It’s Time to Stop Comparing the Old Front Office to the New One

by Nick Dika November 14, 2017

Not that we shouldn’t have stopped comparing already, but fans’ relationship with the Blue Jays’ front office has been fractured since Alex Anthopoulos left two seasons ago. Yesterday, Anthopoulos was introduced as the next general manager of the Atlanta Braves. Anthopoulos, as fans well know, was the architect behind the majority of the current Blue Jays’ […]

A Blistering (And Hopeful) Comparison for Aaron Sanchez

by Dave Church November 13, 2017

There are a lot of reasons the 2017 Blue Jays weren’t as good as everyone hoped. An underachieving offense, injuries, regression from veterans, and players underachieving all contributed to a team that was in last place for all but the final day of the season. While some of that could have been anticipated, some of […]

It’s Time for the Blue Jays to Trade Kevin Pillar

by Gideon Turk November 10, 2017

I’ve written my fair share of articles on Kevin Pillar over the years, most of them praising him and looking optimistically at his future with the Blue Jays. However, this one is not going to be like the others. This one is going to advocate for the Blue Jays to trade Kevin Pillar. Everybody knows […]

Roy Halladay is the Greatest Blue Jay of All-Time

by Greg Wisniewski November 8, 2017

This is a repost from a series we did back when we were called BlueJays Plus, a Blue Jays focused blog. Each writer picked a player and argued for their case as the Greatest Blue Jay of All-Time (or GBOAT). This was Greg’s entry. On the day following his tragic death, this is a good […]

Goodbye, Roy Halladay: Baseball Legend.

by Joshua Howsam November 8, 2017

On Tuesday afternoon, baseball lost a giant, as Roy Halladay passed away following a tragic plane accident. The entire Baseball Prospectus Toronto team is passing on heartfelt condolences to Roy’s family. Unlike many modern-day fans, Roy Halladay was not a part of my childhood introduction to Blue Jays baseball. I was around for the two […]

How Great Minor League Teams Prepare for a Busy Off-Season — Part 3

by Jason Takefman November 7, 2017

As we discussed last time, the beginning of the off-season is all about setting the organization up for a strong off-season of ticket, sponsorship and suite sales. For a Minor League team to succeed on attendance thresholds and eclipse year-long budget totals, it is imperative that they insulate themselves with a large proportion of sold assets […]

The Optimist’s Guide to the 2018 Blue Jays

by Tammy Rainey November 6, 2017

Let’s face it, the commentary on the near-future of the Toronto Blue Jays among the media types is depressingly bleak. I mean, few come right out and say that winter is coming, but they expend quite a few words explaining too us how the Jays are not really a very good team and have a […]

How Real Life Baseball Started to Resemble a Video Game

by Greg Wisniewski November 2, 2017

I want to begin by stating that, first and foremost, I don’t believe baseball has a problem. Baseball has, instead, a developing situation. Although the Postseason was filled with a billion home runs, and that’s definitely unusual, it’s not just homers that make up the new state of the game. Baseball feels ‘odd’ right now. And […]

Josh Donaldson: The Next Blue Jays All-Time Great

by Richard Lee-Sam October 31, 2017

What makes an all-time great? Every so often in this city, you see a player come along and dominate, only to move on way too soon. Just last month, we got the honour of sending long time Blue Jay Jose Bautista off into the abyss, or wherever aging sluggers without bat speed go. As send-offs […]
