The Toronto Blue Jays are sitting back and watching their two division rivals go at it in the Wild Card round, with the winner heading up north to the Rogers Centre this upcoming weekend. The Boston Red Sox opened the series with a 3-1 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night in the Bronx.
Rogers, proud owner of the Toronto Blue Jays, announced Thursday it is giving away 500 free tickets for fans to take over a section for every Blue Jays home game at Rogers Centre throughout the MLB Postseason.
Ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays' ALDS opener in a few days, SP Chris Bassitt struck out slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a gnarly curveball.
That production was enough to have Springer ranked at No. 10 on the ESPN Player Rater. That put him ahead of Seattle Mariners superstar center fielder Julio Rodriguez. The only outfielders who finished ahead of the Blue Jays veteran were Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Juan Soto of the New York Mets.
With free agency around the corner, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is well aware that his days playing alongside All-Star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. might be numbered — though that won’t stop Bichette from going down without a fight.
This season, Bichette slashed .311/.357/.483/.840 with 18 homers and 94 RBI in 139 games played. Adames, his contract comparison, slashed .225/.318/.421/.740 with 30 homers and 87 RBI over 160 games.
At the trade deadline, Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins acquired right-handed pitcher Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians to bolster the Blue Jays' rotation. It was seen as a gamble as Bieber had not thrown a pitch in an MLB game in 2025.
