Welcome to Jays Centre!

What are your thoughts on him? Who Will Land This Offseason's Biggest International Free Agent? - Padres - Padres Mission PADRESMISSION.COM Munetaka Murakami is ready to make his highly anticipated move to Major League Baseball in 2026. Who makes the most sense to land the star slugger?

Twins and Brewers, then Padres. Those are the three places I’ve lived the longest.

I was cheering for the Jays, but it would be disingenuous to call myself a Jays fan. To me, it’s more about the community than the team, though there are some teams I avoid.

A heartbreaking loss for you guys. I was just about losing my mind, and I had no horse in the race. I've been running baseball sites for over 20 years now, and this is the first time I've been able to experience a World Series from the eyes of a fanbase. Thanks to the Blue Jays for that, even if it ended in heartbreak.

The Blue Jays were so close. So close. Owen Hill and Jesse Burrill break down the heartbreaking Game 7 of the World Series.

Payroll almost has to rise, given they've gone seven games in the World Series. Does this mean the Jays keep Bichette?

Are we all stressed out yet? How are your fingernails doing? Game 7 at Rogers Centre tonight will decide the World Series. The Dodgers forced tonight’s winner-take-all with a 3-1 victory in Toronto on Friday, setting up a marquee pitching matchup: Max Scherzer for the Blue Jays and Shohei Ohtani for the Dodgers. First pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Reports indicate Ohtani will start on three days’ rest. Game 6 featured Yoshinobu Yamamoto working 6 innings of one-run ball before Los Angeles covered the final nine outs with Justin Wrobleski in the seventh, Roki Sasaki in the eighth, and Tyler Glasnow for the ninth. Glasnow recorded the save on three pitches, ending the game with a line-drive double play started by Kiké Hernández. Kevin Gausman started for Toronto. Scherzer’s assignment gives Toronto a starter with extensive World Series history. He has started Fall Classic games with Detroit in 2012, Washington in 2019, and Texas in 2023, and he took the ball in the most recent Game 7 back in 2019. Scherzer will become the fourth pitcher to start multiple winner-take-all World Series games, joining Bob Gibson, Lew Burdette, and Don Larsen.

Under the two-way player usage rules, if he starts as a pitcher, he may continue as the designated hitter upon removal; if he were to enter only in relief and not finish the game on the mound, the Dodgers would forfeit the DH. Los Angeles has mapped out coverage behind him: Glasnow is lined up for bulk innings after throwing only three pitches in Friday’s save, Blake Snell is likely available in some capacity, and Sasaki, who threw 33 pitches with an up-down in Game 6, could be a leverage option. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. enters Game 7 with seven home runs and 28 hits across this postseason. Ernie Clement has provided high-contact output, batting .397 with a .947 OPS in the postseason. Alejandro Kirk has added power from the catcher spot with five postseason home runs and an .838 OPS. George Springer, who exited Game 3 with right-side discomfort, returned to the lineup for Game 6; Bo Bichette, activated for the Series after a left knee sprain, played the full Game 6 at second base and remains limited on the bases.

He threw complete games in his last two postseason starts, including World Series Game 2 at Rogers Centre, where he allowed one run on four hits with no walks and eight strikeouts. In the regular season, he logged 173 2/3 innings with a 2.94 FIP and a 10.42 K/9. Toronto’s overall postseason offense has produced a .284/.350/.477 line through 16 postseason games. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. enters Game 6 at .415/.506/.831 with eight home runs and a 1.337 OPS across 79 postseason plate appearances. Addison Barger is at .346/.414/.558 with a .972 OPS in 52 at-bats. George Springer has posted a .246/.323/.561 line with a .884 OPS and four home runs across 57 at-bats, though, is questionable for Game 6. Status Updates Springer left Game 3 with right-side discomfort. He remained on the World Series roster and did not start Games 4 or 5. The club described him as a possibility for a return in Toronto for Game 6. Davis Schneider led off in Springer’s place in Game 5. Bo Bichette returned from a left knee injury to make the World Series roster and started Game 1 at second base. He remains active and recorded a single to right in Game 5. Toronto has adjusted its defensive alignment to incorporate his bat while mitigating the loss of mobility. View full article

I think it's unlikely the Jays will pursue Okamoto given Vladdy, but you never know. Could be a lot of money to go around after a deep postseason run. Could This Star Slugger From Japan Be The Next Hideki Matsui? - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM In an intriguing free agent class, Kazuma Okamoto could stand out as the Sox look to add a power bat to their young lineup. Should they make a move for the international star slugger?

The 2025 World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers enters Game 5 with the series tied 2-2. In Game 1, Toronto erupted for an 11-4 win, exploiting Los Angeles’ bullpen early. In Game 2, the Dodgers answered with a dominant performance behind starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who threw a complete game and held the Jays to four hits and one run. Game 3 turned into a marathon 18-inning affair, won by Los Angeles via a walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman, and in Game 4, Toronto evened the series with a 6-2 victory behind a key two-run shot by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage gets the nod for the Blue Jays in Game 5 — his second World Series start after beginning the season in Single-A. Yesavage became the second-youngest pitcher ever to start Game 1 of a World Series, at 22 years and 88 days old. He started Game 1 and worked four innings, giving up two runs on four hits and three walks while his team won 11-4. On the Dodgers’ side, veteran left-hander Blake Snell starts Game 5, looking to rebound after a shaky World Series opener. Snell entered the postseason with strong metrics and a 0.86 ERA in his first three starts, but in Game 1, he left with the bases loaded and all inherited runners scored. Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ pitching usage over the past two days has been extreme: Game 3’s 18-inning marathon saw the bullpen use nine relievers to cover 13⅓ innings of one-run ball, the most relievers ever used in a World Series game. The Dodgers' bullpen is their biggest weakness: in the second half of 2025, their 4.37 FIP was 23rd in baseball.
