How To Install On iPhone or iPad How To Install On Android Device Developing a pure, native app for either Android or iOS is a breathtakingly expensive endeavor, which is why we haven’t done it, despite so many requests over the years. Thankfully, technology has met us halfway, and PWAs (Progressive Web Applications) have reached maturity in the marketplace. What is a PWA? It’s effectively a pseudo-app that works much like a native application but doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars in development to produce. It creates a single browser instance and maintains it as if it were an application. It’s basically a standalone browser tab, dedicated specifically to Jays Centre. From this app instance, you can receive notifications; the typical browser interface is removed, and the site is presented clearly, using as much screen real estate as possible, all without sacrificing any functionality. The site is faster, more reliable, and offers more mobile functionality than a standard web browser. Additionally, a newer, completely updated Jays Centre is coming later this year, and that will add even more app-like features, making PWA usage even better for all our users. With that said, here’s how you turn Jays Centre into an app on your mobile device.

Owen and Jesse are scratching and clawing to find positives at this point in the season, especially after the Jays drop two of three to the Red Sox. They talk about Kevin Gausman's bounce-back performance in what could have been his final start as a Blue Jay, and the legacy that he'll be leaving behind if he is, in fact, traded in the next week. They talk about Shane Bieber's trade value in comparison to Gausman's before getting into George Springer's value in a potential trade. Of course, Owen and Jesse have thoughts from the actual baseball that was played this weekend and have tons of praise for Dylan Cease's historic one-hit, 12-strikeout, complete-game shutout. They finish by previewing the upcoming series against baseball's best offense in the Washington Nationals.

This is the Jays Centre preview of the 2026 MLB trade deadline! In this episode, Owen and Jesse discuss the big picture about what to expect from the Blue Jays as the deadline approaches. Is there any chance left that they buy? What would a successful trade deadline look like? Should this team aim to compete in 2027 or rebuild from the ground up? They then go through the players who are likely to be traded and discuss what the team could get in return for George Springer, Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho and Shane Bieber, plus a debate on whether or not Jeff Hoffman should be traded, and what type of haul would it take to move on from Louis Varland? We also explore whether the Blue Jays should buy with an eye on 2027 and beyond, and what that could look like at this trade deadline.

The Toronto Blue Jays selected Will Brick at #131 in the 2026 MLB Draft. Brick is a catcher from Christian Brothers High School in Tennessee. The slot value for the pick is $581,100. Brick was ranked 50th on our MLB Draft Consensus Board. Here’s what our write-up of Brick by DiamondCentric draft expert Jamie Cameron: Brick is another reclass originally part of the 2027 draft class who is currently committed to Mississippi State. Prep catching (and catching in general) is notoriously difficult to prognosticate, but Brick has well-rounded skills and tools that give me a greater level of optimism than most prospects in this demographic. Hitting from the right side of the plate, Brick has a clean swing and put up some of the best bat speed numbers on the 2025 summer showcase circuit. While he hasn't accessed more than average in-game power yet, Brick's swing and frame have the ingredients to get there. This is supplemented by good bat-to-ball skills and a solid approach, a combination of offensive skills that may eventually get Brick to above-average hit and power tools. Defensively, he's a strong prospect. It's a massive arm, with additional skill (sub 1.9 pop times) in controlling the running game. His receiving game (and defense in general) is as praised as his leadership capabilities and other intangibles. Prep catching is not a demographic that inspires confidence, but Brick is one of the few I'd bet on to make an impact as a pro.

The Toronto Blue Jays selected Cole Carlon at #39 in the 2026 MLB Draft. Cole Carlon is a starting pitcher at Arizona State University. The slot value for the pick is $2,571,700. Cole Carlon was ranked #20 on our MLB Draft Consensus Board. Here’s what our write-up of Cole Carlon by Jamie Cameron from our MLB Draft Consensus Board said of Cole Carlon. Carlon is one of the fastest-rising college arms in 2026 in a demographic that has suffered from injuries and inconsistent performance. After contributing to the Sun Devils immediately as a freshman bullpen arm, Carlon improved his sophomore season significantly, cutting his ERA in half and flashing far more dominant stuff. It's a good-looking delivery from Carlon. While there aren't outlier release traits, he hides the ball well during his delivery and has an ideal pitcher's frame at 6'5, 220 pounds. He's moved from the bullpen to a starting role in 2026. The results have been spectacular. Carlon had a 4.30 FIP through 83.2 innings of work this season while striking out 38% of hitters. The stuff is as explosive as ever, his fastball sits 94-96 mph, but he's run it up to 100 mph. His slider is one of the best in the class, a mid-80s gyro offering that generates a ton of swing and miss. Carlon mixes in a curveball and a changeup, too. There's still some refinement needed to the strike throwing, but Carlon's walk rate has improved from 11.3% in 2025 to 8.9% in 2026. Carlon is looking like a first-round prospect with starter traits who should move quickly as a pro. Cole Carlon is an arm that will fit in nicely with the group of players the Toronto Blue Jays have selected over the last couple of drafts. He has great stuff, but will need to develop a third pitch. The fastball/slider combo will let him succeed while he is moving through the system. At Arizona State University, the strikeouts were the big draw, taking a big leap his Junior season, striking out 133 in 83.2 IP. The pick looks good as Carlon appears to be a future workhorse starter that can eat innings and go deep into games, while striking out a lot of batters. At this stage, he appears to be a college version of Johnny King. The stuff is there, but the finer command is a work in progress and shows there is still a ton of potential in the projection down the road. Expect Carlon to slot into the top five of the Blue Jays prospects when he signs.

The Blue Jays were supposed to use the All-Star break to recharge and reset for a crucial stretch leading up to the trade deadline. Instead, they came out flat. After allowing 12 runs to the White Sox in the series opener, the Blue Jays managed just one run over the final two games and somehow escaped without being swept. In this episode, Owen and Jesse say goodbye to the Blue Jays' playoff hopes and shift the conversation to what is still worth watching over the remainder of the season. Plus, they share their frustration with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s disappointing season, highlight encouraging performances from Shane Bieber and Trey Yesavage, and give some love to the brand-new Joe Carter statue outside Rogers Centre.
