Coming into 2025, the Blue Jays looked like they needed a big infusion of talent to compete. They arguably got one in the offseason, but their winter additions have fallen well short of expectations. Internal growth has them in a good spot anyway: sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/wh…

This week Nick Ashbourne and I talk all about the many moving parts—like Swanson, Francis, Scherzer, Santander, Manoah, and more—that are shaping the Jays' roster as the season progresses (Plus relitigating the Teo trade, naturally.) Have a listen! 👇

At the dome this fine afternoon, doing the Sportsnet 590 The FAN pregame show with Shoaib Alli from 2-3. We're talking about a squad coming off a dreary loss, looking to avoid the indignity of losing a home series to the White Sox.

After a powerless start to the season, Bo Bichette has now hit 11 home runs since May 3. Only 10 players have more. The power stroke that went missing during his nightmare 2024 is back.

In the first four years of Alejandro Kirk's career, he threw out less than one-fifth of runners (19.9%). Since the beginning of 2024, he's up to 31.0%. This is the biggest play on a quiet afternoon so far for the Blue Jays.

Jeff Hoffman hurt himself badly with an error in the ugly inning, but his inability to put the White Sox away was also critical. 11 of his 21 pitches came with 2 strikes, and most were uncompetitive or hittable in the zone.

Bo Bichette is arguably the best clutch hitter in the majors this season, and evidence is starting to mount that he has a special knack for delivering in big spots: sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/an…

It was fitting that Nick Ashbourne was worried about a nearby drill affecting his audio quality (it didn't!) this week, because a certain drilling was one of our main topics! PLUS: Good vibes, Piña Power, reliever confidence ratings, and a whole lot more! Have a listen... 👇

This sweep is important from a competitive standpoint, but it also feels like a moment that could get some folks to jump on the bandwagon. For the first time since 2022, Toronto has a fun baseball team.
