The Toronto Blue Jays are betting big on themselves come 2023. Bringing in three new position players into their everyday lineup, Toronto opted for a fairly massive roster overhaul after a disappointing end to the 2022 season that saw them crash out of the playoffs with a Wild Card series sweep loss against the Seattle Mariners. While names like…

The 2020 Miami Marlins were easily Major League Baseball's surprise team. Now it's time to see how they follow it up. After losing 105 games and finishing last in the National League East in 2019, Miami turned the corner in Year Three of the rebuild in a shortened 60-game season by going 31-29. Extrapolated to a 162-game season, that translates to…

A bounce-back from the depths of rebuild purgatory should start in 2020 for the Toronto Blue Jays, who firmly believe the arrow on their trajectory is pointed up after three years of struggle, torment and pain. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Danny Jansen, among others, were all integrated during a…

Well done, Houston. Now, can you become the first back-to-back champion in more than two decades? An awful lot will change before Major League…

TORONTO - It is the privilege and bane of MLB closers that, when the most meaningful moments and fate-changing postseason events occur, they're the ones with the ball in their hand. They begin the chain of events that are remembered forever. They wear the glory or the heartbreak. And so, as the final four Seattle Mariners crossed home Saturday,…

Just one season ago, the Atlanta Braves proved how important a team's bullpen can be in today's MLB during their World Series run. Postseason games can be won or lost by arms coming out of the back-end of the'pen and this year 11 of the 12 teams playing for the title finished the regular season with the top-14 bullpens by ERA. While some starters…

The Toronto Blue Jays will host a playoff game Friday for the first time since 2016.

Seattle will bring a hungry, talented club to town, while the Blue Jays hope they can convert their…

TORONTO - Yes, Aaron Judge was still chasing Roger Maris. But the Yankees slugger was also chasing a victory, and he was disappointed that the Blue Jays walked him in the 10th inning in a big spot before the Bombers lost walk-off style, 3-2, at the Rogers Centre on Monday night. "Game on the line, that's where you want to hit," Judge told…

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Given that the process of getting the ball out of Alek Manoah's hands seven innings into a game can be a chore, imagine suggesting to the Blue Jays right-hander that he take an extra day off? That's precisely what the team has done here in a crucial four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, pushing his next outing to…

Baseball fans get twice the action at Camden Yards on Monday, as the Blue Jays and Orioles meet for Game 2 of their doubleheader this afternoon. The pregame narrative: Toronto entered the day with a 2.5-game lead on the Orioles for the final wild-card spot. After today, these teams will still face each other eight more times in the regular season,…

The Toronto Blue Jays have done all their damage against the Cubs' relievers in this series and won't have to wait long to face their relief corps tonight with Chicago deploying a bullpen day. We like the Jays to score early and often in our betting picks. Up and down and up and down. The roller coaster that is the Toronto Blue Jays' season…

Well, somebody actually did it. The San Diego Padres forked over six players, including two of MLB Pipeline's top 100 prospects and three former first-round picks, to acquire Juan Soto and Josh Bell ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline. No disrespect to Bell, who owns a 142 wRC+ and is a perceived upgrade over Luke Voit at first base. But the obvious…
