ROSTER UPDATE:   🔹 All unsigned players on our 40-man roster have been tendered contracts for 2026

Can't believe what a bandwagon fan my kid is. Last year, he barely talked about the Blue Jays at all. This year, it's Blue Jays this, Blue Jays that. C'mon kid, you're nearly two. Choose a lane.

Former Blue Jays pitcher Erik Swanson has called it a career after seven MLB seasons. The 32-year-old spent three seasons in Toronto from 2023-25. 🙌

Juan Soto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Fernando Tatis Jr. all attended the SAME tryout as teenagers! Which one do you think impressed the most?

The baseball teams known at the time they were founded as the Boston Red Stockings and Chicago White Stockings are not currently known as the Red Sox and White Sox, but the Braves and the Cubs.

MLB's annual non-tender deadline is today at 5pm ET. Many players will be non-tendered across MLB, but all four arb eligible Blue Jays (Varsho, Lauer, Clement, Heineman) are expected back in 2026. Jays already created 40-man space by parting ways with Sandlin, Tate & Burr.

It seems like a pretty heavy-handed metaphor that the Blue Jays lost game 7 and every day since then in Toronto has been cold and dark at 5PM

Apparently, Bo is a Second Team All-MLB starting pitcher, and Vlad is a First Team All-MLB reliever. It was a confusing season.

Why shouldn’t I keep it?

If you can read this, and are currently an MLB free agent, the Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly "sniffing around you".

Congratulations to Blue Jays star Trey Yesavage and his girlfriend Taylor Frick on their engagement!

TORONTO SUN Braydon Fisher ends breakout Blue Jays rookie year with a wedding By Dan Bilicki https://torontosun.com/sports/baseball/toronto-blue-jays/braydon-fisher-ends-breakout-year-with-wedding

Most golfers like silence on the golf course ... not Ernie Clement 🤣

This makes me so happy. Eric Lauer, who takes the mound to Rick Ross ‘Green Gucci Suit’ (or at least did with the Brewers), posted a pic of himself in….a green Gucci suit.

Blue Jays: Myles Straw leads the charge in recruiting Kyle Tucker

With so many Canadians enjoying standout seasons in 2025, it will be a close competition for this year’s Tip O’Neill Award. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame presents this award annually to the top Canadian player. Here's a rundown of the candidates: is.gd/zl0SbE

Happy 36th Birthday to Toronto Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins! P.S. Arguably the Blue Jays' MVP in 2025.

ROSTER MOVE: 🔹 RHP Nick Sandlin has cleared waivers and elected free agency

Edwin Encarnación has been named to the @BaseballHall Ballot for the first time! He joins Mark Buehrle as part of this year’s group of 27 candidates. Results will be announced on January 20.

some of the bartolo headlines were wild

Congrats to Aaron Judge on winning the Donald J. Trump Very Special Boy Award

Congratulations to Aaron Judge on this participation trophy for almost hitting 60 homers, almost playing a demanding defensive position and almost winning your division

Congrats to Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani for winning the 2026 MVPs, too

Aaron Judge is dressed like The Rock for the AL MVP presentation

Happy Birthday Addison Barger. He hit 23 career HRs for the #Bisons. Hit 21 HRs for the #BlueJays last season. Had a 1.025 OPS in the postseason for Toronto. Belted first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history in Game 1. Slashed .480/.536/.680 in the Fall Classic.

29 years ago today, Pat Hentgen became the first Blue Jays pitcher to win the American League Cy Young Award. Hentgen in 1996: - 20-10 record - 265 2/3 innings (led AL) - 10 CGs (led AL) - 3 shutouts (led AL) - 0.77 HR/9 (led AL) - 3.22 ERA - 8.6 WAR (led AL pitchers)

15 years ago today, the Oakland A’s claimed Edwin Encarnacion off waivers from the Toronto Blue Jays, only to non-tender him a few weeks later. Encarnacion then re-signed with the Jays. He received a one-year, $2.5-million contract with a $3.5-million option for 2011. And the rest is history.

John Schneider doesn’t win the AL Manager of the Year. So I guess I’m going to look up who my new baseball writer grudges are.

John Schneider didn’t win MoY. I’m grabbing a torch. Somebody grab a pitchfork and meet me wherever these decisions are made.

Jays were picked to finish anywhere from 3rd to 5th in their division and came within a centimeter of winning the World Series and Schneider still can’t get MOY? Oooooooof

John Schneider was robbed re: Manager of the year!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️

With John Schneider not getting AL Manager of the Year, the Blue Jays have officially been snubbed so hard this awards season that they need to win it all next year out of pure spite.

Wow. MLB is PISSED about the Yankees and Dodgers being made to look like chumps and dedicated to not acknowledging the Jays in anything

A Box-Toppers look at Manager of the Year results Internet baseball writers of @ibwaa.bsky.social choose AL—John Schneider #BlueJays, team had 111.7 B-T points in 2025, 5th among AL teams. NL—Pat Murphy #Brewers, team had 112.6 B-T points, 5th among NL teams. www.box-toppers.com/blog/2025/11...

Hi, Baseball Mom here. Trophies don't mean everything...but if you have a minute to get some construction paper out and make John Schneider a nice card, I think he'd appreciate it.

John Schneider is MY Manager of the Year 🏆 #BlueJays

I'd expected John Schneider to win AL Manager of the Year and that would have been fully deserved. Regardless, the #BlueJays have their franchise manager in Schneider. Young players have "jump years". Schneider, as a young manager, just had his.

Sooooo the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted for the manager of the team with two pitchers who have been indicted for cheating and illegal gambling over John Schneider, manager of the comeback team of 2025 with the best overall record? Um, yeah, okay. 🖕🤨🖕

WTAF #MLB. How does John Schneider who took a team that was dead last just last year to the World Series not win AL Manager of the Year !!! Please explain this and make it make sense !!! #TorontoBluejays #Bluejays #MLB #Baseball #JohnSchneider www.mlb.com/news/2025-ma...

How did John Schneider not win manager of the year!? Ugh. #BlueJays

you know who won’t be managing the AL All-stars because his team wasn’t in the World Series? Vogt. But John Schneider will be.

I mean, all John Schneider did was engineer a 20 game turnaround and clinch a division that’s still one of the toughest in baseball.

The writers chose Stephen Vogt. The people chose John Schneider. #BlueJays

#Bluejays skipper John Schneider does not win AL Manager of the Year. Instead, it's Stephen Vogt of Cleveland. I mean, mazel tov to him for #Guardians coming back from 15.5 games back, helped massively by a #Tigers collapse, but worst to first. Vogt got 17 1st-place votes, Schneider 10.

Ernie Clement's Game: Heart AND Hustle! Voting is now open: bit.ly/493H8dJ

A few days late on this one, but I’ve been meaning to draw Ernie Clement’s Game 7 slide ever since it happened…

So we’re all ready to admit that Shohei Ohtani was the one doing the betting and his translator was just the scapegoat so the Dodgers didn’t lose their magic weapon, right? #MLB

That time a batter on the [world champion] LA Dodgers swung at Emmanuel Clase's intentionally low ball and cost Clase and "Bettor-1" money

👀

More from Passan: “The 23-page indictment against Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz lays out the alleged scheme for the pitchers to intentionally throw balls so bettors could wager on pitches to be balls or strikes. It started, prosecutors say, as early as May 2023 with Clase and later included Ortiz.”
