While they said goodbye to players like Bichette, Chris Bassitt, Max Scherzer, and Seranthony Domínguez, they improved by adding Dylan Cease, Kazuma Okamoto, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. They look li...3019Tue, 03 Feb 2026 11:52:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/trey-yesavage-new-curveball/Trey Yesavage took the world by storm in 2025 with his high release point that led to a high rising fastball and a devastating splitter to pair alongside it. His third pitch is a harder gyro slider that sits in between the velo of his fastball and splitter, which forces hitters to guess when a p...3026Mon, 02 Feb 2026 11:56:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/jose-berrios-denied-insurance-world-baseball-classic/Several players who were planning to suit up for this year’s World Baseball Classic have been forced to withdraw from the tournament, just days before final rosters are due.

That's when opportunity quietly opens for players on the fringe of the roster. The Blue Jays have extended invites to 27 players from the minor league...3028Sun, 01 Feb 2026 14:13:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/dont-forget-about-jake-bloss-r3020/As consequential as 2025 was for the Blue Jays at the big league level, things were just as promising for their minor league pitching. It's been a long time since they've developed a homegrown starter that has lasted more than a handful of years in MLB before switching teams or roles, and that w...3020Fri, 30 Jan 2026 11:54:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/zips-projected-standings-favourites-tight-al-east/Another day, another treat for all of us projection freaks.

The rest of the team reports on the 16, and games begin five days later. The Toronto Blue Jays may be done adding to their offense, as all the big-dollar free agents have signed elsewhere.

Fresh off signing a five-year, $92.5 million contract (with deferrals and an opt-out sprinkled in), he was supposed to provide the Blue Jays with some much-needed power as a middle-of-the-order bat. He was coming off a season in which he hit...3018Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:54:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/steven-kwan-trade-target-again/At last season's trade deadline, the Toronto Blue Jays were sitting atop the AL East with a narrow lead over the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox.
