TORONTO -- Kazuma Okamoto has perfected the art of the first impression. Everything about Okamoto’s big league debut got more impressive by the inning. By the bottom of the ninth, he was racing home to score the winning run on a walk-off single from Andrés Giménez, celebrating his first win,

TORONTO -- The ace is back. Kevin Gausman said it felt like he and the Blue Jays never left, back home so soon after their Game 7 loss in last year’s World Series. Well, he hasn’t missed a beat, either. Gausman set a Blue Jays record for strikeouts on Opening

TORONTO -- What a way to light the new year on fire. The Blue Jays, 146 days after losing Game 7 of the World Series to the Dodgers, spilled onto the field to celebrate. They’ve waited so long to celebrate. Andrés Giménez was the walk-off hero, sending a sellout crowd

While the Blue Jays raise a banner and celebrate the 2025 AL Champions on Opening Day at Rogers Centre, the young A’s will be trying to show the rest of the league that they’re ready to be one of baseball’s up-and-coming contenders.

TORONTO -- The old dome is still full of ghosts. Nothing has happened in there since Game 7 of the World Series, when confetti fell on the Dodgers. Renovations and tours aren’t enough to chase the ghosts out -- only baseball can do that.

TORONTO -- When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. walks through the door or climbs those dugout steps and runs onto the field, don’t look at how he moves through the world. Instead, watch how the world moves around him.

TORONTO -- For one last day of calm inside Rogers Centre, which has sat eerily quiet since Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, the Blue Jays looked back and looked ahead. After Toronto's final workouts ahead of Opening Day on Friday against the A’s at 7:07 p.m. ET, this

TORONTO -- As the Blue Jays chase the World Series once again, a roster that will take dozens of different shapes in 2026 has its first official version. Many of these decisions took care of themselves in Spring Training, especially in a crowded starting rotation that will now see Trey

TORONTO -- Mark Shapiro doesn’t just want to do it again, he wants to do it better. The Blue Jays’ taste of the World Series seems to have unlocked a new gear in him.

TORONTO -- For years, Mark Shapiro has talked about turning Rogers Centre from a stadium into a ballpark. Much of this has meant modern solutions and renovations, but now, the Blue Jays are reaching back into their past.

TORONTO -- Baseball doesn’t allow you to sit with one feeling for long. Just a couple of days after the Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Dodgers, Ross Atkins was calling John Schneider to talk about what was next. His job is to live three

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- John Schneider has been in the Blue Jays’ organization for 25 years now -- half of this club’s history -- and he isn’t going anywhere. The Blue Jays announced a two-year contract extension for Schneider early Monday, which will run through the 2028 season, right alongside a

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays have signed general manager Ross Atkins to a five-year contract extension, the club announced Monday morning, retaining one of the architects of the 2025 World Series team. There’s a rare sense of stability in Toronto now, something most organizations strive for but rarely reach.

Finally, we can see the finish line. Which is, of course, the starting line. Spring Training has nearly come to an end, and Opening Day is so close we can almost see the bunting. (The decorations, not the small-ball strategy.) There hasn’t been a ton of drama in what figures

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Even after trading several of the organization’s top prospects away to fuel their World Series run, the Blue Jays’ farm system jumped to No. 15 in MLB Pipeline’s rankings this spring. That’s a nod to this group’s strides in pitching development, and while Trey Yesavage is the

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Each spring, we get a glimpse at the next big thing. Two years ago, in the first Spring Breakout game, it was recent first-round pick Arjun Nimmala. Last year, it was Trey Yesavage, who shot all the way from Spring Breakout to Game 7 of the World

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Canadian baseball has lost a broadcasting giant. Rodger Brulotte, one of the voices of Montreal Expos baseball alongside Jacques Doucet and later Denis Casavant, who went on to call Toronto Blue Jays games in French, has died. He was 79. Most recently, Brulotte and Casavant had been

The Blue Jays will host the A’s at Rogers Centre for Opening Day on March 27, a battle between one of baseball’s new powerhouses and a young club on the rise. There will be some celebrations to get out of the way first, as the Blue Jays will be raising

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Now that they’re all done jumping and screaming, trade talks have begun. Blue Jays catcher Tyler Heineman, who just pulled one of the most valuable Nick Kurtz baseball cards in circulation, wants to get the card back to the Athletics' young star.

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays’ rotation keeps taking on water and the club keeps plugging holes, but there’s a limit to everything. Thursday brought the news that Trey Yesavage would open the season on the IL with a right shoulder impingement, joining José Berríos (right elbow stress fracture) and

DUNEDIN -- The hits just keep on coming to the Blue Jays’ rotation. Trey Yesavage, the breakout star of 2025 and an early favorite for the ‘26 AL Rookie of the Year Award, will begin the season on the IL. Yesavage is dealing with a right shoulder impingement, manager John

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- For decades, the Level of Excellence has represented the best of the Blue Jays. This year, that will be transformed into the Hall of Excellence, and it’s getting one new member. Buck Martinez will be the first person inducted into the Hall of Excellence in a ceremony
