SAN FRANCISCO -- Twenty-four years ago, the Blue Jays drafted a catcher named John Schneider in the 13th round. You won’t find him on any of the old top prospect lists. Where you will find him is in the dugout at the All-Star Game, managing the American League. The real

SAN FRANCISCO -- The great Max Scherzer has spent more time rehabbing than pitching in the big leagues this season for the Blue Jays, but once more, the future Hall of Famer is climbing his way back. Wednesday night with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, Scherzer made his second rehab start

SAN FRANCISCO -- Wednesday afternoon at Oracle Park teased us with history as Dylan Cease took a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Giants, falling just short of joining Dave Stieb, who remains the only Blue Jays pitcher in history to pull it off. By the time your heart

SAN FRANCISCO -- Dave Stieb still stands alone, right where he’s been for 36 years. Another heartbreak now lives on his doorstep, another no-hitter that fell just short of giving Stieb the company that’s long been overdue. This time, it’s Dylan Cease left with the memory of what could have

SAN FRANCISCO -- Braydon Fisher lost his father, Normand, on Monday in San Francisco, a man he says “never had a bad day.” Norm Fisher grew up in nearby Vanden, California, and was visiting some old friends from Vanden High School Monday prior to the Blue Jays’ series against the

SAN FRANCISCO -- The 2026 MLB Draft brings another opportunity for the Blue Jays to add young talent to a farm system that’s back on the rise, but you’ll have to wait a while to hear their first pick. The Blue Jays won’t pick until No. 39, as their first-round

SAN FRANCISCO -- If the Blue Jays are going to turn this season around, it cannot be done gently. There must be big swings, broken glass and a little chaos -- anything to shake themselves from this slumber.

SAN FRANCISCO -- It’s been a while since a Blue Jays game looked like that.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Two months from now, we’ll turn back to talk about this series in San Francisco. It’s up to the Blue Jays to decide whether this was the turning point or the cliff. So many of the Blue Jays’ 49 losses this season have been frustrating, but none

SAN FRANCISCO -- Searching for a turning point in their season, the Blue Jays keep turning the wrong way. Monday’s 10-1 loss to the Giants put all of this season’s flaws on display, from a dormant offense to a defensive game that just doesn’t feel as clean as the 2025

TORONTO -- With a packed house and massive audience watching from home on the Canada Day holiday, the Blue Jays finally treated everyone to a stress-free day of baseball. There haven’t been many of these, but if the Blue Jays are going to dig themselves out of this 41-46 record

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays ran into a buzzsaw Tuesday night at Rogers Centre. His name is Nolan McLean. The Mets’ rookie dominated the Blue Jays’ lineup, or at least what was left of it. The 3-0 loss rolled by all too calmly without much of a threat from the

TORONTO -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was a late scratch from Tuesday night’s 3-0 loss against the Mets with back tightness, the club announced an hour and a half prior to first pitch. Guerrero was originally listed in the starting lineup, playing first base and batting third, but rookie Sean Keys

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays are rolling with a bullpen day as their No. 5 starter, and this time, it’s by choice. Patrick Corbin has been moved to the bullpen beginning Tuesday night against the Mets, and while this isn’t ‘Plan A’ for the Blue Jays by any means, they

TORONTO – In another life, just inches away from this one, Monday night could have been the final ring ceremony. Bo Bichette, back in town for the first time with his Mets, could have stood and waved through an ovation so long that it delayed the first pitch. Vladimir Guerrero

TORONTO -- Addison Barger’s rehab has been set back by a new injury, as a recent MRI revealed a stress reaction in his back, which will shut Barger down for multiple weeks. Barger had been rehabbing from right elbow inflammation recently and was nearing a rehab assignment, but he travelled

TORONTO -- Ernie Clement is your starting second baseman for the American League in the 2026 All-Star Game, another remarkable moment in his unlikely rise to stardom.
