Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
On Thursday afternoon, the Rays were hoping to wrap up their four-game series against the Blue Jays with a sweep. To get the job done, they had Casey Legumina working the opener role, up against Shane Bieber for the Blue Jays. The Rays went 1-2-3 to start the first inning. In the home half, Ernie […]
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle questions on a potential (likely?) deadline sell-off for the Jays, the extent to which starting pitchers can hurt their stock with poor outings leading into the deadline, some possible White Sox targets, the Giants’ veteran trade candidates, the Pirates’ closing need, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas and more! Let’s get […]
A year after reaching the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays are staring at a deadline sell-off, and Daulton Varsho is the name generating the most interest. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Foul Territory, the Blue Jays will have to move Varsho, and the veteran outfielder is expected to have plenty of suitors. "I think Varsho will have a lot of suitors," Nightengale said. "So, I think these next 10 days are as big to them as any organization in baseball." Varsho is hitting .237 with...
1:46pm: The Jays have now made it official. They announced they have claimed Martin and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo, with Barger moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. 12:30pm: The Blue Jays have claimed outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. off waivers from the Orioles, reports Ari Alexander of 7News Boston. Baltimore designated him […]
Go Rays!
Expect some surprising trades from the Blue Jays
We haven’t hit the daily roster moves frequency that Alex Anthopoulos gave us, but we are making moves lately. Corbin pitched Tuesday and it didn’t go well, 2.1 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned, 3 strikeouts. His ERA has jumped to 5.51. It was 3.65 at the end of May. Had to figure something was going […]
As the Blue Jays continue to trend toward selling, there’ll be an increased focus on some of their short-term veterans — rentals in particular. Right-hander Kevin Gausman stands as one of the most prominent names who could be shipped out if Toronto does sell, recent struggles notwithstanding. Gausman’s five-year $110MM contract, which expires at season’s […]
The Blue Jays might not be able to trade Gausman to these 8 teams
On the element of surprise, taken to its logical conclusion. The post Box Score Banter: Coming Out Swinging appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
One year after coming up a few inches short of a championship, the Blue Jays find themselves at the bottom of the AL East. They’re a season-worst nine games under .500 after dropping six of their first eight coming out of the All-Star Break. Only the Angels, A’s and Royals are below them in the […]
Rays 4 Blue Jays 2 Well, we scored two runs. For a moment, it looked like we could have big first inning. With one out (an Ernie Clement strikeout), Nathan Lukes walked and Vladimir Guerrero doubled high off the wall in right center. A few feet left and it would have been a home run […]
The Rays might cruise to an American League East title if they were to play all of their remaining games north of the border. Wednesday’s 4-2 victory was the team’s third straight in Toronto, and the team is now 5-1 on the season at Rogers Centre. Griffin Jax took the bump for the Rays, looking […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Dodgers: Let’s talk about it.
Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]
Darshan Desai at Uncrowned reports that former IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia has filed suit against the sanctioning body, alleging a conspiracy on the part of the WBA, WBC, WBO, former promoter Eddie Hearn, and others to punish him for signing with Zuffa Boxing. The IBF stripped Opetaia (30-0, 23 KO) of the belt ahead […]
Today marks Dave Stieb’s 69th birthday. We saw Stieb on the weekend. He looks like he could still play. Stieb holds the franchise records for wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, games started, complete games, and many other pitching categories. His 103 complete games in 408 starts for the Blue Jays is a mark unlikely to be […]

The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
The MLB trade market is moving.
From first to worst, the Toronto Blue Jays complete 180 is shocking to say the least
The dominant Canadian entity continues to make large-scale moves.
With 11 Major League Baseball teams hovering within three games of .500 while even the mighty Dodgers have cobbled together a losing record thus far in July, the 2026 World Series may well hinge on which clubs are able to make the perfect trade deadline pickups.
The dominant Canadian entity continues to make large-scale moves.
Apparently the Rays needed to leave the country to get back on track. Their offense perked up in their 7-1 win on Monday night, but it caught on fire – in a good, and not a dumpster way— tonight. Every player other than Taylor Walls had a hit, and even Walls still managed to score […]
