Jamie Moyer Signs Minor League Deal With Toronto Blue Jays
Well, you know the old baseball saying: desperate times calls for…Jamie Moyer. For the Toronto Blue Jays, that time is now. With Henderson Alvarez being removed from his start against the Boston Red Sox last night (luckily, the team is being optimistic that it is simply a precautionary move and that Hendo may not miss [...]
TweetHenderson Alvarez Exits Game With Elbow Injury; Enter…Scott Richmond?
There’s probably another joke that could be made here, but the situation is just outright sad at this point…so here it is: Toronto Blue Jays RHP Henderson Alvarez has left tonight’s game against the Boston Red Sox in the 6th inning after 95 pitches with what is being called “right elbow soreness”. The 22-year old [...]
TweetTravis Snider’s Time With The Toronto Blue Jays Is Nigh; If Not, It Should Be.
I recognize that the move to continue having Rajai Davis be the Toronto Blue Jays‘ left fielder likely has less to do with Travis Snider‘s readiness, and more with the team’s plans to build up trade value for the 31-year old Davis; still, I can’t help but be slightly disappointed when GM Alex Anthopoulous all [...]
TweetSergio Santos On The Mend, Looking To Get Back To Mound For Toronto Blue Jays
It’s been a little while since we’ve really gotten a chance to talk about Sergio Santos, what with him only throwing a handful of innings for the Toronto Blue Jays this season before being sidelined by shoulder injury. He’s been something of a forgotten man in the 2012 narrative that’s seen the team go through [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays Thoughts, June 19th Edition: Colby Rasmus & Co. Rain Homers On Brew Crew
Yeah, I know, the Toronto Blue Jays pitching is a hell of a mess right now. 3/5ths of our starting rotation is hurt, and the remaining guys…well, let’s not go there. On the flip side, this club still has one of the best offenses in the big league (5th in runs scored with 321); and [...]
TweetKyle Drabek Headed For 2nd Tommy John Surgery
This was mostly the expected result essentially as soon as the Toronto Blue Jays found out about the “pop” in Kyle Drabek‘s arm last week; but still, it kinda sucks, doesn’t it? The 24-year old righty, who landed on the 15-day DL after his June 13 start after suffering a right elbow sprain, will be [...]
TweetOkay, Toronto Blue Jays, Let’s Talk About Matt Garza
Look, I’m not a proponent of the Toronto Blue Jays making rash moves, and I realise they’re coming off a weekend series sweep against a scuffling Philadelphia Phillies‘ team; all I mean to say is, maybe now would be a good time to think about addressing that whole starting pitcher issue. The projected starting 5 [...]
TweetKyle Drabek Joins Toronto Blue Jays Injury Club
You know the expression, “when it rains, it pours”? For the Toronto Blue Jays, it’s not so much pouring as it is an unstoppable hurricane lately. I suppose that could refer to being swept by the Nationals, losing 6-of-7, and falling below .500 for the first time in 2012; but the worst of it may [...]
TweetVladimir Guerrero’s Comeback Bid With Toronto Blue Jays Ends With Ultimatum, Release
Well, so much for that potential solution at left field. Is Travis Snider close to ready yet? No? Okay, I guess we might see a couple more starts from Edwin Encarnacion out there, then. In what has been an all-day saga of sorts that began with the FAN 590′s Mike Wilner reporting that Vladimir Guerrero had [...]
TweetSergio Santos Suffers Setback, Return Date To Toronto Blue Jays Still Unknown
The good news: with a team-friendly contract that keeps him in Toronto until at least the end of the 2014 season, closer Sergio Santos will likely be a member of the Toronto Blue Jays for a good long time as he heads into his prime. The bad: A sizable chunk of the 2012 season already been [...]
