Blue Jays News

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. showcased his vintage form by driving in five runs in the Blue Jays' dominant 11-0 victory over the Guardians, a much-needed bounce-back after a dismal loss just days prior. Dylan Cease was lights out, pitching six perfect innings, further solidifying his spot as a key contributor down the stretch. The win is a bright spot as the team aims to claw back from their disappointing 68-71 record. Meanwhile, the recent trade for José Rodríguez adds depth to the minor leagues, signaling a focus on the future as September call-ups like Ricky Tiedemann and Sean Keys prepare to audition for bigger roles. The ghosts of past achievements, like Dave Stieb's no-hitter, linger as the Jays attempt to revitalize their season.

His first attempt came in 1985 against the Chicago White…

Blue Jays Acquire José Rodríguez From Dodgers
The Dodgers announced that they have traded right-hander José Rodríguez to the Blue Jays in exchange for fellow righty Sebastian Rodriguez. Both pitchers are minor leaguers. Though the trade deadline passed a month ago, trades of minor leaguers are still allowed. Of the two Rodriguezes, the 25-year-old Jose is far closer to the majors. An […]

Could this swing mark the return of vintage Vladdy?
CLEVELAND -- Months ago, in the early days of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s season-long struggles, he said he wouldn’t feel like he’s truly “back” until he could stand at home plate and watch his own home run fly. Only then could he really feel it.
