I'm working on a few wedding-themed stories and would love to connect with wedding planners/coordinators to chat about current trends. Also looking for engaged couples who are planning for 2026/2027. You can reach out at [email protected]. Thanks 🙏

What a fun chat! It was a true career highlight to finally debut on the @torontomike.com podcast.

Looking forward to this! Send your Qs @torontomike.com’s way!

Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello spoke about the need to bring consistent energy for 40 minutes. The Tempo started fast on Sunday against the Dream, but couldn’t sustain it. My latest for the Canadian Press: www.thespec.com/sports/baske...

I had the chance to cover my first Toronto Tempo - and first WNBA - game today for the Canadian Press On the 93-72 win over the Storm: ctvnews.ca/toronto/sports…

I covered the Blue Jays for the Canadian Press today, so wrote about the Cease and Guerrero injuries and why Toronto is hopeful they avoided anything serious share.google/T6aRpO7OgEXw...

Checking in with a brief update of what I've been working on lately, paired with some nostalgic thoughts about my first full-time job in journalism at Post Sports: kaitlynmcgrathwrites.beehiiv.com/p/may-22-wha...

My first freelance longread is here! For @nationalpost.bsky.social I wrote about...tennis! And pickleball! Racket sports are thriving, and a big reason why is that many people are realizing they can play -- and love -- both sports: nationalpost.com/feature/tenn...

I will be in mourning for a full week after last night’s Survivor 50 episode

I put together a little post on what returning to journalism has been like, with links to some of my recent work. You can read it here: kaitlynmcgrathwrites.beehiiv.com/p/early-thou...

I was at the Blue Jays game yesterday and got to talk to an awesome kid named Blake, who threw the ceremonial first pitch and got to meet two of his heroes, Trey Yesavage and George Springer, as part of his Make-A-Wish day. My story for The Globe and Mail: www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseb...

I’m not ready to live in a world without Jamie Ding on my TV at 7:30 😥

For the Canadian Press, I wrote about the Canadian women’s rugby team, who today introduced the Rugby Rematch Tour, which will see Canada play England at BMO Field in October share.google/OuPwLKDIWUBR...

For CP, I pinch-hit for @jchidleyhill.bsky.social on Raptors today as they gear up for Game 3 against the Cavaliers and try to dig out of a 0-2 hole in the series share.google/SKiZWjVTBqoL...

SOURCE CALLOUT: Hi all, I'm working on a story on the growing popularity of tennis and pickleball. I'd love to chat with people who recreationally play tennis, pickleball, both or have switched from one to the other. You can reply to me here or at [email protected]. Thanks!

Surprise, I was back at the Rogers Centre doing some reporting today. For CP, here’s a piece on George Springer’s fractured big toe and where the Blue Jays go from here: share.google/WphJAw16YpUx...

Gushue is the GOAT and a big reason why I'm a longtime curling fan. Fun story: Brad Gushue was once at a Blue Jays game when I was covering the team. I was fangirling hard in the press box, trying to figure out if I could meet him. The US baseball writers had no idea what I was going on about 😂

Love this graphic. After watching Survivor as a kid/teenager, Season 40, Winners at War, got me back in as an adult. The fact that it coincidentally coincided with the pandemic gave me ample time to catch up on seasons I missed. It’s amazing after all these years, the show is still so great

Wishing Buck all the very best in his retirement. He’s a true legend in broadcasting, a Blue Jays icon, and also an incredibly kind person. It was a true delight to be able to get to know him a bit. I look forward to the day the Blue Jays add him to the Level of Excellence. I hope it’s very soon.

I’ll always cherish the time I spent as a colleague of Richard’s at The Athletic. Both his mentorship and friendship - which continued even after I left TA - has been extremely impactful to me. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

A lot of people have asked me what it’s been like to watch the Blue Jays this year, now that I’m not on the beat. So, I wrote about that experience for @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Love this via @kaitlynmcgrath.bsky.social: I’ve seen the Blue Jays play 1,000 times, but I’m new to being a fan www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Oh hi! It’s been a while since I’ve said this, but I wrote about the Blue Jays and what it’s been like watching their World Series run from outside the press box for @thestar.com www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

I know this isn’t my job anymore but I was curious. Last season, the Blue Jays used a total of 10 different starting pitchers over the course of the season. This year, on May 6, they’ve already used eight different starters. Anyway, that’s the stat. I’ll return to my non-beat writing life now 😂

Important question: Is there anywhere I can watch The Pitt finale live tonight? I can’t find it on Crave…

Wishing good luck to all my friends and former colleagues who are starting their spring training coverage! Amid the snowstorm in Toronto, I’m jealously looking at your photos ☀️ ⚾️

🚨 Journalism job 🚨 My previous position as Blue Jays staff writer at The Athletic is posted! A chance to work with a truly outstanding staff of MLB writers and editors at a publication that will make you a better journalist. Highly recommend! jobs.lever.co/theathletic/...

The Athletic is a unique and valuable voice in Canadian sports media. Its Canadian employees take great pride in the reputation we've helped build and the standard we've set. That's why we're taking steps to unionize our workplace. Our mission statement:

We are the Canadian workers of The Athletic and this morning we filed with the Canadian Industrial Relations Board our intent to unionize with CWA Canada. Later today, we'll do the same with the Ontario Labour Relations Board. Join us as we organize.

There are only so many full-time jobs in Canadian sports media. I believe it's our responsibility to make them as stable and rewarding as possible.

Thanks to @wilnerness.bsky.social for the opportunity to share some of my memories from my years on the Jays beat and a chance to say thanks and goodbye to all the readers and listeners!

Three New Year’s resolutions for the #BlueJays in 2025. This is my last article for The Athletic, so please be nice in the comments 🥺 www.nytimes.com/athletic/602...

Some personal news to close out 2024: I'm leaving The Athletic and the Blue Jays beat at the end of the year for another opportunity. This was a difficult decision after eight years at The Athletic. I'm so grateful for my time there, but this felt like the right time to pivot.

Blue Jays dropped three spots in the Draft Lottery from 5th to 8th. Not ideal!

Phillies take a one-year risk on Jordan Romano returning to form as a dominant late-inning reliever. Some details in this story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...

The Toronto BBWAA chapter named our annual winners. Vlad Guerrero Jr. was Player of the Year; Jose Berrios was Pitcher of the Year; Bowden Francis was Most Improved while Spencer Horwitz was Rookie of the Year. Additionally, Danny Jansen was given the John Cerutti Award for his good character

I set this account up a while ago, but after much persuading from @wilnerness.bsky.social, I am now finally dedicated to using it!
