14 h. ago When will Toronto Blue Jays rookie phenom Trey Yesavage pitch next?

The Toronto Blue Jays found their newest postseason legend on Sunday.Rising up through the minor leagues at a rapid rate, the Jays' 2024 first-round draft pick, Trey Yesavage, has been one of the biggest stories of the entire postseason.Pitching 5.1 no-hit innings and earning a franchise-record 11 strikeouts in a postseason game, Yesavage put up a performance few Blue Jays fans would ever forget.But as much fun as his Game 2 performance in a win over the New York Yankees was for Blue Jays fans, it's hopefully one that the youngster will be able to build off of. After all, you don't win a World Series with just one good performance, but ideally a few strung together over the course of several playoff rounds.And in a sport where it's as much about your next game as the last one, fans are already wondering when they'll get to see their new star again.When can Yesavage pitch next for the Blue Jays?Although his first playoff game was historic, Yesavage has actual...

16 h. ago MLB legend David Ortiz eviscerates Yankees after Toronto Blue Jays slugfest

David Ortiz might not exactly be the biggest fan of the Toronto Blue Jays, but there's no doubt who he's cheering for in the American League Wild Card Series.Ortiz, a 10-time All-Star during his 14 seasons with the Boston Red Sox, seemed to be taking quite the pleasure in seeing the Blue Jays demolish the New York Yankees during their first two playoff games.While Toronto still needs to win one more game to advance to the American League Championship Series, they've certainly looked the part in their first two games. Scoring 23 runs over two days, Ortiz was in full-on trolling mode over his hated Yankees rivals."They can bring Jesus back, and they're still going to go to Cancun," Ortiz said on Fox's postgame show. "It's over. It's a wrap, just so you know. This Toronto Blue Jays lineup ain't playing around."Ortiz got the ability to chirp a few old rivals in Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom were two of the biggest faces ...

18 h. ago Here's why the Toronto Blue Jays pulled Trey Yesavage in historic Yankees beatdown

Even in perhaps the best two-game stretch of his entire run as Toronto Blue Jays manager, John Schneider knows that he's not always going to be the most popular guy in town.On Sunday, Schneider's Blue Jays pulled off a game anyone in attendance will probably never forget.While Toronto scored 13 runs on the day to take a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees, the biggest star of the game was starting pitcher Trey Yesavage, who put on one of the best performances anyone's ever had wearing a Jays uniform.In just 5.1 innings of work (and only his fourth-ever MLB start), the 22-year-old rookie made Jays postseason history with a franchise-record 11 strikeouts on the day, giving up no hits and just one walk.But he actually could've probably had a better performance, had he not been pulled after just 78 pitches. More than half-way to what would've been the first no-hitter in Blue Jays playoff history, Schneider decided he'd rather play the percentages and let Ye...

38 h. ago Toronto Blue Jays got totally disrespected by American media in Yankees series predictions

The Toronto Blue Jays have home-field advantage. They also beat the New York Yankees in eight of 13 games this season, including victories in six of seven games against the Yanks at Rogers Centre.Don't tell that to American media members, who don't seem to be taking the Blue Jays seriously.Most U.S. media outlets believe the Yankees will emerge victorious over Toronto during the first-ever meeting between these two teams in the postseason.On MLB.com, about two-thirds of their writers said that the Yankees will prevail against the Blue Jays, despite being the lower seed. They highlighted Bo Bichette's absence and the emergence of New York pitcher Camerom Schlittler as factors that could be the difference in the series.That slant towards the Yankees comes off as tame compared to other outlets.A panel of five CBS Sports writers all unanimously picked the Yankees to beat the Jays, although all of their writers said the series would go to a decisive Game 5."I question th...

38 h. ago New York Yankees manager claps back at Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez

It's been nearly a month since Buck Martinez criticized the New York Yankees.However, his comments haven't been forgotten.When the Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros on Sept. 9, the story wasn't about the final result (a 4-3 Toronto win). What most remember from that game were Martinez's comments in the seventh inning when he found out that the Detroit Tigers were pounding the Yankees."You know, the Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They have a lot of wild pitches, they make a lot of mistakes in the field, they don't run the bases very well. If they don't hit home runs, they don't have a chance to win."Well, turns out that neither the fans nor Yankees manager Aaron Boone have forgotten his comments.“Contrary to some thoughts up here, we’re a really good team," Boone told reporters on Friday.Just in case it wasn't clear who Boone was talking about, he later clarified."I know...

3 d. ago Here's what Aaron Judge said about the Blue Jays and Toronto fans before ALDS

Don't expect the New York Yankees to be underestimating the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of their first-ever postseason meeting.Sure, the Blue Jays might've come into the year with muted expectations, while the Yankees were fresh off a World Series appearance.But 162 regular season games (and one Wild Card series for the Yankees) later, and it's New York who's heading into Toronto without home field advantage for the American League Division Series starting on Saturday.And the Yankees' biggest star, two-time AL MVP Aaron Judge, had kind things to say about the Blue Jays after his Yankees knocked off the Boston Red Sox in a winner-take-all Wild Card Game 3 on Thursday night."They're a complete team. They don't strike out a lot. So they're gonna put the ball in play. They're gonna force your hand on defence. We're looking forward to that. Toronto is going to be rocking. We love that," Judge said following the game, per Sportsnet's David...
