization in baseball." Varsho is hitting .237 with...
1:46pm: The Jays have now made it official. They announced they have claimed Martin and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo, with Barger moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. 12:30pm: The Blue Jays have claimed outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. off waivers from the Orioles, reports Ari Alexander of 7News Boston. Baltimore designated him […]
Go Rays!
Expect some surprising trades from the Blue Jays
We haven’t hit the daily roster moves frequency that Alex Anthopoulos gave us, but we are making moves lately. Corbin pitched Tuesday and it didn’t go well, 2.1 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned, 3 strikeouts. His ERA has jumped to 5.51. It was 3.65 at the end of May. Had to figure something was going […]
As the Blue Jays continue to trend toward selling, there’ll be an increased focus on some of their short-term veterans — rentals in particular. Right-hander Kevin Gausman stands as one of the most prominent names who could be shipped out if Toronto does sell, recent struggles notwithstanding. Gausman’s five-year $110MM contract, which expires at season’s […]
The Blue Jays might not be able to trade Gausman to these 8 teams
