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 […]

September 23: Cease is now on the IL due to that shoulder inflammation, per the team. It seems the Jays were waiting to be officially eliminated, which happened when they lost the first game of today’s doubleheader. The Jays also optioned righty José Rodríguez. Righties Chase Lee and CJ Van Eyk were recalled as the […]
BALTIMORE—For the moment, the Orioles remain alive in the wild-card race, but just barely. Entering the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, the Orioles would have had to win their last five games while the Chicago White Sox lost their last five. The Orioles managed a 4-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays before 10,562 at […]

Kawhi Leonard signed a two-year extension with the Raptors.
The Toronto Blue Jays saw their 2026 postseason hopes end Wednesday, cutting short their bid to return to the World Series one year after falling just short of a championship. Toronto’s season ended Wednesday with a 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Camden Yards. The defeat dropped the […]

Blue Jays 2 Orioles 4 We are officially eliminated from the playoffs. Stop me if you have heard this one, but the Jays didn’t score enough. And Pete Alonso hit a home run. Max Scherzer had a very 2026 Max Scherzer type of start: 5 innings, 4 hits, 4 earned, 3 walks, though the 7 […]
The Orioles avoided being eliminated for at least a few more hours by winning the first game of their doubleheader against Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. In the process, they officially eliminated the Blue Jays from postseason contention. Too bad, so sad. In short, Chris Bassitt got the better of Max Scherzer in the Old Guy […]
The Blue Jays are stuck with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., but we expect Shane Bieber to be among those leaving Toronto this offseason.
Everything is seemingly lined up for Max Scherzer to retire after his 19th season in Major League Baseball, but the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher isn't ready to say 2026 is his final year.
Kawhi Leonard’s luck of playoff success with the Clippers is a red flag.
There is a pretty simple question surrounding Collin Murray-Boyles entering his second NBA season: how high can his ceiling actually be? Selected ninth overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, Murray-Boyles entered Toronto with plenty of intrigue. At 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds, he is undersized for a traditional center, but his strength, physicality and instincts allow […]
Raptors The Raptors gave Kawhi Leonard plenty of security with his new extension. Leonard gave Toronto something valuable in return. Leonard’s two-year, $115 million extension came in roughly $11 million below the maximum available to him. That represents approximately $5.5 million in additional flexibility during each season of the deal. In the NBA’s apron era, that is not an insignificant discount. The savings could help Toronto sign another rotation player or address a weakness around Leona...
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer is nearing the end of his career.
The waiver list keeps growing. NHL teams waived 34 players on Wednesday, per Puckpedia, including Dakota Mermis and Cole McWard of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Philadelphia Flyers were the busiest team, waiving six players including veteran forward Zach Aston-Reese and winger Nolan Foote, the younger son of ex-Vancouver Canucks head coach Adam Foote. Defending Western Conference champion Vegas waived five players, headlined by defenceman Jaycob Megna. The Vancouver Canucks cut ties with forwar...

Getty Images Just as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was in many ways the face of the Blue Jays’ 2025 playoff run that saw them claim the third pennant in franchise history and push the juggernaut Dodgers to the absolute brink in the World Series, he’s also been the face of Toronto’s surprising struggles in 2026. The Jays are on the verge of elimination and will likely finish below .500 despite expectations of title contention. As for Guerrero Jr., his numbers at the plate tumbled this year: That amount...
