Toronto Blue Jays

In what has been an incredibly disappointing season from start to finish, the Blue Jays just got some concerning injury news about one of their franchise cornerstones. Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that closer Jordan Romano has been shut down for the season after making just 15 appearances before being placed on the injured list due to elbow inflammation in May. Romano had been throwing in Florida to try and return to the Blue Jays this season, but “ran out of time” according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Schneider laid out the the rest of Romano's rehab plan in order to make sure he is ready for Spring Training in 2025.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette is inching closer to a return from injury. The plan is for the 26-year-old to join the AAA Buffalo Bisons next week, per Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. He will then get a chance to get back to full speed before rejoining the Blue Jays after a handful of games. Prior to his injury, he was having a tough season, hitting just .222 and recording only four home runs through 80 games. The Blue Jays' season has not gone as planned, and the team doesn't have much left to play for.

It took longer than he would have liked, but Matt Chapman finally struck it rich and signed the long-term contract he had been seeking for the better part of a year. The third baseman decided to forego free agency this off-season by signing a six-year extension worth $151 million (U.S.) with the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The deal will pay the four-time Gold Glove winner $25 million annually through 2030 and includes a $1-million signing bonus. Facing a shortage of suitors following a down season, he settled for a three-year deal with the Giants for $54 million with an opt-out clause after 2024.

The Blue Jays are playing much more entertaining baseball lately with the influx of youth around the trade deadline, and we catch up with one of the youngsters, Leo Jimenez, who has seamlessly fit into the middle infield after the injury to Bo Bichette and the trade of Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Ryan Yarbrough, the only veteran added at the deadline, talks about going from being a thorn in the Jays' side to wearing their uniform, and we introduce you to a pair young up-and-comers who were already in the Jays' system when the deadline dealing began – shortstop Josh Kasevich and outfielder Alan Roden started last season in A-ball in Vancouver and are now knocking on the door of the major leagues in Buffalo.

One of the Boston Red Sox's biggest rivals will have a very difficult decision to make this upcoming offseason. The Toronto Blue Jays are at a crossroads.

It was a night for records at Target Field on Saturday, just not the records the Twins would have liked to set. That’s what happens when you lose a game by 15 runs. Will Wagner had five hits, with a homer, double, two RBIs and three runs scored to become the first Blue Jays rookie to record five hits in a game, and Toronto’s 15-0 win tied the franchise record for a shutout win in front of ...

It was around 11 months ago when Pablo López and Kevin Gausman tangled the last time at Target Field. Twins fans likely remember that game fondly: López outpitched Gausman, who allowed two home runs to Royce Lewis, in a 3-1 Twins victory that snapped an 18-game playoff losing streak.
