The Toronto Blue Jays still can’t escape their frustrating three-game series against the Chicago White Sox from earlier this week. In the second game of that series, both clubs encountered an egregious strike zone from home plate umpire Doug Eddings, who struggled mightily on Tuesday. More often than not, most of those missed calls were…
Nearing the midway point of the season, it’s almost time to start thinking about the upcoming trade deadline, which falls on Aug. 2 this year. For the Toronto Blue Jays, who’ll surely be looking to upgrade their roster, there are a few different options they could use as trade chips. Of course, the most obvious…
The Toronto Blue Jays have added a fresh arm ahead of their three-game series versus the New York Yankees, which begins Friday at the Rogers Centre. Prior to first pitch, the team has recalled right-hander Casey Lawrence from triple-A Buffalo, making him active for the series opener. To make room, reliever Jeremy Beasley has been…
For almost all 30 MLB franchises, every season usually consists of pleasant surprises and for the Toronto Blue Jays, pitcher Ross Stripling has been exactly that in 2022.

The Toronto Blue Jays have announced a roster move, and no, it doesn’t involve top prospect Gabriel Moreno. At least, for now. Instead, the team has placed reliever Andrew Vasquez on the 15-day injured list with a right ankle sprain.

When the 2022 All-Star Game rolls around next month, the Toronto Blue Jays are expected to be well represented for a second straight season and one of those spots could potentially be awarded to catcher Alejandro Kirk.
The clock is seemingly ticking on reliever Ryan Borucki’s tenure with the Toronto Blue Jays. For any player without a minor-league option, as is the case with Borucki, front offices will usually exhaust every last resource before having to designate them for assignment. And that time could be coming very soon for the Blue Jays…
This season, offence is alarming down across Major League Baseball and unfortunately, third baseman Matt Chapman has been affected like so many others. But as the warmer months arrive, there’s hope he’ll enjoy improved success down the road.

As an offence, the Toronto Blue Jays haven’t lived up to their expectations as one of the top slugging line-ups in the sport through the first 30 games of the 2022 season. While there’s still plenty of time to alter that narrative, it stands to wonder if the offence needs to make some adjustments. Granted,…
Through the first month of the 2022 season, starter Kevin Gausman has been worth every cent for the Toronto Blue Jays thus far. And he’s only getting better. Over the off-season, Gausman left the west coast to sign a five-year, $110-million contract with the Blue Jays. At the time, most fans were upset the team…
On a team loaded with all-star talent, sometimes it can be difficult to stand out amongst the crowd. Though, that hasn’t been the case for infielder Santiago Espinal in 2022. So far this month, Espinal has proven you don’t have to be a superstar to play a key role on the Toronto Blue Jays. As…
It might be time for the Toronto Blue Jays to start worrying about starter Hyun Jin Ryu, who’s endured a miserable start to the 2022 season.
