Career HR/9 : Rogers : 0.6 Hoffman : 1.5 (2025 was 2.0) #Bluejays

Tyler Rogers is a massive get for the #BlueJays. He doesn't strike out many guys (16.1%), but his elite ability to limit walks (2.3% BB%, 100th %ile) and limit barrels (2.1% Barrel%, 100th %ile) gives him a bFIP of 2.63, only topped by Edwin Díaz (1.99) and Phil Maton (2.50) among FA RP with 50+ IP.

Tyler Rodgers is a ground ball machine. A machine. To me it kinda hints at Bo living at 2B if he returns. #Bluejays

A must read imo, this guy is the antithesis of the velo-kings closers, reliable, consistent & apparently exactly what the #Bluejays needed. Didn’t break the entire bank either www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/blue...

#Bluejays seem prepared to take on the highs & lows of a champion season. 2025 Rogers data: IP: 77 HR: 4 Innings per HR : 19 WHIP: 0.944 ERA+ : 203 WAR: 2.4 I don’t like the delivery but I love the numbers - it’s a great get if he can do it again. Saving the big $ for bats?

#Bluejays miss Robert Suarez, after Diaz maybe the best Closer on the market. Maybe the boys have alternatives in mind but I’m hoping they don’t aren’t thinking of running it back with Hoffman.

#BlueJays well deserved!

Yariel Rodríguez, suddenly outrighted off the 40-man roster and unclaimed on waivers, is facing an uncertain future with the #BlueJays. Story on where this could go from here: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

A “Dylan Cease” Must Read imo #Bluejays hire a mixed bag. But it’s Gucci. www.mlb.com/news/dylan-c...

A lot of excitement in #Bluejays land, will wonders never #Cease! Lots of analysis of Dylan’s data, but I have a feeling the early targeting might have a lot to do with who the guy is, how he’ll fit in the clubhouse, of course on top of the data. At least I hope so.

What like I’m supposed to tell you when I’m sitting in my crack dealer’s living room? Or in the red light district in Amsterdam? Or when I’m camped outside your front door protesting a gargantuan unjustified invasion of privacy? These people are not property. #Oleksiak #Olympics

Colleen Jones has thrown her final stone, gone way too soon at 65. Fuck Cancer.

People have said #Bluejays were being used as leverage during the hunts for Soto & Ohtani… OK, I can see that, it’s business… so then are the Jays using Kyle Tucker as leverage in the hunt for Bo Bichette, and/or vice versa ? I suppose GMs can learn too….

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was letting them fly at Eladio's Saucegiving Home Run Derby! 😮‍💨

#Bluejays have 2 SP to replace for ‘26. Trey has one but 162 is grande different than a meteoric season-end rise = CYA time. Wouldn’t shock me if Chris Bassitt gets his wish, a solid vet at a reasonable price who was 2nd only to Gaus in Ks & has already bought in.

As we approach the 50th anniversary season, I hope that Buck Martinez AND Jerry Howarth are added to the Level of Excellence. Tom Cheek has been on the LOE since 2004. It's well past time for his tag team partner to be up there too. #BlueJays

On the road with limited options I tuned into the #Canucks game tonight. I haven’t seen it that bad since we used to sit in the nearly empty Pacific Mausoleum and chant “Boring” out of well, boredom. Teams usually reflect the quality & intent of ownership.

Anybody else remember when Google’s leadership declared that their moto was “Do No Evil” ?

We’ve heard this stuff before and know how it ends. Given their pitching needs in a tight market I doubt they are signing both Bo & Tucker. To be “favourites” on Tucker they’d likely need to have abandoned Bo. Maybe, but not this early, no way. I swear these guys just make it up. #Bluejays

Could the looming ‘27 #MLB lockout have teams wanting to lock up multi-year guys now rather than later? Who knows what post-lockout contracts might look like & there’s no hint anything will get cheaper. #Bluejays are in a good spot for a change but it could be more competitive than ever.

George Springer finished 7th in AL MVP Award voting. A remarkable season in every way. Few players in baseball exceeded expectation like Springer did and he did it at 36. The most important player, I’d argue, on the 2025 #BlueJays

I know the #BlueJays are used to being overlooked, but this has me putting on my tinfoil hat. Like, C'mon.

She said YESavage! 💍 #BlueJays

Happy Birthday Santiago Espinal. He hit .317 in 28 games for the 2019 #Bisons and .308 in 4 rehab games for the Herd in 2021. Also played in #Buffalo for the 2020 and 2021 #BlueJays. I spoke to him earlier this year for Conversations with the Herd: www.herdchronicles.com/single-post/...

