The Toronto Blue Jays may have clinched a playoff spot during an off-day on Thursday, but they didn’t hold back in celebrating that season-long accomplishment after Friday’s 9-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Before anyone started popping bottles of champagne, though, interim manager John Schneider delivered a message to his team, reminding them that…
Frankie Lasagna might be one of the better names in sports history. The 37-year-old, who owns a local restaurant in Toronto, attended Wednesday’s finale between the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees. With his seat located in the 100 level of left field, he hoped his chances of catching right-hander Aaron Judge’s 61st home…
The Whit Merrifield trade caught most baseball fans by surprise on Aug. 2, and rightly so. But now, late in the regular season, it’s beginning to prove beneficial for the Toronto Blue Jays. After spending his entire career with the Kansas City Royals, Merrifield had to quickly adjust to what it’s like to join a…
Now might be a good time to hop on the Yosver Zulueta hype train. The 24-year-old hurler made his triple-A debut with the Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday and didn’t look phased against the Rochester Red Wings – Washington’s triple-A affiliate. The Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect fared extremely well in his first action at the…
More often than not, the Toronto Blue Jays’ offence has been led by the top half of their batting order this season, as it should be.

It’s time to talk about Mitch White once again. After being optioned to triple-A Buffalo earlier this month, the 27-year-old was needed to provide some length for the Toronto Blue Jays during their doubleheader versus the Tampa Bay Rays on Sep. 13. He knew his name would be called at some point throughout the day,…
And just like that, another former Toronto Blue Jay is off to the Pittsburgh Pirates. On Wednesday, the Pirates claimed catcher Zack Collins off waivers from the Blue Jays, who designated the 27-year-old for assignment on Monday. It’s the second time this season they’ve lost a backstop to the ‘Steel City,’ after losing Tyler Heineman…
The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be on the verge of another hot offensive stretch, but to sustain it, they’ll need more contributions from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. the rest of the way.
The Toronto Blue Jays are a much deeper team when Bo Bichette is at his best. Everyone was reminded of that Saturday night at PNC Park. After shutting out the Pirates 4-0 a night ago, the Blue Jays desperately needed to replicate that success during the second game of this three-game set. The only problem,…
Nate Pearson is finally returning to game action this Sunday. The 26-year-old threw a successful batting practice session in Florida on Wednesday and is now headed out on a rehab assignment, according to TSN’s Scott Mitchell. Toronto’s talented right-hander is scheduled to make his debut with low-A Dunedin on Sunday. Barring any setbacks, Pearson could…
Three players from the Los Angeles Angels won’t be making the trip to Toronto ahead of a three-game set. Prior to Friday’s opener, the team placed relievers Aaron Loup, Ryan Tepera and outfielder Taylor Ward on MLB’s restricted list due to their vaccination statuses. Aaron Loup, Ryan Tepera and Taylor Ward are the #Angels on…
