The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to salvage their homestand Saturday afternoon by clinching their series with the Texas Rangers. After trading reliever Yimi Garcia to the Seattle Mariners on Friday, the Blue Jays defeated the Rangers 6-5 on Ernie Clement's two-out single in the ninth in the opener of a three-game series.

This was as exciting a game as the Jays have played this season. The lead changed seven times, including a walk off with the Jays down to their last out.
The offence was tenacious all night, with no home runs but a dozen hits and four walks. The bullpen pitched 4.1 shutout innings. There were even some spectacular defensive plays.
Really the only off note was that Yusei Kikuchi struggled in what was almost certainly his final appearance as a Blue...

It’s Caribbean Carnival Night! Seems unfair to the good folks of the Caribbean to associate them with the 2024 Blue Jays, but it should be a fun night at the Dome. Hopefully those who are attending in person get a somewhat more watchable game than last night’s.
In case anyone missed it on the home page, Yimi Garcia has been traded and Zach Pop is up to take his spot in the bullpen.
Yerry Rodriguez has been called up from Buffalo, and Ryan Burr...

The Blue Jays have traded reliever Yimi Garcia to the Seattle Mariners for outfield prospect Jonatan Clase and catching prospect Jacob Sharp, per MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer.
Clase, 22, is Seattle’s 10th best prospect according to MLB pipeline. He possesses 70 grade speed and is an above average defensive centre fielder due to that and in spite of questionable reads and routes. He’s a switch hitter with above average raw power from...
The Toronto Blue Jays will take on the Texas Rangers tonight in a three-game series. The Blue Jays have had a disappointing season and with the trade deadline approaching they are likely to be sellers moving off pieces who have expiring contracts.
One of the biggest names to watch could be staying put at the MLB trade deadline next week. Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, teams around the majors "acknowledge" that…

Last night was horrible. Ernie Clement probably had the best outing on the pitching staff, which isn’t a thing I should ever have to write, and the offence could do absolutely nothing with Taj Bradley.
They clearly need a new game strategy. Maybe we should invest in some drones.
We saw our first couple of real deadline deals yesterday. First, the Diamondbacks traded for Marlins reliever A.J. Puk, sending back first baseman Deyvison De los Santos...
Left-hander Yusei Kikuchi could be making his final start for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in the opener of a three-game series against the visiting Texas Rangers.
A pitcher with a 16.20 ERA in the current month is a hard sell, even with his impressive numbers earlier in the season.

Après Bassitt, le déluge
Rays 13 at Jays 0
A very trying season reached a new low this afternoon as the Rays pounded out 16 hits with 24 reaching base compared to 5 for the Blue Jays. 18 of those came in the last four inningg against a completely ineffective bullpen as the Jays were thoroughly and embarrassingly outclassed in all respects for a 13-0 shutout.
Chris Bassitt was not overly sharp, but was serviceable in battling through 5 innings on 97...

The once promising Toronto Blue Jays, with their loaded pitching staff and talented young offensive cornerstones, appear to have hit rock bottom this season.
While the Thursday is always a bit light in MLB, there's still more than enough to parse through, especially on the afternoon slate.
We couldn't follow up our 10.3-unit day with another winner on Wednesday, so we're looking to bounce back and cash some tickets on Thursday.

Yesterday’s game was a fun one, with some encouraging signs for the future. Yariel Rodriguez turned in another strong performance. Since returning to the rotation at the beginning of this month, he’s pitched 22.1 innings across four games with a 2.01 ERA. He’s struck out over 30% of the batters he’s faced while bringing his walk rate under control, and all five of his pitches are looking effective.
Similarly, Spencer Horwitz had another good...
As the trade deadline inches closer and closer, it is clear what the Blue Jays must do. A team that entered the year with high hopes and playoff aspirations now finds itself stuck in mediocrity, if not outright failure.