This will make #BlueJays fans feel better, ESPN all October team featuring Vladdy, Ernie, Gimenez, Barger and Trey www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

Remembrance is also vigilance. #LestWeForget #NeverAgain

John Schneider finishes 2nd in AL Manager of the Year voting to Cleveland's Stephen Vogt. Story on the #BlueJays' manager: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Not a JS fan and even I call BS! BBWAA shouldn’t have a say. MLB media is heavily bias. Consider at the Fox Sports legends coverage: did they even see a Blue Jays game this year?. I’m sure they love the sport but BBWAA are reporters not the caretakers of the game. MLB awards should be peer selected.

So, if you take a last place team to first in the American League despite minimal roster turnover, you're NOT the Manager of the Year, but squeaking into a wild card and getting bounced immediately wins it? So why didn't Schneider win it three times already? #BlueJays

#BBWAA These people clearly take the organizations title too literally. Just one more log fuelling the fire to win it all. #Bluejays #MLB

No idea whether Vogt deserves it more than Schneider because I rarely see a guardians game & didn’t really follow them in-season. I suspect, the same can be said about Bluejays for many MLB fans south of the 49th. Whether that includes award voters (BBWA?) I can only speculate. #Bluejays

Ernie's Game: Heart AND Hustle! Voting is now open 👇 #TorontoBlueJays #BlueJays #WANTITALL #lightsupletsgo #GoJaysGo

That’s because you’re a prick, Kevin.

A young Tory MP's name gets mentioned as someone ready to cross the floor. He goes to ground and then suddenly announces he is stepping down. Young MPs just don't quit politics unless someone dumped a political horse head in the bed. #cutthroatontherideau #carneyneedsjust1

Classy move by the #Dodgers fan base. #TorontoBluejays #Bluejays #WorldSeries #Dodgers #SickKidsHospital www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

#Bluejays 2026 rotation: Gausman Berrios (hair on fire) Bieber (healed) Yesavage TBA; Teidemann will get a look, but prolly starts in Buffalo Bassitt sure looked good out of the pen. Would he do it? Prolly not. Might be a rotation option, but there are others. Looks very good already.

One way or the other, Bo Bichette will be the biggest story of the #BlueJays’ offseason. Thoughts from today on how that looks after we heard from Shapiro and Atkins: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Mark Shapiro opened with some poignant thoughts on the 2025 #BlueJays, what they accomplished on the field and how they “brought communities together.” Now says he’s more motivated than ever to win: “I hadn’t looked at the field since Saturday… I couldn’t look at the field.”

Go ahead, tell me this isn’t a full 180 from the statistical mania moulding the team post-Covid. I’m not buying. One characteristic of good leadership is the ability to change direction & learn. We may be seeing the permanent moderation of said mania. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 #Bluejays

Ross Atkins says the #BlueJays have “picked up the option” for John Schneider for 2026, which happened earlier, and are “talking about the potential of that being longer.”

Ross Atkins says that José Berríos “should have a completely normal offseason and be ready for Spring Training.” #BlueJays

Ross Atkins, when asked if Jeff Hoffman would be the #BlueJays’ closer next season: “The great thing about Jeff is he’s not married to that … I think he would be open to anything that makes us better.”

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!

Shattered. But the #BlueJays are one hell of a team. Thanks for a hell of a ride, gentlemen. #WorldSeries #Game7 #BlueJays #Toronto

Chris Bassitt in tears. “I love this group. I love these guys. I will love them forever.” Genuine raw emotion from a 36-year veteran, who’s been around a long time. #BlueJays

Jeff Hoffman said he cost the #BlueJays the World Series. He was great throughout the playoffs; we wouldn’t have been there without him. One bad pitch wasn’t everything. No single player should bear that burden. 3 for 17 with RiSP ain’t great. Every guy on this team can hold their head up high.

Watching the #BlueJays postseason coverage, instead of celebrating a #WorldSeries w/ neighbours. Feeling very sad listening to the open emotion expressed by all. This team is an extraordinarily warm, caring & thoughtful group who loved playing great baseball together. 💙 Love our team. Very sad loss.

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

It was, to borrow Wellington’s famous expression after Waterloo, “a near run thing”... Disappointing, especially seeing as the Jays out hit and out scored the Dodgers in the series, but such is the way of things sometimes. Oh well, next year for sure, right? #BlueJays, #WorldSeries

Huge respect for Max Scherzer, never thought I’d hear him say he was “Proud To Be A Bluejay” #Bluejays
