Minor League Update: What’s Next Edition

by Tammy Rainey August 29, 2018

As of this writing, the complex league teams are already done, Bluefield has but one more (regular season) game, and the rest of the affiliates have at most a week’s worth of regular season play. The good news is that three teams are postseason bound and another is in serious contention. Likewise, beginning Saturday major […]

Sean Reid-Foley Will Keep Competing

by Mike Passador August 23, 2018

NEW YORK – Sean Reid-Foley is part of the youth movement that’s giving Blue Jays fans a reason to tune in down the stretch of a disappointing season. He’s one of the team’s best pitching prospects, and he has arrived appropriately adorned with a blue jay tattoo on his right forearm. (There’s also a cardinal, […]

by Sean Addis August 22, 2018

Devon Travis Staying Healthy Amidst Ups and Downs

by Mike Passador August 21, 2018

NEW YORK — Not much has gone right for the Blue Jays this season. They’ve gotten precious little from their supposed best players which is a real twisting of the knife given that the team spent its offseason putting together some quality depth. As good as those depth players may be, they just can’t replace top-level […]

Aaron Loup Probably Deserved Better

by Mike Passador August 17, 2018

On July 31, the Blue Jays traded Aaron Loup to the Phillies for Jacob Waguespack. A simple breakdown of the deal would tell you that Waguespack is a 24-year-old right-handed pitcher with impressive strikeout numbers in the minors.

Going Streaking: The Hottest and Coldest Blue Jays of 2018

by Nick Dika August 16, 2018

It’s been a tough year for Blue Jays’ fans. It has also been a turbulent one. In addition to the team’s struggles, many of the Jays’ chief contributors have been incredibly streaky in their performances.

by Tammy Rainey August 15, 2018
