He's doing everything he can to finally earn his first All-Star selection and get back in the AL Cy Young race. The Blue Jays couldn't be more grateful.  Alejand...3434Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:02:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/player-development-pro-scouting-quietly-powering-resilient-season/Lost in this uneven season has been how deliberately the Blue Jays have constructed a roster that keeps replenishing with contributors. Through targeted transactions, pro scouting and a development pipeline, the quiet work behind the scenes has done a lot of lifting, not just this year but over...3424Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:55:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/who-is-the-blue-jays-biggest-x-factor-for-the-rest-of-2026-r3429/The Blue Jays are 34-38. That's one game worse than they were through 72 games in 2024. In case anyone needs reminding, they went on to sell at the deadline that year and finish with the worst record in the AL East.   Thankfully, this year's team doesn't need to start thinking about throwin...3429Tue, 16 Jun 2026 10:51:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/all-star-voting-update-ernie-clement-vladimir-guerrero/Major League Baseball released the first All-Star voting update this afternoon, and one thing is clear: Blue Jays fans have been voting. They've been voting a lot. A Blue Jays player ranks either first or second at every position except for outfield.

What it actually means when we say a hitter’s timing is off? If a batter is getting tied up or flailing? Statcast and Baseball Savant have given baseball nerds like us the ability to quantify all that, and so much more,...3421Fri, 12 Jun 2026 19:03:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/shape-of-the-blue-jays-cease-pi%C3%B1ango-woods-richardson-r3420/Welcome to Shape of the Blue Jays, my column where I dig into Statcast numbers to analyze recent pitch shape and swing shape trends for Toronto Blue Jays players and discuss how they have impacted their performance.

Ernie Clement is doing something that baseball history says shouldn't be possible.

At the time, I was very pleased with what I came up with: Two Blue Jays will make their first All-Star Game this summer.  I knew it was statistically improbable, but I ge...3417Wed, 10 Jun 2026 19:12:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/louis-varland-brandon-valenzuela-trade-deadline-payoff/The Toronto Blue Jays are seeing massive success from two of their trade acquisitions at last season's deadline.
