On the one hand, my gut tells me the #BlueJays are done with big moves. On the other hand, I struggle to believe that they would enter 2026 with an objectively worse offense (albeit slightly) than they had at the end of 2025, even with the improved pitching.

Admittedly, of the four at the top, Cease was probably the SP I wanted the least because of all of the reasons that the media and influencers have pointed out ad nauseum since the signing, but the fact is that they needed someone, and he absolutely raises their ceiling

Ross, please.

Tatsuya Imai brought the "I come to bury Ohtani, not to praise him," vibes in an interview with Daisuke Matsuzaka last night. The Seibu Lions ace doesn't want to join the Dodgers, he wants to beat them. Thanks to Ayako Oikawa for help translating: www.mlb.com/news/tatsuya...

It was insane to me that Rhea Seehorn never got an Emmy for Kim Wexler, so I'm thrilled she's going to get one for Carol Sturka

I think #BlueJays and #Dodgers can all agree that the strike zone calls have been absolutely brutal on both sides this entire series

I also don't think you pitch to Ohtani again for the remainder of the series. They proved over more than a game's worth of innings last night that that's a viable strategy. Whether it's all IBB or just pitches out of the zone, don't give him a chance.

#BlueJays need to change something to reinvigorate their lineup. Assuming Springer is out, I'd like to see: 3B Clement RF Barger 1B Guerrero, Jr. DH Bichette CF Varsho C Kirk LF Schneider 2B Kiner-Falefa SS Gimenez

This is 2024 level #BlueJays baserunning. Absolutely insane. How do you make the out at home in extras with Vladdy on deck?

I probably would have kept Bichette at SS simply for the familiarity, but honestly, I think infield defense in this series matters less in this series than it did in the ALCS. The Dodgers are overwhelmingly fly ball heavy, and outfield defense is going to be way more important.

Put up time. Bieber matches up favourably vs Rodon. Bieber also has significantly better splits against lefties, which should serve him well in Yankee Stadium. VGJ has crushed Rodon in his career; I can't imagine he gets anything to hit tonight. End it today. Go #BlueJays

The #BlueJays entered this postseason with exactly two players with an OPS north of .800 in the playoffs: Springer and Kirk. They now have 7: the above, plus Vladdy, Varsho, Schneider, Lukes and Clement.

Reminder that the #BlueJays are doing this without Bo Bichette on their roster. And did it today with Barger and Santander on the bench.

Fried = excellent Fried = beatable Outlast him with good at bats, get back into that pen. Don't give the Yankees a chance to advance in their home park. #BlueJays

I went 1/4 in my WC predictions so take these with a grain of salt: MIL over CHC PHI over LAD SEA over DET ??? over ??? I will not publicize my NYY @ TOR prediction simply for karma reasons. Let's go #BlueJays! #WantItAll

Watching this #Guardians and #Tigers game, I am reminded that my one hope for the #BlueJays is that they play the same brand of fundamentally sound baseball that they have been playing all year, and to avoid little brain farts and mistakes that can ruin games

There's something poetic about the #BlueJays, who led the league in comeback wins, going into a must win 4 of 6 situation this week, losing the first two games, and then winning the final four. The Toronto Blue Jays are a first place team.

My updated #BlueJays wishlist: Top-of-the-market bat (Teoscar/Bregman etc) Second-tier pitcher (Flaherty etc) Like, four more relievers (Hoffman, Estevez, Turnbull, Finnegan, Junis, Sewald, Jansen, Martin etc)

#BlueJays getting Gimenez is similar to when they got IKF last year, except better and at a more appropriate position. And IKF worked out well for them. It all comes down to the return, though...

I dunno, there will be only one team that signs Soto and I still think it's the #Mets, but the fact that I've heard next to nothing about where the #BlueJays stand is unusual and oddly hopeful
