Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Marlins 8 Blue Jays 7 When I had to leave the Blue Jays had this one well in hand, but they gave up 4 runs in the 8th and 2 more in the 9th and lost. Pitchers: Hitters, Starters: Others: The Jays are now 1 and 4 this spring. It doesn’t look like they going […]
The Jays and Marlins play in Dunedin at 1:00 Eastern today. We have a bunch of regulars in the lineup. It actually could be close to the lineup they would put out against a lefty starter. And Kevin Gausman gets his first time out there this spring. Gausman set a personal record for innings pitched […]
The headline says it all, but the Jays have signed Max Scherzer to a one-year contract. He’ll make $3 million with ‘up to’ $10 million in incentives. He won’t be starting the season with the Jays. I’d imagine the plan will be to get him going in May with the idea he could join the […]
The Jays have a logjam in their outfield this season. Daulton Varsho is locked into centre, and George Springer looks to mostly man DH, but after that things are up in the air.Addison Barger is probably the priority among the other players. He had a strong rookie season last year, and at 26 with many […]

Today’s Jays’ game is not on TV, one of the few that aren’t on TV. The game is at Lakeland, Florida in the Tigers’ spring park, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium which has to be up there on the list of longest ballpark names, as well as getting two sponsor names into it. It […]
Tyler Rogers is a right-handed, submarine style pitcher. He’s 35. The Jays signed him to a three-year, $37 million contract (with a vesting option for a fourth year at $11 million). Signing a 35-year-old reliever for three or four years, generally, would seem like a bad idea, but then Rogers isn’t your average reliever. We […]
Yankees 8 Blue Jays 7 We got to see the ball/strike appeal system, several times. It works great. Very quick. Beyond that, well, the Yankees scored a lot of runs. Jays pitchers: Batters: Starters: Subs: Tomorrow’s game isn’t on TV. Can listen on radio if you really are hard cord. The Jays are now 1-3 […]
Probably the most perplexing move the Yankees made this offseason was the re-signing of Paul Goldschmidt. After a hot start to last year — especially against lefties — he fell away towards the back half of the season. Plus with the emergence of Ben Rice as a legitimate hitter, it seemed like the Yankees didn’t […]
Last year, the Yankees were ousted by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, after having finished second behind them in the AL East on tiebreakers alone. You’d hope that this season they have some revenge on their minds when it comes to Toronto. They probably don’t need to go all out to show it today, […]
I’m going to post this early because I have to run out this morning, but I should be back about game time. We have an early start time: 1:00 pm Eastern. The Jays are making the stressful bus ride from Dunedin to Tampa Bay to play the Yankees at Steinbrenner Field. I found the worst […]
Meet the Mets The Mets topped the defending American League Champion Blue Jays 4-3 to earn their second spring win. Newcomer Tobias Myers earned the win in his first outing with the club after pitching 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Vidal Bruján did leave the game with an injury after stealing second base. Clay Holmes, who […]
The important news is that Kazuma Okamoto homered, a two-run shot. Beyond that, Jose Berrios pitched 2.2 innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 earned, 1 walk with 2 strikeouts. It doesn’t sound great, but he allowed them in his third inning of work. And I think he’s the first Jay to throw more than two innings […]
The birds are singing, the snow is melting, and pitchers are getting hurt. Spring is here. The Jays have already lost Bowden Francis for the season. Shane Bieber is delayed, and now it sounds like Yimi Garcia will be as well. The Jays wisely invested in depth this winter. Cody Ponce was an interesting signing […]
The New York Mets (2-1) defeated the Toronto Blue Jays (1-2) by a score of 4-3 today at TD Bank Park in Dunedin. The Mets play the Astros tomorrow at Clover Park at 1:10pm. The game will be broadcast on SNY.
The Phillies kicked off the start of their season over the weekend with games against the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates. Many of the names competing for the final few spots in the bullpen and bench played and look to make good impressions for the rest of camp. The first two games of spring […]

Cody Ponce is a 6’6”, 31-year-old (32 on April 25th), right-handed pitcher. I wonder if we could get him to recreate the Jon Rauch explosion at umpire Alfonso Marquez where John Farrell tried to hold him back from punching the umpire. The Jays signed Ponce on December 2nd of last year to a three-year, $30 […]
Blue Jays 10 Red Sox 11 Of course, batters are ahead of pitchers early in spring training. Lots of scoring. Pitching: On offense, the starters: Others: Now we are 1-1 this spring.
Game two of the spring schedule. I was up early and at the bar for the hockey, and that is all I’m saying about it. Though beer at 6:00 in the morning is surprisingly good. The Jays have Fernando Perez as the starting pitcher. He was good in Vancouver last year, 3.05 ERA in 20 […]
Can the US stick it to Canada twice today? We’ll find out! First pitch at 1:05 PM. Is it on TV? You bet! NESN is three-for-three so far in the spring. Give it up for cable television, ladies and gentlemen. What’s the lineup? What should we watch for? As Alex Cora himself said, this is […]
135 days since they were eliminated by the once and future World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, the beta version of the 2026 Philadelphia Phillies took the field for the first time in a 3-0 Spring Training-opening loss to the 2025 World Series runner-up Toronto Blue Jays. Aside from a couple costly pitches from some […]
Philles 0 Blue Jays 3 As everyone knows, the pitchers are ahead of the hitters at the start of spring training (when the teams score a bunch of runs tomorrow, the opening line will be reversed). Jays allowed just 4 hits and 4 walks. Eric Lauer looked sharp in his inning, giving up a single, […]
One of my all-time favourites, Devon Travis, turns 35 today. Travis joined the Blue Jays in a trade with the Tigers on November 13, 2014, with Anthony Gose heading to Detroit. Travis ranked #84 on Baseball America’s top 100 prospects list. Gose, though speedy, had been a disappointment for us, hitting .247/.315/.363 with 34 stolen […]
What a glorious day for baseball! Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
