DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has found his new sidekick. Everywhere he went Friday, Kazuma Okamoto was by his side. Guerrero can be so many people, all at once. He’s George Springer’s mischievous younger brother, the ringleader of a circus and the face of the franchise, depending on the

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Daulton Varsho wants to get back to baseball, like everyone else in this clubhouse, so let’s get the uncomfortable one out of the way before Spring Training games begin. Varsho is a free agent after 2026. Acquired three seasons ago in a massive deal for top catching

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The early days of camp brought the bad news that Shane Bieber would be “delayed” ramping up for the new season, but that process is beginning to move. Bieber had been playing catch at 90 feet when camp opened, which you can call “step one” of any

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- For months, all the Blue Jays had to work with were videos of Kazuma Okamoto. Now, after a week of seeing him take batting practice and ground balls, they’ll finally get their first look at him in game action. Okamoto is expected to be in the lineup

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: The American League East is loaded this year. The Blue Jays had a huge offseason after falling just short in Game 7 of the World Series. The Yankees are running it back, for better or worse, with a team that won 94

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Blue Jays injury news and transactions.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays claimed infielder Ben Cowles off waivers from the Cubs on Wednesday afternoon. The move isn’t going to knock Canada’s overtime win over Czechia at the Olympics off the front page of tomorrow’s newspapers, but anything tied to the Blue Jays’ infield this spring matters.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Anthony Santander is back at the bottom of the mountain again, staring up. His left arm immobilized in a sling to keep his shoulder still, he’s just hoping to play baseball this season, but that feels far away right now. That left shoulder injury was the anchor

Spring Training games are slated to start Friday, meaning MLB’s biggest stars will be back in action. But with so many great talents in the game today, who will be every team’s top player in 2026? To determine that, it’s time to examine the projections from FanGraphs Depth Charts (a

Back around this time two years ago, we made bold predictions about who would be the No. 1 prospect for each organization today. Now it’s time to review our prognosticating skills. A couple of disclaimers: A baker’s dozen of our current No. 1 prospects had yet to enter pro ball,

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- George Springer represents everything that went right a year ago. The team that exceeded every expectation was led by an aging outfielder who exceeded all of his. Springer was the heart and soul of the 2025 Blue Jays, but even that doesn’t quite capture it. Without Springer,

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- This doesn’t start until Vladimir Guerrero Jr. says it does. Guerrero is the sun. He is the biggest and the brightest, the force everything and everyone else orbits around. There’s no doubt of that now, but a year ago, there was.

Farm systems are huge. In addition to Rookie-level leagues at complexes in the Dominican Republic and the grounds where big league Spring Training camps are held, there are four under-the-lights, ticket-selling affiliates for every single Major League Baseball organization, amounting to 120 Minor League Baseball teams. Many of these teams

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Ricky Tiedemann still looks like a pitcher built in a lab. It’s like someone taught Captain America how to throw a slider. Standing in the parking lot of the Blue Jays’ player development complex this week, with a scar on his left elbow now, Tiedemann is two

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The unknown is the fun part of this. That’s where the upside lives. Cody Ponce is one of the Blue Jays’ biggest variables, and spring is the time to dream on what it could look like if everything goes right.

Full-squad workouts in Spring Training have begun, and there will be several players looking to prove themselves after injuries, underperformance or other factors put them in a more precarious position than they'd like to be entering the 2026 season.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Saturday morning, it felt like a celebrity was roaming the Blue Jays’ complex. You could tell where Kazuma Okamoto was, even if you didn’t see him. Everywhere Okamoto went, there was motion. Ten Japanese reporters and camera operators followed his every move, first trying to get a

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays’ outfield puzzle has the same number of pieces, but the shapes fit together a little differently now. This organization needs to squeeze as much production as it possibly can out of a crowded outfield group, and while the addition of Jesús Sánchez from the

Pitchers and catchers have already reported to Spring Training, and position players aren’t far behind: Eight teams will have their first full-squad workouts on Sunday, with the rest to follow over the next few days. Spring Training slash lines don’t exactly matter, but that doesn’t mean the next few weeks

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays shook up their outfield Friday morning, trading Joey Loperfido back to the Astros for Jesús Sánchez. You can call it a stylistic choice, given that Sánchez will be dropped right into the same, crowded outfield that Loperfido was trying to find a home in,

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- After an uncomfortable ending to his 2025 season, José Berríos opened the new year with an apology. Late in the Blue Jays’ 2025 World Series run, Berríos left the team and returned home to Puerto Rico. He was on the IL and wouldn’t have factored into the
