Ranger Suarez Returns For Red Sox Series Finale Versus Blue Jays

Happy Sunday, folks. For the first time in quite some time, a Red Sox series comes down to the final game after they split the first two with the Toronto Blue Jays. Ranger Suarez returns from a brief stint on the injured list and will take on Kevin Gausman. Toronto ranks 29th in wRC+ against […]

Happy Birthday Brandon Morrow

Today marks Brandon Morrow’s 42nd birthday. The Blue Jays acquired Brandon Morrow in December 2009, just before Christmas, in a trade that sent Brandon League and Johermyn Chavez to Seattle. I wonder how many Brandon-for-Brandon trades have occurred in MLB history. Hugo wrote about the trade at the time and correctly highlighted the upside. He […]

Blue Jays' George Springer Heads to Red Sox In Proposed Deal

George Springer is not having a great send-off season in the final year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 36-year-old has had a dreadful season, batting just .229 with a .708 OPS and just 11 homers. Not quite the way he wants to go into free agency.  Nevertheless, teams will remember his heroic playoff performances in his career (including his clutch HR  in last year's epic Game 7 of the ALCS ).  And he reminded Jays fans and rival teams (and the Boston Red Sox, in...

Dylan Cease spins one-hitter as Blue Jays blank Red Sox 6-0

Dylan Cease dominated from the first pitch to the last, tossing a one-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts as the Blue Jays rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Toronto gave its ace all the run support he would need with a five-run third inning against Sonny Gray, handing Boston its most lopsided loss in nearly a month.

Dylan Cease Throws A One Hitter, Jays Win!

Blue Jays 6 Red Sox 0 Dylan Cease went nine complete, giving up just one hit (with three walks and twelve strikeouts). He was just amazing, even with Dan telling us he wasn’t throwing as hard as usual. And the offense did the job. We got: We had 15 hits, 14 more than the Red […]

Happy Birthday Ed Spraque

Today marks the 59th birthday of Ed Sprague, former third baseman for the Toronto Blue Jays. Sprague spent eight seasons with the Blue Jays, from 1991 until his trade to the Oakland Athletics on July 31, 1998. In return, the Jays acquired Scott Rivette, who ultimately never reached the major leagues. During his time in […]

Jays Lose To Red Sox

Blue Jays 4 Red Sox 6 So it was a better effort than we’ve seen of late. Kuzuma Okamoto hit a three-run home run in the seventh (which got us back into the game). Andrés Giménez hit a sac fly in the eighth (which tied the game). That was homer 23 for Okamoto, setting a […]

Red Sox Survive Bullpen Disaster to Beat Blue Jays 6-4

This could’ve been a barnstormer. Both starters were giving runs away early and often, both lineups had chances to blow this thing open, and instead a game that felt like it wanted to be 10-8 or more ended 6-4. The Red Sox left runners on base all night (11 to be exact), watched the bullpen […]

MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed Deal Sends Kevin Gausman to Chicago Cubs

Kevin Gausman's days as a Toronto Blue Jay might be coming to a close. He doesn't want to admit it, but heading into free agency after the season, it only makes sense for the Jays, who are sellers at this trade deadline, to get some prospect capital back for one of the game's top pitchers of this decade. There are a number of teams who could use a starter of his caliber down the stretch, particularly one with the type of playoff experience he has. One of those teams, the Chicago Cubs, has been...

Game Thread: Astros (50-54) at White Sox (54-47)

Coming out of the All-Star break neck-and-neck with the Cleveland Guardians, the Chicago White Sox knew they had to hit the ground running. With two road series on deck against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, winning each respective series was all that mattered and the White Sox did exactly that. Thanks to […]

Blue Jays @ Red Sox Game Thread

An Apple TV game, because MLB will never turn down a dollar. It would be nice to win a game or two this series. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS RED SOX Ernie Clement – SS Anthony Seigler – 2B Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Ceddanne Rafaela – CF Kazuma Okamoto – 3B Wilyer Abreu – RF George […]

Contest Time: Guess Which Jays Will Be Gone By The Deadline

So now that we are firmly in the sell camp, let’s have a contest to guess which players will be traded away. The problem the Jays have is that they don’t have that guy who will net them top prospects. They don’t have Tarik Skubal, who will be the one that everyone will be bidding […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Jays claw one away from Rays

Thursday was a rare quiet day across the American League, with just three games going on and only two of them on our radar. The Yankees were one of many that had the day off as they travelled to Philadelphia, so they had nothing to do but see if the Blue Jays could do them […]

Mets set to host first-place Dodgers for three in Queens

Shortly after Steve Cohen bought the franchise, he shared his desire to turn the Mets (43-60) into an east coast version of the Dodgers (65-38). Simply put, that hasn’t happened yet, as the Mets have spent quite a bit of money on their major league payroll but haven’t been consistent when it comes to making […]

MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed 3-Player Deal Sees Phillies Reacquire Jeff Hoffman From Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays salvaged the final game in their series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, but they were thoroughly outclassed in the first two, and really established themselves as an also-ran this season. They are certain to be sellers at the deadline, and have a few notable trade candidates. In this proposed deal, hypothesized by  Mitch Bannon in The Athletic , the Jays would send out two players to the Philadelphia Phillies to fill big voids on the Phils' roster. Philadelph...

Rays Lose a Snoozer: Rays 1, Jays 3

It is tough to sweep a four-game series, unless you are the impossibly hot Boston Red Sox. Perhaps Shane Bieber took it upon himself to make Kyle Snyder, Kevin Cash, and the front office beliebers and effort to acquire him before the August 3rd deadline. Bieber had his second consecutive fantastic outing since the break […]

Jays Win!

Rays 1 Blue Jays 3 WE SCORED THREE RUNS! It isn’t like we had a lot of hits, just seven (with three walks). But it was enough We scored a run in each of the first, third and seventh innings: Vlad and George (with a walk) had two hits each. Yohendrick, Clement, and Kirk had […]
