I think, at this point, it’s fair to assume the Jays aren’t going for it at all in 2019. I mean, nobody really expected them to, but there was a small amount of talk that it could be worthwhile to take a stab at the second wild card given how weak the American League is…
Finally, something interesting! With the Winter Meetings coming to a close, everybody’s favourite time of year is finally here — The Rule 5 Draft. Teams can draft players from other organizations who aren’t on the 40-man roster and then they have to keep them on their 25-man rosters all year. As you’ll remember, the Jays…
He’s no longer Jays Ace Happ. Free agent started J.A. Happ is closing in on a deal to remain a New York Yankee.
So here’s how it ends. It doesn’t feel like very long ago that Ken Rosenthal dropped “BREAKING: Tulo traded to #BlueJays” and the internet exploded. But after spending a year-and-a-half on the disabled list and his role on the team moving forward becoming smaller and smaller, the Blue jays decided to cut ties and let…
The Major League Baseball Winter Meetings kicked off over the weekend so now things are finally going to start moving. With two huge names in Manny Machado and Bryce Harper on the open market the dominos probably aren’t going to start falling until those two decide where they’re going to sign.
It looks like Cleveland is going into some kind of re-tool operation as their core hasn’t been able to get over the hump since reaching the World Series in 2016. Cleveland is shopping two of their top pitchers, Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer, and they’re also reportedly listening to offers on former Blue Jay Edwin…

Then it was said he might be ready for Opening Day? Then it became possible he’d be back by the end of April? Then it got pushed back again to the All-Star break? Then there…
After an 89-73 effort that wasn’t quite good enough to end their 17-season playoff drought, the Seattle Mariners are giving up. The Mariners decided that given the wide-open window of the juggernaut Houston Astros, they’re better off selling on a few of their top assets to build for the future rather than existing in purgatory.
The non-waiver deadline came and went on Friday and the only player the Jays decided to let go of was Yangervis Solarte who had a miserable finish to the season after a very hot start. Guys like Kevin Pillar, Joe Biagini, and Devon Travis who many assumed could be let go ended up sticking as…
The Blue Jays announced their 2019 promotional schedule on Thursday. It features some new stuff like Zombie Day in September and LOONIE HOT DOGS and some old stuff like jersey and bobblehead giveaways.
You might have thought that the Oliver Drake era was over in Toronto, but you were wrong. The Blue Jays claimed the righty off of waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays. In a corresponding move, Mark Leiter Jr. has been designated for assignment.
Alex Anthopolous has acquired Josh Donaldson again. Trading for the future Most Valuable Player was the most important thing he did during his tenure as Blue Jays general manager and he’s diving into the well again.
