Last week, MLB Pipeline revealed its selections for Minor League Hitting Prospect of the Year and Minor League Pitching Prospect of the Year during the 2026 MiLB Awards Show on MLB Network. Brewers corner infielder Andrew Fischer won hitting honors after swatting 48 homers, the most in the Minors since

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – In the span of time it takes to fold a bag of all-dressed chips and pop on a clip, Jake Cook ran the 30-yard dash at the MLB Draft Combine in June 2025. Zooming to an event-best time of 3.51 seconds, it was a lightning quick snapshot

MESA, Ariz. -- Jake Casey had Tommy John surgery while at Kent State in 2024. He broke a hamate in his first game of the 2026 season after the Blue Jays took the Kent State product in the 15th round of the 2025 Draft. So getting off to a slow

TORONTO -- Until the Blue Jays can tear up the floors and begin to renovate this roster via free agency and trades, they’re stuck watching postseason baseball like the rest of us. These coming weeks will be spent obsessing over how they can squeeze every bit of extra potential out

The 34th annual Arizona Fall League season is underway, and you can watch top prospects from all 30 MLB organizations throughout October and November as AFL matchups are once again streaming for free on both MLB.com (here and on the AFL site) and MLB.TV. All but five games of the

This page will be updated throughout the offseason to reflect the team’s latest transactions and any injury updates. As a reminder, players can remain on the 60-day IL through the World Series, after which teams must account for those players on their 40-man roster.

You could see it in their smiles. From great individual performances to winning games with brand new teammates, players understood the assignment at the Blue Jays Academy Canadian Futures Showcase: not everyone gets this opportunity, so go out and have fun. Over the course of four days, 150 of the

The Minor League playoffs have been completed. There are only a handful of players with prospect eligibility remaining left in the Major League postseason, and there will be fewer with each passing round. Time for us in prospectdom to go into offseason mode? Not so fast, friends. The Arizona Fall

TORONTO -- This offseason will be long and complicated, but the Blue Jays’ problems are short and simple. They need to score more runs. That’s it. Every conversation we have about the Blue Jays this winter will come back to their offense, which ranked last in homers (152) and runs

Action in the Arizona Fall League kicked off over the weekend with a full slate of games, with big names already turning heads. While a lot of attention is understandably given to the high-profile prospects -- the late additions of Sebastian Walcott, Aidan Miller and Angeibel Gomez created some fun

TORONTO -- Only one man can tell Max Scherzer when it’s over, and his name is Max Scherzer. Every bit of Scherzer’s brilliance was on display on Sunday afternoon in what may have been his last start in the big leagues. After what we just saw, though, how could it

TORONTO -- George Springer once represented the beginning of something big and new. Now here he stands at the end. It felt like the reality of this -- perhaps even the finality -- hit Springer in front of his locker before Sunday's season-ending 5-1 win. He grabbed a fistful of

TORONTO -- Soon enough, we’ll be longing for an afternoon baseball game, but Saturday afternoon’s won’t be the one we romanticize. The Blue Jays lost to the Reds, 5-1, on a quiet afternoon at Rogers Centre, teeing up the season finale on Sunday with Max Scherzer taking the mound in

TORONTO -- The sun is setting on two of this era’s greatest pitchers. Justin Verlander threw the final pitch of his remarkable career on Saturday afternoon in Detroit, and while Max Scherzer isn’t ready to make a decision just yet, he’ll take the mound Sunday in Toronto knowing it could

TORONTO -- Max Scherzer still rocks back and forth and bounces when he talks about baseball. The topic alone electrifies him. Scherzer said Saturday at Rogers Centre that he’s not going to make any decisions yet on his future, but it’s so clear that this game gives him something irreplaceable.

TORONTO -- After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. kicked off the day with a public apology for his recent comments about his $500 million contract, it felt like everything else would live in that shadow. The Blue Jays pulled off a comeback win, though, 6-5 over the Reds, rewarding their fans who

TORONTO -- It was the biggest crowd of media and cameras Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has faced all season, crowded around the face of the Blue Jays on Friday afternoon as he tried to right the week’s wrongs. Guerrero wanted to apologize for comments he made earlier in the week in

Talk about getting the barrel on it. Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. technically squared up his RBI single in the seventh inning of Friday's 6-5 win over the Reds at Rogers Centre, but he did it in quite an unusual way. On an 0-2 sinker from Cincinnati reliever

The AL and NL Wild Card Series presented by AbbVie begins Tuesday, Sept. 29 with many of MLB’s most popular players preparing to take center stage. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs are leading the

BALTIMORE -- That’s baseball. You’ve heard manager John Schneider say it a hundred times this season, or at least one of its variations. Baseball happened. Baseball is going to baseball. It’s his own version of “c’est la vie.”

BALTIMORE -- It takes a lot for the Blue Jays’ 2026 elimination to dip below being the story of the day, but that’s exactly what happened Wednesday in Baltimore, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. addressed some controversial quotes from a recent Spanish-language interview. In a conversation recently with Veronica Batista, Guerrero

BALTIMORE -- That’s it, that’s all. The Blue Jays have been eliminated from postseason contention. You’ve already known that for a few days now, but after Wednesday afternoon’s 4-2 loss to the Orioles in Game 1 of their doubleheader at Camden Yards, the math agrees with it, too. Later in
