Jose Berrios sat down for his first interview since being left off the Toronto Blue Jays' postseason roster.The 31-year-old, who had been a staple in the Blue Jays' starting rotation since being acquired in a trade partway through the 2021 season, struggled immensely over the second half of 2025.Berrios wasn't just getting knocked around, but also noticed a decline in his velocity. Shortly after being demoted to a bullpen role, he was placed on the injured list due to, as he put it, a variety of ailments."I've been battling all year long with my elbow, my bicep, but with the way my team was competing out there, I was trying to trying to [stay] out there," Berrios said in an appearance on MLB Network. Berrios has taken plenty of heat for his distance from the team during their historic run to the World Series this past fall.

Hundreds of people in Toronto endured frigid winter temperatures just to celebrate the opening of a local bakery chain's newest location last weekend.I'm not much of a dessert person, but from those in my own life, I know there's not much that can stand between them and a worthy sweet treat. In the case of the enthusiastic fanbase bolstering Scarborough's LA LA Bakeshop, it was the icy air blowing down the Bay Street wind tunnel that couldn't deter them, as the bakery chain opened a new downtown Toronto location just weeks after closing its last.When the Vietnamese bakeshop closed its Annex location in November of 2025, fans of the chain feared they'd be forced to travel to Scarborough or Waterloo to get their goodies.No fear, because just a handful of weeks later, the chain opened its latest Toronto location just a few intersections over in College Park.
