Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
The Jays haven’t, obviously, been good this season. This week has felt like the bottom finally falling out, though. They’re now equidistant between the third wildcard and last place in the American League. Their run differential is tied with the last place Angels. It hasn’t been fun to watch, but after months of thinking they […]
The Toronto Blue Jays were blown out in the first of their three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, and their swoon to the bottom of the American League East Division continued. From first to worst. The Jays are obviously, at this point, a team that must consider a sell-off as we approach the trade deadline in less than two weeks. " As much as Toronto doesn't want to chase its (2025) pennant run with a (2026) deadline sale, good organizations recognize that sometimes it's not...
The Toronto Blue Jays‘ season has gone from bad to worse. The team dropped another lopsided decision on Monday to […]
So I thought I’d go through this little exercise just for my own sense of ‘what the hell is going on’. Over the last 22 games, four weeks (with the All Star break in there), the Jays are 7-15. They’ve averaged 3.5 runs a game. Quite the stretch run. The batters are hitting .214/.272/.337….which makes […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are looking like a team with no choice but to sell at the trade deadline.
Hell has frozen over, pigs have flown, and the Tampa Bay Rays held on to a lead and won a baseball game in the second half. The never-wavering All-Star Nick Martinez, also known as “El Capitan”, proved to be the streak stopper, going six innings and only allowing one run. I feel like Rogers Centre […]
Joe Ryan has become one of the most sought-after arms on the trade market, and the Minnesota Twins face a franchise-altering decision on the right-hander ahead of the August 3 deadline. ESPN's Jeff Passan gave Ryan a 55 percent chance of being traded, listing the Cubs, Padres, Athletics, Diamondbacks, Braves, White Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays, and Cardinals among his best fits. The 30-year-old is having an outstanding season, previously sitting at a 2.85 ERA, before Monday's brutal outing, wit...
Rays 7 Blue Jays 1 I really thought the Rays had more than seven runs. It was a terrible game in all ways: We did have 8 hits on the day. Clement, Lukes and Springer had 2 each. Varsho (bloop single) and Kirk had the other two. I guess we only hit into 2 double […]
I’m past hoping for wins. I’d just like it to look like the Jays are trying. I understand that you can try and have it not look like you are, but…..please put in an effort today. Maybe more than 5 hits….let’s go for 8 hits with at least one being for extra bases. And let’s […]
Another Monday, another new series starts. Four games against the Rays. The pitching matchups: Max Scherzer starts for the Bisons Wednesday, they are saying he’ll have another rehab start after that. If he could have a great start for the Jays after that and get traded off the next day, that would be the best […]
Where will Kevin Gausman get traded? These three teams make the most sense
Fourteen Years Ago Today The Blue Jays and the Astros made a ten-player trade: Happ played for us for 2.5 seasons. He was hurt quite a bit, including one injury when a line drive hit him in the head, and he ended up on the DL with a leg injury. In 2.5 seasons, he had […]
Sean Burke threw 6.2 scoreless innings, and Colson Montgomery hit his 24th homer as the White Sox beat Toronto 3-0 and took the AL Central lead. The post Sean Burke Shuts Down Blue Jays as White Sox Take AL Central Lead appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
It’s been a crazy sophomore season for Drake Baldwin so far. Up until he suffered an oblique injury in mid-May, he had a .401 wOBA (154 wRC+) and .418 xwOBA — pretty bonkers numbers. Like, we knew he was good from 2025, when he had a .350ish wOBA/xwOBA (125 wRC+), but to come out swinging […]
After surrendering four runs in his short-lived start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago White Sox pitcher Sean Burke needed a quick reset. And the former Terp did just that, allowing only six runs across his last six outings. But Burke saved his best performance for Sunday. The 6-foot-6 right-hander held a struggling Toronto Blue […]
The Toronto Blue Jays played in the World Series less than a year ago. Today, they are watching their postseason hopes fade away after another lackluster offensive display. The 3-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox this Sunday concluded another disappointing series defeat. With the Blue Jays now having just 7 wins from their last […] The post “Turn It Around in a Hurry” – Blue Jays Manager Sends Wake-Up Call to Toronto Clubhouse as Playoff Hopes Dwindle appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Toronto Blue Jays have stunningly all but played their way out of postseason contention.
The White Sox built momentum by winning their series against Toronto. Now they have a chance to validate that success with another strong showing against Texas.
In his postgame interview on Peacock today, Colson Montgomery was asked how the White Sox withstood a nine-K start from Toronto star Trey Yesavage to eventually break through and bounce him from the game: “Just be relentless.” As is the wont of a rare national interviewer, that chat quickly came around to asking about the […]
As the pregame notes teased, two White Sox pitching trends entered Sunday's rubber match north of the border: Sean Burke dominating over his last five starts (32 IP, 1.69 ERA, 42 K, 5 BB) Baffling home (3.18 ERA) and road (5.05 ERA) splits for Sox pitching The post White Sox 3, Blue Jays 0: Burke remains boffo after break appeared first on Sox Machine .
White Sox 3 Blue Jays 0 So, remember when we got that run yesterday. That was a good day. Today, we managed four singles and one walk. We had runners (well runner) in scoring position in one inning, going 0 for 2. Nathan Lukes had two his, one a bunt single (great job) in the […]
Longtime big league reliever Duane Ward passed away this weekend, as announced by the Blue Jays. Ward passed in Toronto, as the right-hander was among the many former Jays in town for the unveiling of the Joe Carter statue in commemoration of the 1992-93 World Series championship teams. Ward arrived in Toronto on Friday but […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are mourning the loss of one of the most important pitchers in franchise history. The organization announced that former MLB All-Star reliever Duane Ward has passed away at the age of 62. Ward was a beloved…
The White Sox have won one of their last nine road series (the Cleveland split counts as a draw) and are trying not to make it one of 10. Part of the reason for the home-road disparity is Sox pitching running a 5.05 ERA on the road, compared to a 3.18 ERA at home. The post First pitch: White Sox at Blue Jays appeared first on Sox Machine .
Who would’ve thunk last fall watching Trey Yeasavage mow through AL hitters that just a few long months later, we’d be saying things like “Yeah he’s good, but Sean Burke might wind up getting some Cy Young votes, has the advantage.” Obviously I’m being rather liberal with the royal “we” there, because I might really […]
