Blue Jays' Danny Jansen Sacrificed His Mustache Mid-Game For An RBI Single

Danny Jansen was missing out on the offensive fun his teammates were getting into on Friday as the Blue Jays were absolutely steamrolling the Tigers. While his team had gotten up to a 9-0 lead in the top of the sixth, Jansen had started the game going 0-for-3 from the plate. ...

Amid Trade Rumors, Marcus Stroman's Twitter Is Driving Everyone A Little Nuts

Marcus Stroman is going somewhere. The Blue Jays starter is having an excellent season, putting up a 3.18 ERA for a woebegone Toronto team in the first half and earning his first all-star election. He’s also still got another arbitration-eligible year left, making him an attractive trade deadline ta...

Here's Vlad Guerrero Jr. Practicing For The Home Run Derby, Because What Else Could You Possibly Need?

Baseball got it absolutely right when it made sure Toronto’s rookie slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. would be swinging his bat in next week’s Home Run Derby, even if his debut season hasn’t quite produced the eye-popping numbers everyone expected. Baby Vlad’s eight homers in 231 plate appearances may n...

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s Second Home Run Interrupted A Replay Of His First Home Run

Lourdes Gurriel Jr.—one of Toronto’s many sons of former players—has been a rare bright spot on an otherwise mediocre Blue Jays squad. An example of just how great the 25-year-old can be came on Friday in a 6-2 win against the Royals, when Toronto’s feed could not keep up with the highlights he was ...

Marcus Stroman May As Well Have Worn A "Please Trade For Me!" Sign Into Yankee Stadium

Two things that we know for sure are that the New York Yankees are going to acquire some starting pitching before this year’s trade deadline, and that the Toronto Blue Jays are big-time ass. The Blue Jays are also in possession of 28-year-old starter Marcus Stroman, who, along with everyone else, s...

KawhiWatch: Kawhi Leonard Enjoys Baseball Game, Proving He'll Stay In Toronto

Kawhi Leonard is the prize of this summer’s NBA free agency bonanza, and the reigning Finals MVP will be courted by a bevy of teams starting July 1, all of whom will do all they can to prostrate themselves as his feet. When we checked in with Leonard yesterday, he was making a run on cardboard boxe...

Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s Righteous Dong Sent The Yankees To Hell Where They Belong

The vile and hideous New York Yankees were, inexplicably, somehow on the verge of maybe winning a game on Wednesday night, until a legend in the making shut them down. The Yanks have rightfully tasted victory only once in the month of June, and to prevent that disaster from happening again, the Toro...

Now Here Is A Preposterous Catch From Jonathan Davis

Sure, this insane highlight stab from Blue Jays outfielder Jonathan Davis came in the first inning of Wednesday night’s game at Tampa, but there were some stakes: the out kept two runs off the board after Toronto’s offense gave starter Trent Thornton a 2–0 lead, and got Thornton out of a tight spot....

Avisaíl García Had Just The Absolute Dumbest Inside-The-Park Dinger

Avisaíl García, the disorienting ceiling at the Trop, and the atrocious eyesight of Randal Grichuk all combined to give the Rays’ DH an atypical, embarrassing, inside-the-park dong during the Toronto-Tampa game on Tuesday night. In the third inning, facing Clayton Richard, García hit a high fly int...

Cavan Biggio Proves There's Enough Room In Toronto For Two Dinger-Mashing Sons Of Cooperstown Greats

The Toronto Blue Jays made history on Friday when they called up Cavan Biggio to the Majors. If Cavan’s last name sounds familiar to you, it’s because Cavan is the son of Astros legend Craig Biggio. As a result of that connection, the Blue Jays became the first team in Major League history to have t...

Marcus Stroman And The Red Sox Had Themselves A Little Squabble

What happened between Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman and the Red Sox in Tuesday’s game doesn’t rise to the level of a feud or beef. It could better be described as a tiff, or perhaps a bunfight....

Toronto's Lefty Knuckleballer Took The Longest Road Back To The Bigs

On Saturday, in his first big league start since September 2008, Ryan Feierabend threw the first complete game of his career. It was less triumphant than it sounds. Feiereabend threw four full innings in a game that wound up getting called in the fifth due to rain, allowing four runs on seven hits,...

This Is The Vlad Jr. We've Been Waiting To See

Powerful baseball prince Vladimir Guerrero Jr. didn’t enjoy the best start to his major-league career, but over the last few games he’s begun to show what he’s capable of. First and foremost among those capabilities is hitting the ball really damn hard....

A Certain Beefy Young Blue Jay Finally Socked His First Major-League Dinger, And It Was A Beaut [Update]

Holding to the principle that if a person doesn’t have anything nice to say they should say nothing at all, there hasn’t been a whole lot to say about Vlad Guerrero Jr. since his call up to the majors back on April 26. Entering Tuesday night, Vlad had played in 13 Blue Jays games, and was slashing a...

Is Fernando Rodney Okay?

Vlad Jr. Is Finally, Finally Bringing His Mighty Dingers To The Majors

Huzzah, baseball friends! Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who has been the best and most exciting and most popular player in the Toronto Blue Jays organization for more than a year, is now finally good enough to join the Toronto Blue Jays:...

Vlad Jr. Hit A Ball Out Of A Minor League Ballpark, Almost As If He Is Too Good To Be Playing In Them

While hitting for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Wednesday night, Vlad Guerrero Jr. crushed a poor baseball all the way out of a minor league ballpark in Pawtucket. And if the Toronto Blue Jays have any sense, Guerrero himself will also be exiting minor league parks very soon....

Chris Sale Is Messed Up Right Now

A fun way for a runner on third to give the middle finger to a pitcher without drawing a fine or suspension is to just straight-up steal home, when the ball’s in the pitcher’s hand. “I am not afraid of you,” the thief says. “I will make an extremely dumb choice and come away unscathed, because you w...

This Blue Jays Fan Has Ice Water In Her Veins

The Blue Jays and Tigers split a four-game series to open the season. The primary highlight of the series came on Saturday, when Brandon Drury fouled off a pitch in the fourth inning. A fan behind home plate did not flinch with the ball headed straight at her head....

Let's Check In To See How Some MLB Teams Are Treating Their Minor-League Players 

A report from Emily Waldon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic states that the Toronto Blue Jays have taken the novel approach of paying some of their employees fairer wages. Players in all eight of the team’s minor-league affiliates will receive a pay increase worth anywhere from 40 to 56 percent, as...
