9 h. ago Dodgers star gets booed out of Toronto kids hospital in hilarious new commercial

Toronto Blue Jays fans don't appear to have forgiven the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet – even if it's for a good cause.The Dodgers, as you surely know by now, broke just about all of Canada's collective hearts last month when they topped the Blue Jays in an epic seven-game World Series.And one of the heroes for the Dodgers in that series was Freddie Freeman, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning of a long Game 3.Given that Freeman represents Canada internationally in baseball due to his Canadian parents' roots, he'd usually be a natural pick for many Canadian commercials.But in a recent holiday spot for SickKids hospital (alongside none other than Ryan Reynolds), Freeman didn't exactly get the warmest of receptions.Rub some dirt on it @FreddieFreeman5! And thank you for being such a good sport supporting @sickkids. Everyone who can, please donate before December 24th and all donations will be matched up to $1,000,000. pic.twitter.c...

34 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays have one of MLB's highest payrolls and they aren't done yet

The Toronto Blue Jays' run to the World Series has seemingly changed this franchise for the better.After years of disappointment on the free-agent front, the Jays have already landed one of the best starting pitchers in Dylan Cease, while also adding another intriguing starter in Cody Ponce. Best of all, they aren't done yet.The Jays are continuing to look for a closer and have been linked to both Edwin Diaz and Pete Fairbanks. This is all going on while they are still attempting to re-sign Bo Bichette. Oh, and don't forget, they've also been in talks with Kyle Tucker's camp.The Blue Jays haven't had issues spending money in the past. The difference this time around is that they are receiving more interest from players in joining the organization, which, in turn, is now proving to fans just how much they are willing to spend.The Blue Jays currently have the second-highest 26-man payroll in the MLB at a jaw-dropping $218.3 million.

34 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays are trying to woo top free agent down in Florida

The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping a bit of holiday magic might help them land one of the game's top free agents.According to FanSided's Robert Murray and later followed up by multiple reports, free agent Kyle Tucker visited the Blue Jays' complex in Dunedin, Florida, this week.Several Blue Jays players in recent seasons have spoken about the quality of the team's facilities both in Florida and Toronto.And for a player like Tucker, who's expected to land a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it'd only make sense to get a full tour of his home digs if he were to end up signing in Toronto.If nothing else, it shows that the Jays appear to be serious in their willingness to try to attract top free agents, with players like Tucker also showing at least a preliminary interest in Toronto.What could the Blue Jays expect in Kyle Tucker?Tucker didn't have the best 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs, putting up: a .266 average with 22 home runs and 73 RBI in 13...

Not all of Dylan Cease's $210 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays will go against their salary cap.The Blue Jays had their first big get of the offseason last week, signing starting pitcher Dylan Cease to a seven-year deal. With the signing, they project to have one of the best starting rotations in all of the MLB next season, which was bolstered even further with the signing of Cody Ponce on Tuesday.That said, landing one of the best starting pitchers on the free-agent market in Cease didn't come cheap, though thankfully, recent details of the contract won't have as big of a financial impact as initially thought.Dylan Cease’s $210m, 7-yr deal with the Blue Jays includes $64m in deferrals that reduce present value to $184.63m, as calculated by players union.Signing bonus: $23m2026: $22m, $10m deferred2027: $30m, $9m deferred2028: $29m, $9m deferred2029: $28m, $9m deferred2030:…— Shi Davidi (@ShiDavidi) December 3, 2025 Cease's contract inc...

The Toronto Blue Jays have added a bit of star power this offseason.And no, we're not just talking about their free agent signings, though one of them did help recruit a new famous fan to the franchise.On Tuesday, it was reported that the Blue Jays signed free agent pitcher Cody Ponce, fresh off a season winning the KBO's MVP as the best player in South Korea.Ponce returns to the MLB for the first time since 2021 as what seems like a more well-polished pitcher, and could play a big part in Toronto's plans next year.But interestingly, he also comes with a famous brother-in-law, as pointed out by Postmedia's Rob Wong: San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle.A six-time Pro Bowl player and a two-time first-team All-Pro, Kittle has been one of the most productive tight ends in league history.Originally a fifth-round pick out of Iowa in 2017, Kittle has made his mark on the football world as one of the NFL's best pass-catching tight ends, having picked up 1,000 yar...

3 d. ago Sounds like Toronto Blue Jays could still bring back Scherzer or Bassitt

The Toronto Blue Jays already have one of the best starting rotations in baseball, and they may not be done adding to it just yet.Following the seven-year contract with Dylan Cease, the Blue Jays now have a five-man rotation that consists of Cease, Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and Jose Berrios. They also still have players like Eric Lauer and Bowden Francis who can make spot starts when needed. Still, management may be looking to add even more depth.It sounds like the Blue Jays are still looking to add more starting pitching depth, which could come in the form of returnees like Max Scherzer or Chris Bassitt. Sportsnet's Shi Davidi mentioned in a recent article that given injury concerns to both Berrios and Francis, paired with Bieber's past Tommy John surgery, the Jays may look to add another starter as insurance. Both Bassitt and Scherzer have been on record saying that they would like to return to the Blue Jays. Bassitt played a big role out o...

Toronto Blue Jays fans across the country won't be forgetting about Ernie Clement's recent playoff heroics anytime soon.The 29-year-old became a household name after his postseason performance, one in which he hit a pristine .411 with a home run and nine RBI through 18 games. His 30 hits set a postseason MLB record, and were one of the biggest reasons as to why the Blue Jays were just one win shy of capturing the World Series. His superb showing won't just be remembered by Canadians for years to come.Clement's hometown of Monroe County, N.Y. recognized the Blue Jays infielder this past weekend while he was attending an event with the MiLB's Rochester Red Wings.

The Toronto Blue Jays are continuing to look at the free-agent market when it comes to improving their bullpen.The bullpen was an area of concern for the team this past season, as a number of relievers underperformed, including Jeff Hoffman in the closer role.Given Hoffman's struggles, the Blue Jays are believed to be in the market for a closer. GM Ross Atkins even confirmed at his end-of-season media availability that Hoffman is open to a different role in the bullpen should it be necessary.The Blue Jays expressed interest in the likes of Ryan Helsley, Raisel Iglesias, and Phil Maton, only to see them sign elsewhere. Now, they've turned their attention to one of the best options still remaining, in Pete Fairbanks."With Ryan Helsley off the market, Pete Fairbanks might be the next closer to sign," reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
