Instead, Hoffman turned in his worst performance of the season (to date), allowing the inherited runners plus three...2457Fri, 09 May 2025 20:24:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/addison-barger-slow-start-improvement/Aside from a (glorious) three-game blip at the end of last week, the Blue Jays' offense has been starving for power since the outset of the season. Even with the offseason acquisition of Anthony Santander, the consensus around the roster coming into the year was that the offense was going to be...2454Thu, 08 May 2025 12:58:00 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/andres-gimenez-quest-40-steal-season/Andrés Giménez is one of seven players with at least 30 stolen bases in both of the past two seasons.

The team's lack of offence has been the storyline of the young season, with several articles written about it. Back in early April, it was noted that the Blue Jays were just hitting the ball on the ground too much, and th...2452Wed, 07 May 2025 15:36:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/spencer-turnbull-more-than-stopgap/It is no secret that the Jays have been struggling to find a fifth starter. Max Scherzer is hurt, Yariel Rodríguez seems more suited to the bullpen, Jake Bloss is struggling in Buffalo, and Easton Lucas’ first two outstanding starts were not sustainable.

The veteran outfielder was Jays Centre’s Hitter of the Month for March/April, and his bat has stayed hot into May. In three games this month, he is 3-for-9 (.333) with a double, a home run, three walks, and a stolen base.  Since Opening...2450Tue, 06 May 2025 19:35:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/that-night-in-toronto-r2447/I was fortunate to be gifted a pair of tickets to the Jays game last Thursday evening. On the train in, there were a lot of fans in jerseys, but for every Guerrero Jr. or Bichette in the crowd, twice as many said Matthews or Marner. You see, while the Red Sox were in town to take on the Jays, th...2447Tue, 06 May 2025 10:55:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/week-in-review-mixed-bag/Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 4/28 through Sun, 5/4 *** Record Last Week: 3-3 (Overall: 16-18) Run Differential Last Week: -6 (Overall: -33) Standings: Fourth Place in AL East (3.0 GB), 11th in AL (2.5 GB of Third Wild Card) Last Week’s Results Game 29: TOR 2 - BOS 10 Francis: 3.0 IP, 8...2445Mon, 05 May 2025 19:32:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/minor-league-hitter-march-april-2025/It's the start of a new season, and the minor leagues are in full-go mode for Single-A through Triple-A. The Toronto Blue Jays' minor league system has been in a bit of a slump recently when it comes to producing meaningful hitters at the big league level. This year, a few hitting prospects have...2435Mon, 05 May 2025 13:59:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/jose-berrios-cutting-back-signature-slurve/José Berríos is off to a solid start in 2025. With a strong effort against the Red Sox last week, he brought his season ERA down under 4.00. If you ignore his rough Opening Day appearance, the numbers from his last six starts are particularly impressive.
