From 'MLB Tonight: The Insiders' on MLB Network, thoughts on Bo Bichette and the #BlueJays as the offseason begins... Plus: Chris Bassitt, John Schneider, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the importance of working one year ahead. Full clip: www.mlb.com/video/keegan...

I'm excited to be joining MLB Network's new weekly show, 'MLB Tonight: The Insiders' Debuting tonight at 7pm ET. Baseball: It's so hot right now. frontofficesports.com/newsletter/t...

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...

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.”

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

“Just felt like the right time.” Our Elizabeth Muratore spoke with Don Mattingly today in New York about his decision to move on from the #BlueJays: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Mark Shapiro keeps coming back to the “toughness and togetherness” of the #BlueJays, which they want to build on. “… They’re not analytical. They have to do with parts of the game that are still beautiful, because they have to do with makeup, character, chemistry, culture.”

Mark Shapiro says that his own contract was “put on hold during the postseason run” to avoid being distraction, but he adds: “I think we’ll likely work something out soon.” #BlueJays

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.”

We’ll hear from Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins at the #BlueJays’ end-of-season media availabilities today, beginning at 1pm ET.

Mark you calendars: The #BlueJays' Golden Grapefruit title defence begins Saturday, February 21st, in Dunedin. A new sun will rise, golden and ruby red.

An early, unexpected offseason win for the #BlueJays: Shane Bieber has opted in. Full story on the news from last night: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

The best way to look at Bo Bichette's free agency is that the #BlueJays hold a potential tiebreaker. There will be mutual interest. If another team offers an identical deal, Bichette's desire to play in Toronto with Vladdy likely wins. Beyond that, it's free agency. Money wins.

Now a finalist for the AL Manager of the Year Award, John Schneider has shown an ability to grow and develop in his position. Story on what he's meant to the #BlueJays: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Baseball isn’t going to wait around for the Blue Jays. Suddenly, even harshly, the MLB offseason is about to begin. Story on the new standard in Toronto and the big deicisions facing the #BlueJays: www.mlb.com/news/blue-ja...

From Day 1 to Game 7. Lots of flights, lots of nights and a book released in the middle of it all. I’ll always remember covering the 2025 #BlueJays. My life in Toronto is made possible because a lot of people give a damn about this baseball team. Thank you. 🥃

Bo Bichette wants to be here. He’s always wanted to be here. Now, so cruelly and quickly, reality has arrived for one of the longtime faces of the #BlueJays: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

No one wanted to go home. Not yet. One last time, on the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

Chris Bassitt, fighting through tears, says he hopes that he gets another chance with this group. “I love these guys … it’s hard to replicate true love. You can try to replicate this. A lot of people will try, but it’s not really possible.” #BlueJays

Bo Bichette on his future: “I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning.” #BlueJays

Ernie Clement: “I’ve been crying for an hour. I thought I was done with the tears. I just love these guys so much. It was so fun coming to work every day.” #BlueJays

John Schneider called this “an epic World Series”. “At the end of the day, players can become legends or they can be this close. We were this close.” #BlueJays

An emotional John Schneider: “I just had my first team meeting.” He’s speaking of his pride in this team and the new standard that has been set for the #BlueJays.

It’s over. The #BlueJays have lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Dodgers, 5-4, in 11 innings. This dream season, in which this team captured the hearts and imaginations of Canadians like we haven’t seen since 1993, ends in unbelievable heartbreak.

Will Smith just took Shane Bieber deep! The #BlueJays, suddenly down 5-4 in the 11th, are fighting for their lives. Due up in the bottom half: Guerrero, Kiner-Falefa, Barger.

By an inch, Domínguez’s foot beat Hernández’s to the bag. Wow. The #BlueJays have a shot to walk off the World Series in the bottom of the 10th. If they don’t, the top of LA’s lineup is due.

The Dodgers are brining in Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who started last night's game, to pitch in the bottom of the 9th with one out. What a scene at Rogers Centre. Alejandro Kirk, and potentially Ernie Clement, have the chance to walk off the World Series for the #BlueJays

Oh my god, the Dodgers have tied it. Rojas to left field, solo shot. It's 4-4 in the 9th. #BlueJays

Ernie Clement now owns the all-time MLB record for most hits in a single postseason, with 30. "Ernie! Ernie! Ernie!" rains down as the Dodgers make a pitching change. The #BlueJays' breakout star of the 2025 World Series run.

The #BlueJays are three outs away from winning the World Series... and Jeff Hoffman will need to go through Shohei Ohtani. This is as good at baseball gets.

Trey Yesavage is in to pitch the seventh inning for the #BlueJays, up 4-2 in Game 7 of the World Series. What a season... and what a moment now.

Ernie Clement has paid for a beer for the last time. #BlueJays

Trey Yesavage is up in the #BlueJays' bullpen.

Bo Bichette has his career-defining moment with the #BlueJays. Will it be enough to lift them to their first World Series since 1993? www.mlb.com/news/bo-bich...

The benches have cleared in Game 7 of the World Series! Andrés Giménez was finally hit by a pitch after taking a couple up and in, then had words for Wrobleski. What a scene. Jeff Hoffman is going after someone now, too, and had to be pulled away. #BlueJays

The most important defensive play of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s life gets the #BlueJays out of an inning that could have been much, much worse. The bullpen door needs to swing open for the 5th.

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.

Ohtani doesn't look sharp at all. His breaking pitches are hopeless early on and all he has is the fastball. #BlueJays need to make this happen early.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. rolled up for Game 7 in a game-worn jersey from Canadian hockey icon Marie-Philip Poulin. Another instalment in my series as MLB•com's hockey correspondent: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

John Schneider on Max Scherzer ahead of Game 7: “I was walking to get some food a while after the game [last night]. He was walking past me and it looked like he wanted to kill somebody already.” #BlueJays

John Schneider tells us that just before the #BlueJays took the field for Game 6 last night, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. told the team: “If you’re nervous tonight, look at me.”

Welcome to the final episode of Baseball. #BlueJays - Dodgers Game 7 8pm ET

The amount of focus and coverage on the wedged ball instead of the final play of Game 6 still doesn’t make sense to me the day after, but these things shouldn’t surprise me and really, none of it matters now. It’s what the #BlueJays need to avoid in Game 7: free outs & mistakes.

264 days ago, I landed in Dunedin for #BlueJays Spring Training. It all ends tonight in Game 7 of the World Series. They are legally not allowed to play more baseball after today. They won’t let them.

World Series, Game 7. Nothing else matters now. This one game is all that will ever matter. My story ahead of one of the biggest nights in #BlueJays history: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

What had the potential for a World Series walk-off ended in a mess. My story on how the 9th inning got away from the #BlueJays: www.mlb.com/bluejays/new...

For the stuck ball in the outfield wall, everyone from John Schneider to Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger and others say they haven’t seen that at Rogers Centre. #BlueJays

Addison Barger called it a “bad read” as he was trying to be aggressive off the bag. Off the bat, he’d expected the ball to get over the shortstop, but have a shot at falling short of the centre-fielder. #BlueJays

#BlueJays manager John Schneider: “It’s Game 7 of the World Series at your home stadium. What the hell else could you want?”
