Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman gave up a pair of singles, but a heads-up play from Addison Barger – a throw to the plate on a fielder’s choice – caught Cal Raleigh and kept the top half scoreless (+7.2% WPA). One...2781Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:00:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/toronto-blue-jays-alds-awards-r2780/In our recap of Game 4, we noted what a team effort that particular game was. That’s been the story of the season. This team has spoken publicly about how tight of a unit they are. When a new player joins the team or gets called up, they are immediately integrated into the main squad. This...2780Sun, 12 Oct 2025 20:18:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/kevin-gausman-leads-blue-jays-alcs-number-34-roy-halladay/When Roy Halladay passed away in 2017, a 26-year-old Kevin Gausman expressed regret that he never got to know the pitcher he grew up idolizing.  “One of my biggest regrets looking back is I didn't reach out to him and get his number,” Gausman told MLB.com’s Brittany Ghiroli. But Gausma...2779Sun, 12 Oct 2025 12:58:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/how-do-the-toronto-blue-jays-stack-up-against-the-seattle-mariners-in-the-alcs-r2777/Before the American League Division Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees began, I examined how the Blue Jays compared with recent World Series teams.

And now, finally, we know who will be standing between them and their first trip to the World Series since 1993.  The Mariners beat the Tigers 3-2 on Friday night in a 15-inning marathon, despite the very best efforts of Tarik Skubal and Detroit's b...2776Sat, 11 Oct 2025 15:04:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/to-win-or-not-to-win-the-blue-jays-have-answered-the-question-r2775/Greatness is a curse. The New York Yankees and their fans have lived that self-fulfilling prophecy for the better part of the last 16 years, especially last October, when they saw their best chance at a World Series title since 2009 vanish thanks to the heroics of one Freddie Freeman.

To that point, the Jays had used five pitchers in their planned bullpen game: Louis Varland, Mason Fluharty, Seranthony Domínguez, Eric Lauer and Yariel Rodríguez.

All season, they’ve been known as a group that does the little things right. They get contributions from everyone on their roster, taking an approach that magnifies all the little things: putting the ball i...2773Wed, 08 Oct 2025 12:30:40 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/23-runs-23-fun-facts-blue-jays-offence-making-history/Postseason baseball is defined by epic moments, and for the past nine years, the Blue Jays were on the wrong side of those moments. But over the weekend, things finally changed. Trey Yesavage made history as a 22-year-old, and Kevin Gausman did what you want your number one starter to do.
