Welcome to an all-new front page here at Jays Centre! Along with being a long-running forum for fans of the Toronto Blue Jays, we will now provide fans with thoughtful articles from fellow Jays fans and writers. It is all part of an ongoing effort to create a one-stop-shop, a community for passionate Blue Jays fans. 

Before we discuss the articles, you will notice that the forums are still complete and in mostly the same spot as before. It’s all still there. The only addition you may notice is that there is a new forum for commenting on the front-page articles. 

So, what can you look for and expect from the front-page articles of Jays Centre? To answer that, I’d like to encourage you to click on our sister site, Twins Daily, for what you might see over time from some of your favorite Blue Jays writers. Here is what you may find over time: 

  • Deep statistical analysis on a player or topic. For those who enjoy looking into baseball's many advanced statistics, some articles may help provide reasons for team or managerial decisions, situational analysis, and more. 
  • Minor league articles. The plan is to have daily minor league reports on the Blue Jays affiliates throughout the minor league season. You will see how the teams did, how the players performed, some highlights, and more. In addition, we will provide prospect rankings and more. 
  • Player profiles on major-league players or minor league players. As relationships are developed, we hope to do some player interviews and stories. Maybe there will be stories on current minor leaguers, big leaguers, or even former big leaguers who call Canada home. 
  • News articles from the day. If a player gets hurt, we will try to analyze how the front office will adjust the roster and maybe how the manager will alter lineups, rotations, roles, etc. Trade or free agent analysis. 
  • Draft coverage before, during, and following the MLB Draft. 
  • Historical articles digging into some of the great (or not-so-great) Blue Jays teams since the formation of the team in 1977. But the history of baseball in Toronto is long and filled with interesting topics and stories. 
  • Video! In the coming days, we’ll roll out our video section, which will feature short videos about Blue Jays major and minor league players.

We are not looking to duplicate Twins Daily. This community is already so very strong, so passionate. We want to add to that community and provide more options for Blue Jays fans to connect to their favorite team. The articles, much like the writers, will likely evolve, and that’s a good thing. 

What if I want to write for Jays Centre?

That’s a great question. I’m glad you asked. First, feel free to reach out to email at brock.beauchamp@jayscentre.com or contact any of the other writers and express interest. But, you will also note that the user blogs page is still there. If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Blue Jays takes, this is the perfect place. We will frequently be monitoring the blogs, and if we see quality writing and interesting topics, we may reach out to you about writing on the front page. 

It is also noteworthy that we will be paying our front-page article writers. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. 

We ask that you support our writers by clicking on their articles, reading them, and leaving comments, questions, and feedback on the topics. This is just an extension of the forums and another means of enjoying following the Blue Jays. 

I am seriously looking forward to knowing much more about the Blue Jays, their farm system, and more. 

You can also follow Jays Centre on X and Facebook.

This banner needs to be updated too. I definitely do not want to talk about any of those teams!

I'm funneling all spam bot DMs to your account. Sorry, someone had to take the bullet and I chose you. (just kidding, let me look at settings)

Nice, FYI the intro screen still says Red Sox when creating an account. Hopefully this reinvigorates us fans and brings new posters onboard.

Thank you! I've tried to capture all mentions of other teams but I always miss a few.

Have I been fooled into joining some sort of Red Sox cult?

If you're going to brainwash me at least make me into a Dodgers fan please.

Grant won't be happy haha

FYI... Horwitz(Photo above) no longer plays for the Blue Jays, he went in the Gimenez deal. 😜

Should put up Joe Carter's 93 walk-off HR trot as a replacement!

Alomar's HR off Eck was likely bigger, imo. 

Or we can use Jose's bat flip moment if we want to stay in this century lol.
