It's been a busy few hours in the baseball world, to say the least. With that, I penned some analysis pieces for Sportsnet. First up, here's a breakdown of what the Kyle Tucker signing means to the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

My latest piece — covering the introductory press conference of Blue Jays utility man Kazuma Okamoto: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"I want to win baseball games. I want to win the World Series." Media got our first chance to speak with new Blue Jays right-hander Cody Ponce tonight and learned about his Star Wars obsession, his famous brother-in-law's influence and plenty more: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"He's certainly put himself among the top group of managers in the game.” On Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider, whose team-option was picked up for 2026 and is currently in talks for a longer-term deal: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Spent some time this morning with @citynewstoronto.bsky.social reflecting on the World Series and the wild ride of the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays. Check out the video here: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2025/1...

There’ll be talk of Bichette’s free agency. “I want to be here,” he said, w/ Guerrero Jr. adding, “I’d love to finish my career playing with him but it's free agency, so he's got to do what he's got to do.” Whatever happens, though, they both stepped up: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Ernie Clement: “No matter how tonight goes, this is the most fun I've ever had playing baseball. It's the tightest group I've ever been a part of. “You get to play with 30 of your best friends, and I don't think that happens every year.”

Max Scherzer to Tyler Heineman during Game 6: "'I'm in this situation right now where I can't ride the wave, the roller coaster of if we win today. I'm preparing like there is tomorrow, no matter what.' "He didn't want to turn off the intensity." www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

“He started Game 7 of the World Series before. We don't have anybody who can say that.” Story on Max Scherzer, with thoughts from an upbeat Blue Jays’ clubhouse as well as former catcher Kurt Suzuki — who was Scherzer’s teammate with the Nats in that G7: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Trey Yesavage tells @bydavidsingh.bsky.social & media there’s zero question about it, he’s available out of the bullpen for Game 7 of the World Series tomorrow.

“Some guys mentally are just built different.” “He’s real.” “When he’s on, he's going to make anybody in the game look stupid.” My story from the game of Trey Yesavage’s life: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"You just got to stand back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show." "Right now, mechanically, he's really good. But mentally, this is the best I've seen him." On Post-season Vlad and his triumph over Ohtani. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

“Another one in the history books for Shohei.” “No one's touching that. He still shocks people.” On Ohtani’s record-setting brilliance last night and how it could extend into Game 4: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

From Dodger Stadium — here's a look at the status of Bo Bichette and a peek into the added dose of "gamesmanship" that the Blue Jays and Dodgers will contend with over the next three days:  www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

As Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the World Series tonight, here's an inside look back at his previous start. For many reasons, it was an epic outing that had all his teammates eager to dicuss: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

We saw why Mookie Betts is an elite shortstop during Game 2 of the World Series. Turns out Blue Jays' infield instructor Carlos Febles played a massive role in shaping the defensive side of Betts' game. Here's a closer look in a piece I wrote last year: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Beautiful stadium

Somehow Blue Jays Happy Hour is on episode 200! (And the Jays are in the World Series I guess)

“When you win a World Series, there's enough of the pie to go around for everybody. And 32 years later, I'm still enjoying a piece of that pie here in Toronto.” On legacy, Joe Carter’s appearance at Game 2, and how it connects to the 2025 Blue Jays: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Joe Carter on how the lives of current Blue Jays’ players might change: “Well, they won't be able to go too many places, that's for sure.”

"This is a tough ask: 'Hey, go play a position you haven't played all year. It's Game 1 of the World Series. Go do it.' "He did it." On the return of Blue Jays' star Bo Bichette: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Different kind of assignment today 🇨🇦 ⚾️

After Sunday's dominant performance, Blue Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman said he'll be ready for Game 7 and expects the same of his teammates: "If you're not, I don't know if you have a pulse. I'm pretty sure everybody will be fighting to get on the field." www.sportsnet.ca/article/hoff...

Jeff Hoffman entered Game 6 in the 8th to face the heart of the Mariners’ lineup — Cal Raleigh, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor. It was the exact same pocket of hitters who were due up in the fateful 8th of Game 5, when the Blue Jays' closer wasn't used. www.sportsnet.ca/article/hoff...

“It’s bullshit.” www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"I never saw him in the dugout. We stay far away from him. He's terrifying during the game." "I was not even close to the mound. I saw Max’s reaction and I was like, 'I better stay here.'" "He was pretty much foaming at the mouth." www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"That's the tale of Max Scherzer. And I'm just honestly grateful that I was able to experience it first-hand." After Mad Max's instant-classic performance, seemingly everybody in the Blue Jays' clubhouse was eager to discuss what they'd just witnessed: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Aaron Judge on the Yankees’ ALDS matchup with the Blue Jays: “They're a complete team. They don't strike out a lot. So they're gonna put the ball in play. They're gonna force your hand on defence. We're looking forward to that. Toronto is going to be rocking. We love that.”

The Yankees using Shook Ones, Part II as the soundtrack for their baseline introductions is a great use of the instrumental
