Thank you for your tireless work, along with your fellow researchers in bringing this long ignored serious issue to light. Hopefully governments, at all levels will pay attention and take steps to rectify this before we have no HC workers left. It's already at crisis levels. #cdnpoli

Guardians are down, Rangers are down and the #BlueJays are out to an early lead. Toronto could end tonight in the final spot. The AL Wild Card is sitting there for whoever the hell wants it. The bar isn't low, it's underground.

Happy 28th Birthday to Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Andrés Giménez! He leads the Blue Jays with 20 stolen bases this season.

45 years ago today, Jesse Barfield made his MLB debut with the Blue Jays. Batting seventh and playing right field, he recorded his first MLB hit and stolen base in the Jays' 4-3 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park. His first hit was an RBI single in the fifth.

35 years ago today, Pat Hentgen made his MLB debut with the Toronto Blue Jays. He pitched two scoreless innings in relief in the Blue Jays' 8-4 loss to the Baltimore Orioles at SkyDome. He struck out the first batter (Bob Melvin) he faced.

Nathan Lukes said that after he gave John Schneider a big hug and apologized for last night’s base-running error, a few teammates told him he’d come up big tonight: “I guess you can’t screw up base running if you just hit the ball over the fence.” #BlueJays

Shane Bieber will be shut down from throwing for the next couple of weeks, then the #BlueJays will reevaluate. This sounds like a situation where they hope to get him back in some capacity by the end of the season, but the next couple of weeks will be big.

I’m confident that, someday, I will write a story about Dylan Cease throwing the first #BlueJays no-hitter in my lifetime. Until then, another story about his spectacular season: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Toronto's no-hit drought continues, but signs of growth abound for Cease

NEW YORK -- One day, Dylan Cease will pull up a chair to Dave Stieb’s table. No-hitters are mythical in Toronto. It has been nearly 36 years since Stieb finally recorded the first and only no-hitter i...

Schneider wants to see Guerrero get back to his "normal" self: "That’s all we’re looking for, nothing crazy. It would be great if he went on one of those crazy heaters like he did in the postseason, but it’s about hitting the ball hard, playing defense and being Vlad.” #BlueJays

That's Dylan Cease's 200th strikeout of the season, the sixth consecutive year he's hit 200. Only Jacob Misiorowski (210) has more this season in MLB. #BlueJays

The headliner of the #BlueJays return for Jeff Hoffman is LHP Dasan Hill, the Twins’ #7 prospect. A big, hard-throwing lefty with serious upside. RHP John Klein (MIN #17) and 2B/LF Dameury Pena

Spencer Arrighetti is a strong return for two months of Daulton Varsho. He has club control through the end of the 2029 season and has options remaining. If the #BlueJays can get him in the zone and turn him into a usable depth starter, that's a real win.

Daulton Varsho said that a lot of emotions have flooded in today when he learned his time with the #BlueJays was ending. It’s been an emotional 24 hours: “I felt it last night with Gausman on the plane. We broke down and he cried with me and George.”

José Soriano will be a similar type of project to Dylan Cease for Pete Walker and the #BlueJays' pitching staff. He's already got great shit. He sits at 97-98 mph with a nasty knuckle curve. If they push the right buttons, they can turn a very good pitcher into a great one.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just missed that one, which would have been his first home run here in 2026. That swing looked better, but didn't sound like he hit it clean. Also looked like he wanted to smash his helmet into 1,000 little pieces, but peace prevails. #BlueJays

Brandon Valenzuela needs to stay on the roster when Alejandro Kirk returns. I really don't care about "asset management" talk. The #BlueJays need to win as many baseball games as possible and Valenzuela clearly gives them the best chance to do that.

What a complete game this is from Ernie Clement. A home run and a triple on top of some of the best defence we've seen from him all season. He might be the #BlueJays' best everyday player right now.

37 years ago today, the Blue Jays earned their first win at SkyDome, 4-2 over the Brewers. John Cerutti tossed a complete game and Ernie Whitt had three hits and three RBIs. It also marked the 1st MLB game played both outdoors and indoors, as rain forced the roof to be closed in the fifth inning.
