Bryan Jaeger gave us his list of five things, and honestly, I admire his restraint. That list could sprawl if we let it. As the season went on and various people in my life checked in on my mental healt...3701Thu, 01 Oct 2026 16:01:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/2026-starter-of-the-year/It wasn’t a great season for the Toronto Blue Jays’ starters. The injury bug ran rampant through the staff. José Berríos and Bowden Francis missed all season; Shane Bieber made only 11 starts; and Cody Ponce tore his ACL 2 1/3 innings into his first start. We saw Patrick Corbin and Jameson Taill...3705Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:03:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/five-game-remember-most/The 2026 Blue Jays season certainly didn’t go the way anyone expected. Coming off a high from the World Series win the year prior, dealing with several injuries to key players throughout the roster, and with underperformance from the Blue Jays superstars, you could say the season was a little bi...3700Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:59:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/most-clutch-pitching-plays-2026/The Blue Jays will be watching the postseason festivities from afar in 2026, but that isn't any fault of the pitching staff. They were extremely clutch on many occasions throughout the year, led on most nights by Louis Varland, whose +4.7 WPA placed third among all pitchers in baseball. Despite...3697Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:52:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/front-office-manager-loyalty-problem/The Blue Jays spent last winter believing in the team that nearly won the World Series. The greater mistake may have been continuing to believe after the team sputtered out of the gate. Toronto finished 79-83, a rough reversal for a club that spent aggressively over the winter and entered t...3696Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:59:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/most-clutch-hits-2026/It was undoubtedly a year to forget for most of the position players on this roster. The monster innings, big hits with runners in scoring position, and ferocious comebacks that the fanbase had grown accustomed to over the previous year all vanished to the detriment of the Blue Jays' chances of...3698Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:51:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/5-things-that-went-wrong-2026/It’s been a disappointing season for the Toronto Blue Jays, who had high hopes after a World Series trip last season. They were two outs away from winning their first championship since 1993, but Miguel Rojas ruined those dreams. That success makes this season's struggles look even worse, as the...3694Mon, 28 Sep 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/guerrero-clement-jake-bauers/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.

It took more than thirty years for the Jays to return to the World Series, yet fans expected another return in 2026. Even without the injuries and underperformance, I'm not sure the 2026 Blue Jays had enough firepower to battle...3690Thu, 24 Sep 2026 10:50:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/what-do-playoff-odds-mean/According to numbers on FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus, the Blue Jays' playoff odds are down to 0.1%. But what does that really mean? Practically speaking, it means the Jays are toast. Technically speaking, it means that if you simulated the next five days 1,000 times, Toronto would only...3691Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:29:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/brett-bateman-breakout-amazing-real/Heading into 2026, outfielder Brett Bateman was much easier to envision as a useful major league role player than as the kind of hitter who might eventually lead off for a team fighting for a playoff spot. With Pete Crow-Armstrong making a case to be a legend for the Chicago Cubs, Bateman was st...3688Wed, 23 Sep 2026 10:58:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/toronto-blue-jays-news/blue-jays/injury-updates-bateman-cease-guerrero/The Blue Jays lost to the Orioles on Monday, falling to 3.5 back in the Wild Card race with five games left in their season. If there was a silver lining to last night's events, it was seeing Trey Yesavage pitch the first two innings; he struck out three and generated six whiffs. The righty had...3686Tue, 22 Sep 2026 13:07:02 +0000
