@craigbedford Good point! They would've shot themselves in the foot in the Scherzer negotiations had the Yesavage news went public.

@BlueJayHunter If they were considering signing a free agent pitcher they didn't want agents knowing they had the need. Gives the free agent and their agent more leverage.

It wasn't quite "It's not a lie if we know the truth," but did anyone else find it odd the Blue Jays weren't forthcoming about Trey Yesavage's injury? bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-b…

What goes up, must come down? The most likely regression candidates on the Blue Jays' roster this season. bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-b…

Jose Berrios is scheduled to visit with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday to further examine his right elbow inflammation. He won't throw until he returns. #BlueJays trying to be extra cautious and ensure it's nothing more severe.

Just 10 games left in spring training, and with this new Berrios development and the slow build-up of Yesavage, looks like the Jays could roll out a rotation of Cease, Gausman, Scherzer, Ponce and Lauer to start.

If the Blue Jays want any chance at defending the AL pennant this year, they need bounce-back seasons from these 5 crucial players. bluejaysnation.com/news/toronto-b…

Thomas has a great breakdown in this piece about Dylan Cease's new delivery tweak. Cease takes a peek down the third base line (which looks a bit odd), but this helps his timing.

@JaysAway Whoops, my math was slightly off. Guess that's why I dropped grade 11 calculus!

@BlueJayHunter They beat the US? And 2006 or 2016?

10 years after Canada upset the USA in pool play in the World Baseball Classic, Canada moves on to the quarter final for the first time. It felt like it might never get better for Canada than that win over USA in 2006, but this WBC performance set a new benchmark for Canada.

Man, it's been 20 years since that Canada win over US, not 10 years. Decades fly by, I guess!

If you haven't listened/watched this interview already, highly recommend @Gate14Pod's chat with Dylan Cease. Apparently he's a big Canadian oyster and Nic Cage fan ... who knew? youtube.com/watch?v=CITPv0…

And now the design is out for the Addison Barger t-shirt giveaway day on April 11th.

This is running away with the best giveaway of the 2026 schedule so far.

Get ready for Mad Max: Beyond SkyDome Part 2.

He's back! Max Scherzer sighting in Blue Jays camp today. Official announcement not expected until tomorrow

Eric Lauer wants to start. The Blue Jays have a surplus of starting pitchers. Does that mean the Jays should entertain trading their only lefty starter? bluejaysnation.com/news/should-to…

Missed this from last week, but Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an amazing quote about his gameplan last postseason. "In the playoffs, I know they're going to pitch around me. I just tried to pick a zone, and if you come in that zone, I'm raking." Via @MLBNetwork

@trentlpare One of the starters? If everybody's healthy after spring training, maybe Eric Lauer?

After running 4-man rotations at points over the last few years, the Blue Jays have learned it's better to have depth than to be caught without it. Welcome back, Mad Max.

Max Scherzer's eight-year-old daughter wrote a letter to the Blue Jays in December saying she hopes her dad is back on the team in 2026

ICYMI - With Bieber slowing working back and Yesavage not getting back into action until next week, the Blue Jays' interest in Mad Max suddenly makes a little more sense. bluejaysnation.com/news/max-scher…
