Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Yesterday, I went over the details of the draft and the Jays’ potential strategy. Today, a quick review of the farm, the shape of the draft class, and some names. The Farm Baseball America refreshed their farm system rankings the day before yesterday, in anticipation of the draft. They currently have the Jays 18th. Fangraphs […]
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. I’ve consumed thousands and thousands of San Francisco Giants games in my life. Some through paper box scores, and others through digital ones; […]
Dylan Cease's pitch count was rather high heading into the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants.
Blue Jays 10 Giants 0 What an amazing start by Dylan Cease. I wasn’t all for sending him back out for the eighth inning at 104 pitches. But Clease isn’t going to make a start in several days, with the All-Star break ahead (well, he might start the All-Star game). But in the eighth Daulton […]
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Braydon Fisher returned from bereavement leave on July 8, two days after he left the team. Speaking to reporters in San Francisco, where the Blue Jays are playing the Giants, he revealed that his father, Normand,…
The San Francisco Giants made a roster move on Wednesday, ahead of their series finale matinee against the Toronto Blue Jays. Shortly before first pitch, the team announced that center fielder Jonah Cox had been placed on the 10-Day Injured List, retroactive to July 6, with a left oblique strain. Taking his place on the […]
Well, let’s see if the magic of the toy dragon will work two days in a row. Please Jays score some runs. Feeling bad for Braydon Fisher and family losing his father. 65 is too young to die. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS GIANTS Ernie Clement – 2B Heliot Ramos – LF Nathan Lukes – RF […]
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this series against the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon at Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 3.66 ERA, 3.32 FIP, with 78 strikeouts to 24 walks in 93.1 innings pitched. His last start was in the […]
George Springer is back playing today and batting fourth, which is a choice. I don’t know, it likely better than him leading off. I know that we worry too much about batting order, because that’s one of the things we can easily see, judge. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS GIANTS Ernie Clement – 2B Heliot […]
The 2026 MLB draft kicks off this Saturday, at 1:00pm ET. Because of MLB’s ironclad commitment to preventing this from becoming an event, it will occur while several teams are playing actual MLB games, although the Jays specifically will be in San Diego and don’t go until 8:40pm. The first 10 picks, which will inexplicably […]
Jays 9 Giants 3 Before the game, I asked the Jays to score and not just one run. And they did….I should have asked earlier. The Jays scored: We did go five inning there without getting a baserunner. But let’s focus on the nine runs instead. We had 13 hits. Clement (leading off) had three […]
This has not been the season that Freddy Peralta or the New York Mets hoped it would be. The Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball with no chance of a play off run. Peralta is having a rough season in his contract year. A 4.68 ERA isn't what he had in mind to take to the free agent market. Nevertheless, there are reports that his trade market at the deadline could still be decent, per T he Athletic's Will Sammon . Peralta, 30, set for free agency at the end of the season, sta...
I’m hoping I’ll be back in time to put up a real game thread, but in case I get delayed, use this as a thread.
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays tonight from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Trevor McDonald, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.42 ERA, 3.74 FIP, with 50 strikeouts to 19 walks in 57 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
The Royals have signed right-hander Justin Topa to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He has been assigned to Triple-A Omaha. The Blue Jays released him from a minor league deal a couple of days ago. Topa, 35, has some major league success but is not having a good year. […]
Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about two significant MLB debuts on NBC’s “Star-Spangled Sunday” (by Eddy Yean and Eliezer Alfonzo), the fallout from the Marlins pulling Eury Pérez mid-perfecto, a rare fog delay, the All-Star Game rosters (featuring a very normal number of Blue Jays, and also Rob Manfred’s good buddy Bryce Harper), whether […]
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider sounds like someone who has lost the clubhouse amid a frustrating losing season.

I’m going to be away from the computer all day, hopefully back for game time tonight. I say hopefully, but the way they are playing I’m not sure that’s the right word. So let’s have an open thread to pass the day away. Normal rules, can talk on anything Jays related or not Jays related. […]
It hasn’t been the season the Toronto Blue Jays envisioned. Just one year removed from winning the American League pennant and reaching the World Series, they sit six games below .500 coming out of Fourth of July weekend. Still, all hope is not lost. In a wide-open American League, no team is truly out of […] The post 5 Left-Handed Starters That’d Be Perfect Fits on the Blue Jays appeared first on Just Baseball .
Another day, another pitching addition for the Cubs. As first reported by Marquee’s Lance Brozdowski, the Cubs have signed lefty Josh Fleming to a minor league deal after he was released by the Blue Jays over the weekend. The 30-year-old was drafted by the Rays in the fourth round back in 2017 and made his … The post Cubs Sign LHP Josh Fleming to Minors Deal appeared first on .
For just the second time in the last week and a half, Yankees fans got to wake up in the morning knowing that their team hadn’t embarrassed them in some grotesque manner the night before. Cam Schlittler was an ace! Ben Rice was an All-Star as well! And of course there was a surprise contributor […]
Jays 1 Giants 10 I don’t know…. At least in the past we were able to make the easy defensive plays. But tonight, we couldn’t even do that. Andrés Giménez made an error. Kazuma Okamoto made an official, had another that should have been an error and made a lousy play on a throw into […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Toronto Blue Jays to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Blue Jays will be right-handed former-and-Forever-Giant Kevin Gausman, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.19 ERA, 3.80 FIP, with 100 strikeouts to 24 walks in 101 innings pitched. His last start was […]
It just feels right for Cristopher Sánchez to start in the MLB All-Star Game in front of local Philadelphia fans — but he'll need some weather-related luck.
