This is the exact type of deal the #BlueJays needed in their rotation. Kevin Gausman and Shane Bieber are free agents after 2026 while José Berríos has a player option. Now, in Cease and Trey Yesavage, two new long-term cornerstones. A massive statement by Toronto.

Dylan Cease and the Blue Jays are in agreement on a 7-year, $210 million contract pending physical, source confirms to me & Shi Biggest pitching contract in Blue Jays history leads to projected rotation of Cease/Gausman/Bieber/Berrios/Yesavage @jonheyman.bsky.social was first

Congrats to the one team not worried about messing with everyone's holiday evening

Cease has 5 straight 200 strikeout seasons. No one else has more than 3 in that time.

IT’S 4-2 TORONTO AND THIS PLACE IS GOING CRAZY OH BABY FOR SURE

Vlad Guerrero Jr. continues making a big defensive impact on Game 7

Defence! Defence! Defence!

SIX. OUTS.

Superstar defensive play

Everything is high leverage now

Tight, tight game. Worthy of a Game 7

NINE. OUTS.

Mad Max, man.

Scherzer gave them what he had

Louis Varland is now the MLB record-holder for most postseason appearances in one year with 15. Brandon Morrow history erasure

Seranthony Dominguez now up in the Blue Jays' bullpen

Jays need to be real careful with Scherzer here

Ohtani intentionally walking Vlad. How the turntables.

Don't gotta run if you clear 'em all!!

Second deck, too. Vladdy might have loved that more than anyone here.

Bo Bichette just hit a three-run shot off the Flight Deck in centre field. 442 feet. A career-defining moment for Bichette. Wow. Shohei Ohtani is walking off the mound. #BlueJays up, 3-0.

Thank you Bichette. You chose wisely.

HOME RUN BLUE JAYS A THREE RUN BLAST BY BO BEDLAM AT THE DOME IT’S 3-0 TORONTO

GAME 7 ⚾️ 🇨🇦 STARTS NOW This is it folks. Good evening sports fans. The World Series ends in Toronto tonight. What a night ahead. Jays vs Dodgers one last time. ROLLLLL CALLLLLL — where are you watching and cheering from tonight?

Well it's all coming down to game 7 such a great World Series it can go either way...I still am hoping for my Jay's after 32 yrs ...I hope its their year ⚾️

I have no words. To be able to share this with my sons is incredible.

Kevin Gausman is turning the Dodgers inside out with his splitter. I've seen the pitch "on" many times over the years, but I've never seen it look like this. #BlueJays

Nothing quite like a peak Toronto sports crowd

Kevin Gausman, starting like an ace

ALL GAUS, no brakes with it

Blue Jays fans continue to arrive at the Rogers Centre and what an atmosphere already. The Jays won both their 1992 and 1993 World Series titles in six games. Game 6 awaits. With the Jays leading the Dodgers 3-2.

TWO HOURS AWAY ⚾️ The energy is building outside of Rogers Centre as we count down to Game 6 here in Toronto. A spectacular sunset on a Friday Halloween night. What a night it’s shaping up to be.

With all due respect to the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball organization, any opportunity for the Canadians to dunk on America is fine by me.

Bo Bichette asked about his future once again: "I'm trying to win World Series. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about that at some point during the season, but I've got a World Series to win."

update: waiting in line, strangers providing snacks, hidden gem in the background

Bo Bichette says he’s not anticipating needing off-season surgery on his knee.

Walking around downtown Toronto and popping into stores and cafes along the way just to feel the energy of the city ahead of tonight’s game. So many lovely chats. What a vibe. Community. General consensus so far is that it ends tonight. But that it’ll be far from easy.

Springer is back tonight

Good morning. The Toronto Blue Jays can win the World Series tonight.

In this house, we are Halloween and World Series ready.

ONE. WIN. AWAY. The Blue Jays take Game 5 in L.A. and head back to Toronto with the chance to claim their first World Series title since 1993.

Last summer, Trey Yesavage was still pitching in college. Tonight, he pitched seven innings of one-run, three-hit ball on the road at Dodger Stadium in Game 5 of the World Series. He becomes the first pitcher ever to strike out 12 and walk zero in a World Series game.

🗣️‼️‼️LETS GOOOOOOOO ‼️‼️🗣️ OMG Blue Jays with back to back home run in 3 pitches. Vladdy goes deep with a bomb 💣 to make 2-0 Blue Jays. UNBELIEVABLE 🤯 2-0 Blue Jays. #bluejays | #mlb | #postseason

Trey Yesavage on his season to date: “It’s a crazy world. Hollywood couldn’t have made it this good.”

Davis Schneider said George Springer told him to always prepare for a fastball leading off the game. League-wide data backs this up pretty well. Davis also said his dad's glasses are dumb.

Trey Yesavage: “It’s a crazy world. It’s a crazy world. Hollywood couldn’t make it this good.”

TREY YESAVAGE 12 strikeouts No walks That’s the most strikeouts by a pitcher in a World Series game with no walks

What Trey Yesavage did tonight is one of the most important pitching performances in #BlueJays history. A masterclass from a rookie in Game 5 of the World Series. We might be talking about it forever in Toronto.
