The Toronto Blue Jays have not played a postseason game since Joe Carter’s Game 6 homer won the 1993 World Series. The Jays hope this is the year they can return to baseball’s postseason party.
But it won’t be easy, as it never is playing in a division with the Rays, Yankees and Red Sox. (Read More…)

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Jose Bautista has been rewarded with a five-year contract extension worth $65 million.
The new deal keeps the two sides from going to arbitration, which is always a desireable result.
Bautista topped the 50 home run mark last year, having a breakout season that no one saw coming.
The Blue Jays seem slightly crazy to have given Bautista such a huge deal based off of one season. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have traded veteran outfielder Vernon Wells to the Los Angeles Anegles for two players.
In exchange for Wells, the Blue Jays received outfielder Juan Rivera and catcher Mike Napoli from the Angels.
Rivera will help fill the spot vacated by Wells while Napoli can take over catcher since John Buck signed elsewhere in the offseason.
This is essentially a salary dump for the Blue Jays, who now seem to be completely sold on a total rebuild rather than trying to compete with their current roster. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed pitcher Octavio Dotel to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million.
The Blue Jays are expected to make Dotel their closer, ending any chance that Kevin Gregg returns to Toronto.
The 37-year old saved 22 games last season while splitting time between the Pirates, Dodgers and Rockies.
He has 105 saves over his 12-year career. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have traded pitcher Shawn Marcum to the Milwaukee Brewers for prospect Brett Lawrie.
Ever since the Roy Halladay trade, it seems like the Blue Jays are set on rebuilding and stocking their minor league system with young talent.
The Blue Jays said they believe they have plenty of pitching depth but need help with position players.
Toronto said they were excited about the prospect of acquiring Lawrie for some time, though he may eventually change positions. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have hired former Seattle Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu as their bench coach.
Wakamatsu is highly respected throughout the game of baseball and is a tremendous hire for the Blue Jays.
The Baltimore Orioles were highly interested in Wakamatsu because Buck Showalter has ties to him.
The Blue Jays also announced that former Cy Young award winner Pat Hentgen will be the bullpen coach. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have hired Boston Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell as their new manager.
Farrell will take over for Cito Gaston, who is expected to remain with the organization in an advisory role.
It will be Farrell’s first managerial opportunity at any level, something he called very exciting and unique.
He obviously has a lot of familiarity with the Blue Jays from his time competing against them with the rival Red Sox. (Read More…)

It’s been an unbelievable season for Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Jose Bautista, who topped the 50 home run mark.
Bautista hit the ball well all year but actually might have reached his peak as the season came to a close.
The third baseman finished the year by knocking a bunch of balls out of the ballpark in the final weeks and significantly raising his average.
He had bounced around the major leagues for several years as a Rule 5 draft pick but could never seem to find a home. (Read More…)

The Toronto Blue Jays have signed pitcher Ricky Romero to a five-year, $30 million contract extension.
Romero pitched pretty well last year and has become the team’s top starting pitcher this season.
The organization is planning on building their entire pitching staff around him in the coming years.
The left-hander said that it was a long process but that he’s very happy the deal finally got signed. (Read More…)

Toronto Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said he will not return as the team’s skipper next season.
Gaston, who is in his second stint with the Blue Jays, was brought back to help with the rebuilding process.
The team has shown signs of improvement and certainly some serious promise for the future, but they still aren’t ready to compete in the American League East.
The 66-year old manager is in the second year of his two-year contract and believes leaving his post is best for the club. (Read More…)
