2 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays linked to Boston Red Sox slugger in free agency

The Toronto Blue Jays aren't done making big moves just yet.Despite having already spent plenty of money in free agency to bring in Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers, the Blue Jays brass still has one major priority left to complete: finding a big bat.The Blue Jays are still interested in re-signing shortstop Bo Bichette, who has reportedly informed teams that he is open to playing second base. They are also still kicking tires on four-time All-Star Kyle Tucker.And, while still looking to sign one, or perhaps both players, GM Ross Atkins and his staff may also be considering another very valuable hitter in Alex Bregman.Bregman, who is one of the best players available on the free-agent market, spent the 2025 season with the Boston Red Sox. The 31-year-old finished the year hitting .273 with 18 home runs and 62 RBI, numbers which helped him get named an All-Star for the third time in his career."I don't think the Blue Jays are done, I think they...

8 h. ago What Toronto Blue Jays' latest signing means for bullpen's biggest question mark

The Toronto Blue Jays missed out on the likes of Edwin Diaz and Robert Suarez, but were still able to add an intriguing bullpen arm.After initial reports emerged late last week, the Blue Jays confirmed Monday that they had signed 35-year-old Tyler Rogers to a three-year, $37 million deal. The submariner impressed in a big way in 2025, posting a dazzling 1.98 ERA in a combined 77.1 innings split between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets.What immediately stands out when scanning Rogers' 2025 stats, however, is that over his 77.1 innings, he had just 48 strikeouts.Unlike several other relief pitchers the Jays showed interest in, Rogers isn't the type to blow the doors off opposing batters. In fact, his fastball sits in the low 80s. The lower speed, paired with his unique throwing position, often makes hitters uncomfortable and forces them into soft contact.What's interesting about the Rogers signing is what it will mean for Jeff Hoffman moving forward.Hoffman, who ...

8 h. ago Toronto getting North America's first direct flight to country known for beaches

A Montreal-based carrier is gearing up to make history once again with the launch of North America's first direct flight service to a country known for its sunny weather and stunning coastline. On Thursday, Air Transat announced the launch of a new non-stop service between Toronto and Albania's capital, Tirana, which is regarded as one of Europe's sunniest cities, with over 2,500 hours of sun every year. While Tirana is located in the centre of the country and surrounded by mountains, Albania as a whole is known for its picturesque beaches and pristine resorts that offer views of the Ionian Sea. There are currently no direct flight options to Tirana from Toronto, and travelling between the two countries often means having a layover in European cities like Rome, Warsaw, London, or Frankfurt via airlines such as British Airways, Lufthansa, and Air Canada. The new route is part of the airline's summer 2026 program and will operate once weekly st...
