1 week ago Toronto Blue Jays broadcasting legend Buck Martinez could return to booth in 2026

For several generations of Toronto Blue Jays fans, the distinctive voice of Buck Martinez has been a defining part of their game-watching experience.A former player and manager for the Blue Jays, Martinez's legacy has been defined by his time in the broadcast booth as the voice behind many of the team's most legendary moments.And at age 75, he's looking to keep his career going forward.Sportsnet confirmed to Offside that discussions are ongoing to bring back Martinez for another season, following a report from Toronto Star contributor Jonah Sigel.Martinez was sidelined from May until August while undergoing cancer treatments after originally receiving a diagnosis in 2022, which kept him off the mic for nearly a year.Questions of Martinez's future have been ongoing for several years now, given his age and cancer diagnosis.And while the health scares could be enough to keep most people away from their jobs, it seems to have had the opposite effect for Martinez.&qu...

2 w. ago These 4 Toronto Blue Jays players have a shot at World Series MVP

The Toronto Blue Jays are one game away from winning the World Series.On Friday (and potentially Saturday for a winner-take-all Game 7), the Blue Jays head to the Rogers Centre with a chance to clinch their first title since 1993.One common theme about this year's team has been how close they are not only as teammates, but as friends, even picking up the "Glue Jays" nickname internally.But while they might be a team made up of hardworking guys who aren't too concerned about individual recognition, Major League Baseball will still award a World Series MVP at the end of it all to a player from either the Dodgers or the Blue Jays.If the Blue Jays win it all on Friday in a relatively smooth game (i.e. low scoring and no all-time hitting or pitching performances), the trophy appears to be Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s to lose. With eight hits, two home runs, and six runs scored, Guerrero has been the engine that's powered Toronto's offence so far.The Blue Jay...

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays players would earn enormous bonus cheques for World Series win

The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from etching themselves into baseball history, which would come with a sweet little pay bump.If the Blue Jays win the World Series, each player will receive a bonus as another reward on top of being a champion. This comes from money pooled together from 60 per cent of the ticket sales through the minimum amount of games played in the postseason.The World Series winning team is allotted 36 per cent of this pool, while the runner-up is eligible to take 24 per cent. The number for this year is currently unknown, but last year's champion, the LA Dodgers, received a record $46.5 million out of a pool of $129.1 million.This resulted in each player on the Dodgers being awarded $477,441 for winning the World Series.So, what does this mean for each player?Well, for some of the team's higher-paid players, a bonus of $477,000 will seem like a drop in the bucket. For example, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to make a total of $28.5 million t...

I just arrived about 30 minutes ago. So there was some delays. I don't know if there was intent or not. But, man, the international stuff was a bear. But we made it.
