Robertson was well known for his excellent raw power, with FanGrap...2527Wed, 11 Jun 2025 14:10:47 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/brendon-little-breakout-season-all-star/This year's All-Star Game will be held July 15 in the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park. The rosters are determined by fan voting for the starters at each position, while the players and the commissioner's office choose the reserves and the pitchers. The Blue Jays are off to a 36-30 start, are f...2526Wed, 11 Jun 2025 11:58:03 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/george-springer-most-likely-all-star/I've been giving the All-Star Game a lot of thought lately. The game, scheduled for July 15, is still more than a month away, but the first round of voting for All-Star starters kicked off last week. As the managing editor of a Blue Jays blog, it's my job to try to think of timely and relevant a...2523Tue, 10 Jun 2025 11:54:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/winning-week-blue-jays-comebacks-clutch-hits-kirk-walkoff/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 6/2 through Sun, 6/8 *** Record Last Week: 4-2 (Overall: 35-30) Run Differential Last Week: +4 (Overall: -1) Standings: Third Place in AL East (4.5 GB), Sixth in AL (Currently in a three-way tie for all three WC spots. 0.5 games up on CLE.)

You probably got the same one. What struck me about the email (besides the airplane theme; why is A...2521Mon, 09 Jun 2025 13:53:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/which-pitchers-have-benefited-the-most-from-torontos-premier-defence-r2520/In recent seasons, the Toronto Blue Jays have been a top-tier defensive team. By the Def metric, Toronto was MLB’s best defensive team (19.1 Def) in 2024, and that ranking has remained unchanged thus far in 2025. An interesting question is whether some pitchers benefit more or less from Toronto’...2520Mon, 09 Jun 2025 10:52:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/won-closer-swap-jeff-hoffman-jordan-romano/Jeff Hoffman and Jordan Romano have plenty in common. Born four months apart in 1993, they were each selected by the Blue Jays in the 2014 draft, Hoffman in the first round and Romano in the 10th. Both underwent Tommy John surgery early in their careers, Hoffman right before he was drafted and R...2518Fri, 06 Jun 2025 19:05:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/bats-come-alive/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 5/26 through Sun, 6/1 *** Record Last Week: 6-1 (Overall: 31-28) Run Differential Last Week: +21 (Overall: -5) Standings: Second Place in AL East (5.5 GB), Seventh in AL (0.5 GB of Third Wild Card as of 6/1) Last Week’s Results Game 53: TOR 2 - TEX 1 Gausma...2510Tue, 03 Jun 2025 13:50:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/pitchers-of-the-month-may-2025/Last month, we celebrated Yimi García, Jeff Hoffman and Chris Bassitt. This month, those two relievers combined to blow five saves, and Bassitt posted the highest ERA of the regular starters. I’m not ready to consider the Curse of the PotM just yet, but the pitchers we highlight today might want...2503Tue, 03 Jun 2025 11:56:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/hitters-of-the-month-may-2025/May was an up-and-down month for Blue Jays hitters. After an ice-cold April in which the Jays were among the worst power-hitting teams in the sport, the bats turned the page, finding their home run stroke early in May. But just as it seemed the offence had settled into the season, a six-game roa...2507Mon, 02 Jun 2025 19:51:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/milestone-bo-bichette-100-home-runs/In my pre-season milestone watch, I tagged Bo Bichette’s 100th home run as “likely to happen.” His four home runs in 2024 were a career low, but after the injuries he battled through last season, his power coming back (and especially the power outburst we’re seeing right now) wasn’t a guarantee....2506Mon, 02 Jun 2025 13:35:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/chris-bassitt-new-toy-splitter/On Friday, Chris Bassitt took the mound against the Athletics, his team from 2015 to 2021. His final year with the A’s was arguably the best he's ever had. He went 12-4 with a 3.15 ERA. He was an All-Star for the first (and so far only) time. His 4.0 Baseball Reference WAR ranked eighth among AL...2500Mon, 02 Jun 2025 10:51:00 +0000
