Good place to be. A W by 2 last night. The most recent result always counts most. Pulling the other way, a 10-man IL is starting to matter.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays snapped a three-game losing streak with a solid 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, thanks to Dylan Cease's impressive outing, where he allowed just one run over six innings while striking out seven. This win keeps the Jays within striking distance of a Wild Card spot, now just 4.5 games back despite their disappointing 50-59 record. However, the reality of their situation looms large as trade rumors swirl, with Kevin Gausman expressing a desire to contend, the front office may need to consider moving rental players as the deadline approaches. As the Blue Jays navigate these choppy waters, John Schneider remains focused on the day-to-day, even as fans wonder about potential trades that could reshape the roster. With Vlad Guerrero Jr. back in the lineup, hope may flicker, but a deep dive into the standings reveals a steep climb ahead.

Blue Jays Minor League Musings: Blaine Bullard and Hedbert Perez’ three-hit game, Ismael Munguia on a tear
While no player in the Toronto Blue Jays organization had a multi-home run game on Thursday, there were still some standout performances. The best of the bunch was Hedbert Perez for the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats. They lost 10-5, but Perez went 3-3 with a walk. A Rule 5 pick in the minor league…

Blue Jays Expected To Move Rentals, Open To Adding Players Controlled Beyond 2026
The Blue Jays took a 3-1 series opener over the Cardinals tonight. That combined with another Cleveland loss moved them within 4.5 games of the AL’s final Wild Card spot. They’d need to surpass six teams and are still eight games under .500, however, so a deadline sale seems prudent. That’s likely to be the […]

Schneider remains focused on managerial duties, not potential deals
TORONTO -- John Schneider does not have the luxury of daydreaming about the Trade Deadline. That’s for all of us to do. Sure, the Blue Jays’ manager is part of these big-picture talks with general manager Ross Atkins and the front office, but once he walks out of that office,
