Shane Bieber has decided to take his $16 million player option and stay with the Blue Jays. I’m shocked. I was sure he would opt out and get more money, even if he went with a short-term contract. Apparently, he liked his Jays teammates and wants to stay with them, at least for another year, […]

In his recap/warning to Blue Jays fans following their quasi-singularly traumatic World Series Game 7 experience, Defector’s Barry Petchesky, referencing the Yankees loss against the Diamondbacks in 2001, put it thusly: So let’s have a little heart-to-heart chat, you, the grieving and traumatized Jays fan, me, a fan who was on the wrong side of what […]

Amid the joy of the Dodgers’ second straight World Series win and subsequent championship parade and celebration on Monday was the absence of pitcher Alex Vesia, one of the team’s best relief pitchers for the last five seasons. Vesia pitched in seven of the Dodgers’ 10 playoff games through the National League Championship Series, but […]

Brett de Geus certainly gets around. Since being drafted in 2017, Brett de Geus has spent time with nine different organizations, including two stints with the Miami Marlins. He started the year with the Blue Jays (who had claimed him off waivers in September), but they sold him to the Pirates, with whom he opened […]

The thoughts of most Torontonians could not be further removed from the NBA right now. The 6ix is now, for the first time in nearly a decade, a bona fide baseball city. World Series Mania has consumed Canadians, and with good reason. The Blue Jays really are Canada’s team, just like the Raptors, and when […]

Happy Monday. I will admit, I’m ok with no longer having GameThreads and Game Recaps hanging over my head every day. Getting into the off-season routine will take a few days; there is enough to discuss about the season just passed to carry us through to the new year. The Jays have four days where […]

Former Blue Jays reliever Paul Quantrill turns 57 today. He spent six seasons with the Jays and pitched in 386 games, sixth in team history for games (and no one will be passing him soon). His best season with the Jays was 1997, when he had a 1.94 ERA in 77 relief appearances. He had […]

Welcome to my weekly monthly very occasional NHL Grab Bag, a feature that, it may surprise you to learn, has tended to focus on the NHL. In theory, I should continue that trend this week. But that would involve a level of dishonesty, because I’d be implying that hockey’s been the top sport on my mind lately. And as all my fellow good Canadians know, that’s just not the case. No, we’re all about the Toronto Blue Jays up here, as they sit one win away from an unlikely World Series championship. ...

As a Toronto Blue Jays fan, I did not expect to feel further disappointment after losing Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings. Leave it to the Detroit Lions to make a bad weekend even worse for me. Coming off a bye week, the Lions were heavily favored against the Minnesota Vikings—they were […]

Another sport rarely takes precedence over hockey on a Saturday night in Canada, but that was the case on November 1 as the Blue Jays faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 7 of the World Series. The fans in attendance at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Blackhawks game wanted to root for the…

It is a perfectly fine and normal reaction this morning to have woken up and proclaimed that the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series last night. In a perfect world, they’d have. In the real world, the pretty much kind of did, for a bit, and that’s enough for most of us. That the […]

I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...

With a few sleepless hours between us and the end of the World Series, I want to give a hat tip to several Blue Jays players. Yesterday’s game hurt, but this was an incredible ride and a fantastic team. I learned a lot about how a team that pulls for each other can do more […]

A day after an exciting Game 6, baseball fans were treated to the two best words in sports on Saturday — Game 7. With a roller coaster half-dozen games behind us, the drama in the final contest between the Blue Jays and Dodgers did not disappoint. It will likely go down as one of the […]

The 2025 season is officially in the books, as the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays in an extra-inning Game 7 thriller. LA never led until they took a one-run advantage in the 11th inning after whittling away at Toronto’s 3-0 start, and try as they might to rally the Blue Jays hit into a double […]

For two years, I have felt like a prophet extolling the virtues of a flexible, pitching demigod that I actually taller than: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He stopped the most prolific offense left in the postseason tournament, the Toronto Blue Jays. For his efforts, Yamamoto was named World Series MVP after closing out Saturday’s win in Game […]

Will Smith caught more innings than any other catcher in a single World Series, and his 11th-inning home run gave the Dodgers their first lead of Game 7, and clinched a second straight championship with a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday night and into Sunday morning at Rogers Centre in Toronto. Seven […]
