MILWAUKEE -- The carrot continues to dangle in front of the Blue Jays. They reached out to bite it Monday night, but .500 still eludes the Blue Jays after a 3-1 loss to the Brewers to open their series in Milwaukee. The Blue Jays haven’t sat at .500 since April

MILWAUKEE -- Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s bat took over Toronto's 3-1 loss to the Brewers on Monday, but not how you’d think. In the fourth inning, Vladdy’s bat flew out of his hands and whizzed over the Blue Jays’ dugout into the netting above as players ducked and scrambled. But it

OAKLAND -- How teams respond when stacking up against the best of the best can say a lot about who they are. The same can be true when facing clubs at the bottom of the standings. After the Blue Jays battled earlier in the week to secure a split in

OAKLAND -- It was a play that only could have happened at the Coliseum. The Blue Jays had just taken the lead on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's bases-clearing double in the 10th inning of their eventual 6-4 win, and they were looking to keep the line moving. With Kiner-Falefa on second and

OAKLAND -- There were several close calls in the past, but for several reasons -- from weather to extra innings -- Kevin Gausman had yet to truly go the distance in his 12 years in the big leagues. At last, everything lined up as Gausman twirled the first nine-inning shutout

OAKLAND -- Right-hander Alek Manoah will undergo surgery to repair his right ulnar collateral ligament, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said before Friday's game against the A's. Manoah will miss at least the rest of the 2024 season. The surgery is scheduled for June 17 with Dr. Keith Meister, who

OAKLAND -- A subpar start to the 2024 campaign has created plenty of tough decisions for the Blue Jays. The latest one was designating Cavan Biggio for assignment in order to create room for Spencer Horwitz on the 26-man roster before Friday's 2-1 walk-off loss to the A's, a move

OAKLAND -- Chris Bassitt fired his final pitch of the night, a curveball that A's left fielder Miguel Andujar swung through for strike three, and turned to walk back to the visitors' dugout after tossing eight innings of one-run ball. But first, he leaned down to scoop up a handful

TORONTO -- That’s what it’s supposed to look like. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is supposed to hit home runs and the Blue Jays are supposed to win. Neither has happened enough in 2024, but Thursday’s 6-5 win over the Orioles at Rogers Centre looked like a carefully choreographed version of their

TORONTO -- Did the Blue Jays ever need that one. Isiah Kiner-Falefa was the walk-off hero in the bottom of the ninth Wednesday night in Toronto, and by the time his teammates were done mobbing him, they were 100 feet past the infield dirt into left field, celebrating a 3-2

Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.

Ten months after the Pirates selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Paul Skenes arrived in Pittsburgh and immediately asserted himself as one of the best pitchers in the big leagues. Two other first-rounders from the Class of '23 preceded him to the Majors, with

TORONTO -- A win is a win, but losses have layers. Some can be dismissed, stuffed into a beige folder full of silver linings and locked in a drawer. Others, like the Blue Jays’ 10-1 loss to the Orioles on Tuesday night, just don’t fit. The Blue Jays were outplayed

TORONTO -- Those weren’t old highlights of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s rookie season. Five years later, he’s back at third base. Guerrero hadn’t started at the hot corner since Sept. 27, 2019, in the final days of his rookie season. He’s made a couple of late-game cameos since then and routinely

TORONTO -- It felt like the Blue Jays’ outfielders spent the whole night running back to the wall. When the Orioles weren’t hitting home runs, they were scaring the Blue Jays with deep fly balls to the warning track. Over and over, one of baseball’s most powerful lineups made the

TORONTO -- George Springer never stops. If he’s not talking, he’s singing. If he’s singing, he’s probably dancing, too. The confidence you see in Springer didn’t always come easy. Springer stutters and has dealt with that since he was a child, but he is now using his platform to support

Discussions of hitting prospects typically involve a breakdown of tools and skills. Who has the most raw power? Who has the best feel to hit? Even with the advent of so much more data, these evaluations often provide at least a little subjectivity. Imagine if, in one day, you could
