He's fighting for a role in Toronto's Opening Day rotation.  Speaking to members of the media after he started the Blue Jays' first Grapefruit League game on Saturday, Lauer made it clear that he doesn't see himsel...3077Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:56:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/swinging-less-vladimir-guerrero-jr-more-dangerous/On Saturday afternoon, I found myself in an all-too-familiar situation: genuinely excited to watch TV. It wasn’t reruns of Parks and Rec or Sportsnet’s Misplays of the Month. It was Blue Jays baseball. And for a moment, it was pure euphoria. It felt like I was sitting on a baseball-shaped c...3076Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:56:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/jose-berrios-health-update/Speaking to reporters (including Sportnet's Shi Davidi) after his Grapefruit League debut, José Berríos revealed that he was already pitching through discomfort at this time last spring.

Their front office put the pedal to the metal and hasn't let up. Sadly, though, for a third straight year, they pursued the top free agent available, only to be outbid by a bigger-market foe. This time...3070Mon, 23 Feb 2026 11:52:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/shortstop-prospects-arjun-nimmala-jojo-parker/The Toronto Blue Jays start this spring with some clarity at shortstop and unusual luxury in their succession plan.
