The Rays might cruise to an American League East title if they were to play all of their remaining games north of the border. Wednesday’s 4-2 victory was the team’s third straight in Toronto, and the team is now 5-1 on the season at Rogers Centre. Griffin Jax took the bump for the Rays, looking […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Dodgers: Let’s talk about it.
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
Darshan Desai at Uncrowned reports that former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia has filed suit against the sanctioning body, alleging a conspiracy on the part of the WBA, WBC, WBO, former promoter Eddie Hearn, and others to punish him for signing with Zuffa Boxing. The IBF stripped Opetaia (30-0, 23 KO) of the belt ahead […]
Today marks Dave Stieb’s 69th birthday. We saw Stieb on the weekend. He looks like he could still play. Stieb holds the franchise records for wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started, complete games, and many other pitching categories. His 103 complete games in 408 starts for the Blue Jays is a mark unlikely to be […]

The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
The MLB trade market is moving.
From first to worst, the Toronto Blue Jays complete 180 is shocking to say the least
The dominant Canadian entity continues to make large-scale moves.
With 11 Major League Baseball teams hovering within three games of .500 while even the mighty Dodgers have cobbled together a losing record thus far in July, the 2026 World Series may well hinge on which clubs are able to make the perfect trade deadline pickups.
The dominant Canadian entity continues to make large-scale moves.
Apparently the Rays needed to leave the country to get back on track. Their offense perked up in their 7-1 win on Monday night, but it caught on fire – in a good, and not a dumpster way— tonight. Every player other than Taylor Walls had a hit, and even Walls still managed to score […]
The Jays haven’t, obviously, been good this season. This week has felt like the bottom finally falling out, though. They’re now equidistant between the third wildcard and last place in the American League. Their run differential is tied with the last place Angels. It hasn’t been fun to watch, but after months of thinking they […]
The Toronto Blue Jays were blown out in the first of their three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, and their swoon to the bottom of the American League East Division continued. From first to worst. The Jays are obviously, at this point, a team that must consider a sell-off as we approach the trade deadline in less than two weeks. " As much as Toronto doesn't want to chase its (2025) pennant run with a (2026) deadline sale, good organizations recognize that sometimes it's not...
The Toronto Blue Jays‘ season has gone from bad to worse. The team dropped another lopsided decision on Monday to […]
So I thought I’d go through this little exercise just for my own sense of ‘what the hell is going on’. Over the last 22 games, four weeks (with the All Star break in there), the Jays are 7-15. They’ve averaged 3.5 runs a game. Quite the stretch run. The batters are hitting .214/.272/.337….which makes […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are looking like a team with no choice but to sell at the trade deadline.
Hell has frozen over, pigs have flown, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to a lead and won a baseball game in the second half. The never-wavering All-Star Nick Martinez, also known as “El Capitan”, proved to be the streak stopper, going six innings and only allowing one run. I feel like Rogers Centre […]
Joe Ryan has become one of the most sought-after arms on the trade market, and the Minnesota Twins face a franchise-altering decision on the right-hander ahead of the August 3 deadline. ESPN's Jeff Passan gave Ryan a 55 percent chance of being traded, listing the Cubs, Padres, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Braves, White Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Cardinals among his best fits.
The 30-year-old is having an outstanding season, previously sitting at a 2.85 ERA, before Monday's brutal outing, wit...
Rays 7 Blue Jays 1 I really thought the Rays had more than seven runs. It was a terrible game in all ways: We did have 8 hits on the day. Clement, Lukes and Springer had 2 each. Varsho (bloop single) and Kirk had the other two. I guess we only hit into 2 double […]
I’m past hoping for wins. I’d just like it to look like the Jays are trying. I understand that you can try and have it not look like you are, but…..please put in an effort today. Maybe more than 5 hits….let’s go for 8 hits with at least one being for extra bases. And let’s […]
Another Monday, another new series starts. Four games against the Rays. The pitching matchups: Max Scherzer starts for the Bisons Wednesday, they are saying he’ll have another rehab start after that. If he could have a great start for the Jays after that and get traded off the next day, that would be the best […]
Where will Kevin Gausman get traded? These three teams make the most sense
Fourteen Years Ago Today The Blue Jays and the Astros made a ten-player trade: Happ played for us for 2.5 seasons. He was hurt quite a bit, including one injury when a line drive hit him in the head, and he ended up on the DL with a leg injury. In 2.5 seasons, he had […]
