And just like that, the Maple Leafs’ preseason is over in the blink of an eye. As we always say, there are too many factors at play in preseason to take the results at face value.

Welcome to the big-leagues, Gavin McKenna. The 2026 first-overall pick potted his first apple of the pre-season as the Toronto Maple Leafs dominated the Ottawa Senators 6-1 at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night. The Maple Leafs’ Group B squad also topped the Senators 4-2 in Ottawa to close out their pre-season. McKenna got his first exhibition point in the final minute of the first period, a secondary assist on a John Tavares goal that made it 3-1 for the home squad. Tim Stutzle opened the sc...
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 .

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 […]
Kyle Anderson could be an intriguing trade target for the 76ers if the Raptors find him superfluous to have on the roster.
It doesn’t matter if it’s preseason, regular season, playoffs, or whether either team has a full NHL roster, games between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators will always be scrappy.

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.

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.
