Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
The Dodgers have made themselves quite comfortable in the deep end of the free agent pool. First came the signing of closer Edwin Díaz to a record-setting contract, and now comes outfielder Kyle Tucker, the top free agent on the market, per multiple reports. Jeff Passan was first to report the pact. Tucker has topped […]

While we wait to hear who Kyle Tucker has decided to sign with, (I have to go out in a bit, so of course he’ll wait until then) let’s have another one of these. Angel Bastardo (what an amazing name) is a 23-year-old right-handed pitcher who the Jays picked up in the Rule 5 Draft […]

It seems all great, young teams need that one guy who’s been through it before. We just saw the Toronto Blue Jays on a World Series chase with Max Scherzer holding court in the dugout every night, and for the 2017 Baby Bomber Yankee team, that man was Matt Holliday… or at least he was […]

Rance Mulliniks turns 70 today. Rance was one of my favourite players because he seemed to get the absolute most out of his natural abilities. He wasn’t big or fast. He wore glasses. A left-handed hitter, geeky looking, wore glasses. How could I not like him? You didn’t think ‘professional athlete’ when you looked at […]

25 Years Ago On January 14, 2001, the Blue Jays traded 37-year-old David Wells and Matt DeWitt to the White Sox for Mike Sirotka, Mike Williams, Kevin Beirne, and Brian Simmons. The only two that mattered were Wells and Sirotka. DeWitt and Williams were traded back for each other before the season started. The Jays […]

It’s been 97 days since the Yankees were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALDS by the eventual pennant-winning Toronto Blue Jays. While the Yankees have done some minor housekeeping in the offseason, they have yet to add an external player who isn’t a waiver claim, on a minor-league deal, or dealing with Rule 5 […]

It looks like we are going close to the finish line on the Kyle Tucker chase. The Mets have made a “short-term’ offer to Tucker. Apparently, they have offered $50 million a season for three-years. And the Blue Jays have made a longer term offer to him, but there are no details on their offer. […]

It’s been widely reported that the Phillies are interested in Bo Bichette and met with him on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Maybe he signed with them (or someone else) by the time you read this. There are good reasons to like Bichette as a player. He hit .311 with […]

Meet the Mets The Mets are believed to be one of three finalists for Kyle Tucker and have held conversations with the All-Star outfielder and his team, which have been described as “positive”. The Blue Jays and Dodgers are the other finalists. In Anthony McCarron’s bold predictions for the remainder of the offseason, he sees […]

Eighteen years ago today. The trade was official on the 14th, but we got wind of it on the 12th, so let’s split the difference. In the middle of a very slow January for Blue Jays news, the Jays traded Troy Glaus to the Cardinals for Scott Rolen. As Hugo said in his post on […]

Addison Barger was added to the Jays’ 40-man in November 2022 to protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He’s 26 and, in two seasons, he’s played 204 games for the Blue Jays, with a .229/.286/.422 line and 28 home runs. In 2025, he split time between third and right field, playing 91 games at […]

This would have been big news a few years ago. Eloy Jiménez was a top prospect, #3 on the Baseball America in 2019 and #4 in 2018. He’s a 29-year-old, right-handed hitting outfielder. He plays the corner outfield spot, with no time in center field in the minors. He made it to the majors in […]

Meet the Mets Along with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays, the Mets have met with free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker either in person or via Zoom. It’s going to be a hard task for Juan Soto to improve his outfield defense, but would you really put it past him to figure out how to […]

Since the start of the offseason, all San Diego Padres fans and many sports journalists have discussed the need for starting pitching for the 2026 season. It is no secret that the team lost Dylan Cease for the 2026 season to the Toronto Blue Jays on a seven-year, $210 million contract. Retaining Michael King on […]

Not much for Jays’ news today. Eric Lauer (all Erics should come together and pick one spelling for their name) and the Jays filed their numbers with the arbitrator. Lauer is asking for $5.75 million the team is at $4.4 million. I’m generally on the player’s side in these things, but I can’t see why […]

This week, we asked you the readers about if there was anyone else the team should be considering signing this offseason. The results? Now, maybe this was a sign of the times. Maybe these were the results after it was announced that the team was having a meeting with Bichette. However, he does seem to […]

Former Blue Jays center fielder Otis Nixon turns 67 today. Nixon had a 17-year MLB career. He spent two of those years (well, just short of two years) with the Jays. With the Jays, he hit .275/.362/.317 (it is hard to imagine an outfielder with a Slugging Average that low) with 2 home runs and […]

After claiming Joey Wiemer on Monday, Paul Toboni is using the waiver wire again. This time he has claimed Blue Jays pitcher Paxton Schultz. I like this claim, and think Schultz will have a place on the roster. He is a swing man, who can fill a variety of roles and also has solid stuff. […]

The Jays made deals with three of the four arbitration eligible players: Eric Lauer looks to be heading to arbitration, unless they make a last-minute deal, but most teams don’t negotiate after exchanging arbitration numbers. Lauer filed for $5.75 million with the team going with $4.4 million. I have no opinion on which number is […]

With things at a standstill on the Cody Bellinger front, more rumors are floating about their supposed Plan B, Bo Bichette. Jon Heyman reported that the Yankees are looking at Bichette “more seriously.” The Phillies have also expressed interest in Bichette, as have the same Blue Jays that he just left at the start of […]

It is not a hot take to believe the Phillies should sign free agent Bo Bichette to a free agent contract. The reasons why it would be a brilliant on-field move are legion. The 27-year-old shortstop was leading the American League in hits before he went on the Injured List with a bad leg, but […]
