Can the Red Sox really field a functioning lineup for a surprise playoff run?
The 2026 Boston Red Sox are somehow just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot entering the final two games before the All-Star break. Just three teams sit ahead of them in between the final wild card spot with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Houston Astros and the Minnesota Twins. That field has shrunk in […]
Okamoto Homers, Jays Win
Blue Jay 5 Padres 3 A three-game win streak. A few days ago that would have seemed impossible. We owe this one to Kazuma Okamoto, who hit a three-run home run in the fifth. In that fifth inning, Myles Straw started it with a bunt single (very nicely done Straw). Jonatan Clase flied out. Then […]

Twins Acquire Tommy Nance From Blue Jays
4:15pm: Both clubs have now announced the trade. The Twins transferred right-hander Mick Abel to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. He first landed on the 15-day IL April 17, so he has already been out more than 60 days. That makes him eligible for reinstatement at any time. He underwent arthroscopic […]
Blue Jays & Twins Complete Trade — But Not As You'd Expect
In recent years, particularly last season, whenever the Toronto Blue Jays and Minnesota Twins complete a trade, it's the Jays who are the buyers and the Twins who are the sellers. But in a one-for-one deal on Friday, it appears at first glance to be the reverse. It's the Twins who are bolstering their bullpen by acquiring right-hander Tommy Nance and his 3.22 ERA over the last three years. The Minnesota Twins have acquired RHP Tommy Nance from the Blue Jays.

Taking Wing: Jay Harry
When the Jays dumped Trevor Richards on the Twins at the 2024 deadline, the return was an infielder who’d signed a way under slot deal in the sixth round of the previous year’s draft out of the decided non-baseball hotbed of Penn State University by the name of Jay Harry. Baseball America ranked him 426th […]

Foster Griffin’s intriguing situation with trade deadline looming
When the Nationals signed Foster Griffin in December of 2025, he was labeled as a low-upside reclamation project.

His prestige as a 2014 […]

Blue Jays need to rethink trade deadline after Cease nearly pitches a no-no

Dylan Cease takes no-hit bid into 9th as Blue Jays crush Giants
Baseball has a funny way of sticking with you. Some plays, some moments, some games, some players, just latch onto certain segments of your brain and I’m not fit to diagnose why.
