Baseball: one of the few lines of work where there's a dedicated person to slap you on the back. 📸 Sportsnet

Once an alternate logo on a third uniform, the T-Bird flies again. Here's how this 2000s Blue Jays logo came to be, and why it's back in the good graces of fans once again.

6-out saves are a rarity these days, but Louis Varland already has 2 of them this year. He's one of only 5 Blue Jays this century to have multiple 6-out saves in a single season. (Via @stathead.com and @baseball-reference.com) 📸 Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images

ICYMI - The Blue Jays seem to have their favourite trade partners in recent years. These are the clubs they should target for some potential deals this year.

The Blue Jays have had success with these trade partners in the past. Why not go back to the well again at this year's trade deadline?

Last night, Louis Varland accomplished a feat that only four Blue Jays relievers have done before.

Louis Varland, goodness gracious.

George Springer has hit some special home runs during his Blue Jays tenure. Last night's career homer 300 was one of Springer's top five home runs with the Blue Jays.

I promise I'm not trying to rage bait here, but there are some Blue Jays who have no business being as high as they are on the All-Star Game ballot.

Kazuma Okamoto is among the less than 1% of hitters to accomplish this rare feat in Rogers Centre/SkyDome history. Kaz, welcome to the 500 Level home run club.

The night after he surpassed 3,500 strikeouts, it's time to have the uncomfortable conversation about Max Scherzer.

3 catchers, 2 spots. How do the Blue Jays address their catching logjam when Alejandro Kirk returns?

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff. 📸 Sportsnet

The Blue Jays have already used 10 bullpen games this season. Despite being short-handed in the starting rotation, they've fared surprisingly well.

It takes a village to weather an entire season, and these Blue Jays have become the underrated contributors on the club.

Chad Dallas is now the 25th pitcher (not counting Tyler Heineman) used by the Blue Jays in 2026. Last year, they used 34 the entire season.

The potential is there for the Blue Jays to make a David Price 2.0 trade with the Tigers to get Tarik Skubal. But for various reasons, the Jays should steer clear of the Skubal sweepstakes.

ICYMI - By some metrics, he's been one of the worst and unluckiest relievers in baseball this year. By others, he's been one of the best. What on earth is going on with Jeff Hoffman?

The Blue Jays' bullpen isn't getting enough credit. They've pitched the fifth most innings in MLB, and have five relievers who are among the league leaders in appearances.

He's authored his fair share of meltdowns, but something weird is going on with Jeff Hoffman this season.

Davis Schneider - J.P. Arencibia - and now Charles McAdoo. The Blue Jays infielder joined a very exclusive club in Blue Jays history last night.

Kazuma Okamoto was a massive wild card heading into Opening Day. Let's look at how Kaz has adjusted to the big leagues so far.

Who could've guessed that by the end of May, Yohendrick Piñango would be a fixture in the top half of the Blue Jays' lineup? More on the organization's pre-season #10 prospect, who has carved out a spot on the roster in a short span.

Last night, Lenyn Sosa ended his Major League-leading 52-game streak without a walk. His teammates were pretty pumped. (Via @stathead.com and @baseball-reference.com) 📸 Sportsnet

Life achievement unlocked: photo with Domer.

The Blue Jays are 2 games under .500, but are 7-3 in their last 10 games, now tied for the final Wild Card spot entering today.

Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion in town last night reminded me of one of the best baseball photos I've ever seen. This one is SUPER low resolution, but if anyone knows who the photographer is (and/or has a higher resolution version), please let me know!

No hyperbole, no joke. Kevin Gausman is one of the greatest starting pitchers in Blue Jays history.

The Blue Jays' best hitter at home this year is ... probably somebody you would not expect. The biggest underperformers at Rogers Centre are exactly who you'd expect.

Thanks to Kyle for having me on The Late Shift Sports Show! We talked Blue Jays logos, ballpark food, the genesis of "Blue Jay Hunter", and what the Jays need to do to turn their season around.

Did anybody else have "Patrick Corbin: starting rotation fixture" on their Blue Jays bingo card?

With another quality start yesterday — his 75th as a Blue Jay — Kevin Gausman ranks 5th all-time for Blue Jays starting pitchers in quality start percentage (minimum 130 starts). Via @stathead.com @baseball-reference.com 📸 Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images

The Blue Jays' bullpen almost won today's game single-handedly. Here's a look at how their relievers have fared as a unit this season.

That's a +.673 WPA on that Daulton Varsho walkoff grand slam.

Yariel Rodriguez has a pretty sweet souvenir baseball. 📸 Sportsnet

Is Dylan Cease evolving his game, turning into Mr. Quality Start? Last night was only the third start of his career with 7 innings, 10 strikeouts and no walks. (Via @stathead.com and @baseball-reference.com) 📸 Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images

ICYMI - Former Blue Jays manager John Gibbons called Tropicana Field a "house of horrors". It's a ballpark that continues to plague the Jays.

Did the Blue Jays slight Danhauesen in a past life? Digging into the supposed "curse" the Blue Jays have at one of their worst road ballparks: Tropicana Field. bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto...

Lenyn Sosa somehow made contact on this pitch. Even Vladimir Guerrero Sr. was like: "Dude, even I wouldn't swing at that."

At 14-17 through March and April, the start to the season wasn't great for the Blue Jays. But is it all that far off from how they started last year?

A look at the Jays from April of last year to April of this year. As meek as they've been to start the season, the 2025 Blue Jays were just a tad bit worse.

Once a depth starter for the Minnesota Twins, Louis Varland has transformed into one of the best relievers in baseball.

Not sure how that ball stayed fair, but the Blue Jays are thankful it did. 📸 Sportsnet

With Max Scherzer's ERA ballooning to 9.64, and Eric Lauer with a 6.75 ERA, reinforcements for the Blue Jays' starting rotation can't come soon enough.

Not sure if any Jays fans are interested, but there's a casting call for fans (and their fathers) for a paid beer commercial. Open to anyone in Canada. They're looking to cast folks 30-50 years old, and their fathers. Application deadline is Sunday. Good luck! groundglasscasting.com/castingcalls/

With 44 Ks, Dylan Cease now has more strikeouts than any Blue Jay in franchise history through their first 5 games with the franchise. (Via @stathead.com and @baseball-reference.com)

Via the Blue Jays' promotional schedule, here's an updated look at the Dylan Cease bobblehead being given away on June 10th. By then, it might need a much larger moustache.

Last night was rough for Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman, as was his previous appearance. But he's the least of the team's concerns right now. It's now been a rough month for the Blue Jays' scuffling offense; one that scored 2 runs on 11 singles last night.

An interesting tale of the tape between the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks and where they rank in the extra-base hit department. Dbacks: 1st overall in XBH% (9.1%) and 1st in X/H% (42%) Blue Jays: 17th overall in XBH% (6.7%) and 22nd in X/H% (31%) (Via @stathead.com and @baseball-reference.com)

The 6 on Patrick Corbin's uniform earlier today looked like it had a few too many Milwaukee brews last night. (Attn @minorleaguer.ca)
