Bo Bichette says he will 'risk it all' playing through injury to win World Series

It doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to see that Bo Bichette is playing at far less than 100 per cent for the Toronto Blue Jays.A knee injury suffered by the 27-year-old shortstop in early September resulted in him sitting on the sidelines through both the ALDS and ALCS, before being healthy enough to be a part of the Jays roster for the World Series.Rather than playing shortstop, the Blue Jays have been switching Bichette between second base and DH, both of which put far less strain on his knee. While he's hitting a robust .364 through 11 at-bats, however, it's clear that he is still not comfortable, as he's been spotted on several occasions hobbling along the bases.Playing at less than 100 per cent is a big risk for any player, as it can result in an injury setback. There is even more risk for Bichette on that front, as he is in line to receive a huge contract this offseason, whether it be from the Blue Jays or another team. Despite the danger of the situatio...

												7 d. ago											Toronto Raptors pay tribute after former coach Lenny Wilkens passes away
												
													The Toronto Raptors are paying tribute to the passing of one of their former coaches.On Sunday, news broke that former Toronto head coach Lenny Wilkens had passed at age 88."We're deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens — a pioneer whose leadership helped shape our foundation. His legacy will forever live on in the Raptors family," the Raptors wrote on X.He is the second former Raptors head coach to pass in recent years. The team's first-ever head coach, Brendan Malone, passed away in 2023.When did Lenny Wilkens coach the Raptors?Wilkens spent 246 games on Toronto's sidelines, coaching the team for three seasons from 2000 to 2003. It was his second-last stop in a legendary coaching career, as he then went on to the New York Knicks for two more seasons.He led Toronto to its first-ever playoff series win in 2001, beating his future Knicks team in the first round. Among the players Wilkens coached were Vince Carter, Charles Oakley, Alvi...

												2 w. ago											Here are the Toronto Blue Jays' odds of winning the World Series next year
												
													As you probably know by now, the Toronto Blue Jays were inches away from winning the World Series.The old sports adage goes that there's always next year, but diehard sports fans know that's not exactly true.Since 2000, only six teams have lost a World Series and then later went on to win one in the coming years, though often with entirely different rosters. For example, the 2011 and 2012 Texas Rangers lost back-to-back World Series before finally winning the franchise's first title in 2023.Toronto, meanwhile, will be looking to emulate a team like the 2015 Kansas City Royals, who bounced back from a 2014 World Series loss to win it all.For Blue Jays fans, some might be optimistic heading into the 2026 season, even if there's bound to be some roster turnover.But according to oddsmakers at FanDuel, that optimism isn't exactly shared across the board.Toronto's opening odds for winning the 2026 World Series sit at +2000, 10th among all teams across the...

												2 w. ago											Toronto Blue Jays reporter goes viral after World Series: 'The better team did not win'
												
													The Toronto Blue Jays came up short in the World Series, but nobody can say they didn't give it their all up to the end.This was an underdog Blue Jays squad that went up against the most expensive MLB roster ever created in the LA Dodgers, and still found a way to push them to the very edge. Toronto was two outs away from winning it all, and forced the Dodgers to make a miracle comeback in the ninth inning to get past them.For many, the Blue Jays were the better team during this series just because of how much they dominated the Dodgers at times. They didn't come up with the championship in the end, that's true, but they exemplified everything you could want from a baseball team.That is an opinion surely held by Sportsnet reporter, and former MLB player, Caleb Joseph, who gave a brutally honest take while on the Rogers Centre field after the game. In a rare moment, we even saw the reporter swear on a live broadcast."It's gonna sound like sour grapes, and I don&#...

													Toronto Blue Jays fans will have to wait another day before potentially celebrating a World Series victory.The Blue Jays entered Game 6 with a chance to win their first World Series title since 1993, but were unable to get much of anything going in terms of offence against the Dodgers and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.Yamamoto, who pitched a complete game in Game 2 of the World Series, went six strong on Friday night, giving up just one run on five hits through six innings. The Dodgers bullpen was able to silence the Jays bats the rest of the way, resulting in a 3-1 victory in the do-or-die outing.Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets through the 6th with a big strikeout! pic.twitter.com/O0k8Ra5i0d— MLB (@MLB) November 1, 2025The Blue Jays were pushing in the ninth, as they had two on base with no outs and wound up chasing Roki Sasaki. Tyler Glasnow got the call from the bullpen, however, and was able to end the game in rather quick fashion.THE DODGERS (-130 ML) END GAME 6 WITH A DOUBLE PLAY AND WE WI...
