TORONTO -- The Trade Deadline overshadows everything these days. The Blue Jays are doing everything they can to stay afloat in the AL Wild Card race, but the realities of Monday’s 6 p.m. ET Deadline don’t leave much room. Saturday’s 5-1 win over the Cardinals was another good day, but

TORONTO -- In November 2021, Kevin Gausman and his wife, Taylor, were on vacation at a wellness resort, but he kept breaking the rules. Guests were not supposed to have their cell phones on them throughout the day, but Gausman was one of the hottest free agents in baseball. He

TORONTO -- John Schneider does not have the luxury of daydreaming about the Trade Deadline. That’s for all of us to do. Sure, the Blue Jays’ manager is part of these big-picture talks with general manager Ross Atkins and the front office, but once he walks out of that office,

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays look like a good, old-fashioned seller ahead of Monday’s Trade Deadline, but perhaps it’s better to frame them as being “open for business." The coming days line up for the Blue Jays to be short-term sellers, but also long-term buyers, getting a jump start on

TORONTO -- These days, Blue Jays fans are left looking to the future, whether they want to or not. There’s a lot to like, though, in a farm system that’s grown stronger at the top and done a much better job of developing pitchers in recent years. Cole Carlon, the

BOSTON -- We’ve reached that uncomfortable spot on the calendar when the Trade Deadline casts a shadow on every game. The Blue Jays lost to the Red Sox on Sunday, 6-1, to drop two of three at Fenway Park, but the story of the day is how each of these

BOSTON -- This has been a long time coming for Ricky Tiedemann, the Blue Jays’ No. 10 prospect who we’ve barely heard from in nearly two years. It had been 706 days between Tiedemann’s last Minor League appearance in 2024 and his first rehab appearance this season, back on June

BOSTON -- Jesús Sánchez is back in game action down in Single-A Dunedin, putting him on track to potentially return to the Blue Jays by next weekend. After going 1-for-3 in a Florida Complex League game on Thursday, this was Sánchez’s first game back with a full-season affiliate as he

BOSTON -- Dylan Cease, standing on the mound with his hands reaching for the sky after throwing 120 pitches, didn’t look like a man on a 48-57 team. That’s why this matters. Cease’s talent is only matched by his stubbornness on these special days, creating an unstoppable force. In Saturday’s

BOSTON -- The Blue Jays still have some flashes in them, especially when Dylan Cease pitches like that. Saturday’s 6-0 win over the Red Sox was clean and simple, which we haven’t seen enough of from this 2026 team. The win moves the Blue Jays to 48-57.

BOSTON -- Just over a year ago, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stood in this same rugged hallway at Fenway Park. It was the beginning of the greatest year of his baseball life. He’d just signed a $500 million contract that morning. He didn’t know it yet, but a World Series run

BOSTON -- Even when the Blue Jays find a way to make a game of it, the American League Wild Card race just keeps drifting away from them. Friday night’s 6-4 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park dropped the Blue Jays (47-57) to 6 1/2 games back of

BOSTON -- With one big swing on Friday night at Fenway Park, Kazuma Okamoto broke Shohei Ohtani’s rookie record for the most home runs by a Japanese-born player, with 23. The Statcast-projected 408-foot shot to straightaway center finally got the Blue Jays on the board in the seventh inning in

BOSTON -- Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger's long, frustrating season is now a lost season. Barger will undergo right elbow surgery on Monday, which could require a full Tommy John procedure. If that’s the case, Barger’s rehab process is estimated around nine months, which would stretch well into the 2027

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays agreed to a $2.4 million bonus with their first pick from the 2026 MLB Draft, lefty Cole Carlon. The bonus comes in just below the slot value for the No. 39 pick, which is $2,571,700. The Blue Jays did not pick in the first round

TORONTO -- These past two days, the Rays have looked like a team specifically designed to expose all of the Blue Jays’ flaws.

TORONTO -- At this point, every single thing lives in the light of the Trade Deadline. Each loss is another step closer to the Blue Jays, at some point in the days leading up to Aug. 3, announcing to the rest of baseball that they’re sellers. It’s baseball’s version of

TORONTO -- Day by day, you can feel the pressure building around and amongst the Blue Jays. The 100th game of the season brought another loss, this time a 7-1 defeat by the Rays, and the Blue Jays don’t exactly have 62 games to work with here. The Trade Deadline

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays wanted to come out of the All-Star break looking like a new team, but this series loss to the White Sox carried over all of the old themes from the first half. Sunday afternoon’s 3-0 loss left the Blue Jays (46-53) still scrambling to gain

TORONTO -- Duane Ward, one of the greatest relievers in Blue Jays history and a two-time World Series champion, has died. He was 62. Ward was in Toronto this week for the Blue Jays’ celebrations to honor those 1992-93 teams, which included Saturday’s unveiling of the Back-to-Back World Series Statue.

TORONTO -- Walking back onto this field, one after the other, the old World Series champions were all 25 years old again.

TORONTO -- When your franchise unveils its first player statue outside the stadium and celebrates its two World Series teams in a sprawling pregame ceremony, you’d better find a way to win the game that follows. The Blue Jays did just that, beating the White Sox, 1-0, in front of

TORONTO -- When you win in this city, it lasts forever. Finally, outside the gates of Rogers Centre, stands a statue that will do the same.
