The Toronto Blue Jays started the week by winning their first series victory over the Baltimore Orioles since all the way back in 2022 but finished with a series loss to the lowly Oakland Athletics over the weekend.

We talked about the notable things from last week’s slate of games, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seeing his hitting streak snapped at 22 games and Luis De Los Santos picking up his first big-league hit and RBI.

After that, we looked at some interesting quotes from President and CEO Mark Shapiro’s media availability, including what went wrong in 2024, a vague vote of confidence about Ross Atkins staying as general manager, and what we can expect as the team tries to retool to be competitive in 2025. We also talked about the latest Vladdy contract speculation from Jeff Passan, who used Rafael Devers and his 10-year, $313.5 million contract as a comparable.
