Raptors and Blue Jays at Sportsnet. Music and wrestling at leisure. I’m just a constant headache.
Martin's second year is guaranteed for $500K, with a July 1 full guarantee date.
Blake Murphy@blakemurphy.bsky.social · last mo.This is a two-year minimum, so easy one for the Raptors to manoeuvre. Second year is only partially guaranteed, per a source.
Exhibit 10 deal for AJJ, joining Bittle (and eventually Nimari Burnett, I believe). 3 Ex10 + 3 2-ways, if Kawhi framework goes through, would leave Raptors with 2 more camp spots. (Plus any churn of the Ex10 guys)
Michael Scotto@mikeascotto.bsky.social · 19h agoThe Toronto Raptors and Andre Jackson Jr. have agreed to a deal, league sources told HoopsHype. He’ll compete for a roster spot with the Raptors. He spent the past three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Eloy Jimenez headlines a list of Blue Jays minor leaguers released today to make room for new additions. The light has finally gone out. List also includes 2022 2nd-rounder Cade Doughty.
Raptors adding Trey Jemison on a 2-way, per Chris Haynes. Another big body for depth. 2-way spots are full for now, but those can be very flexible as far as converting a guy to standard deal or cutting someone after camp. Bittle figures to be a camp/905 factor with a chance to get in that convo.
Jays Talk Plus, Trade Deadline Special! We'll be up 10am-2pm on Sportsnet 360, @sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social, and podcast. Bunch of guests rolling through. Always a really fun day.
Hard to ask for anything more than what Gausman gave to Toronto, on and off the field. Huge part of the culture and some of the teams most successful years, strong advocate for the org, all-around good guy.
@wrestlingbrain.bsky.social wouldn't it really hurt your feelings if I dramatically gave you my Wrestling Brain patch back like Ospreay
Raptors preseason schedule, with training camp in Quebec City
I’m filling in as color/analyst again for this Jays-Nationals series on @sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social Very fun opponent, and a lot of potential deadline relevance on both sides.
Myles Straw (0.00 ERA, 2.1IP) getting showcased ahead of the deadline here
Jays continue to be a terrible watch, and I say this as someone who watched TNA Impact with @wrestlingbrain.bsky.social recently
The changeable hat patches two days before the trade deadline is a bit on the nose
Allen Graves and Seth Lundy will sit out the Raptors Summer League finale. CMB, Martin, Hepburn still down too. Standard move to get a bit longer a look at guys like Bradley and possible 905 options.
While recognizing that the music isn’t gonna be for everyone, Poppy is one of the top live performers out there right now. The quality of screaming+singing a breath apart is remarkable. Fun one (x4)!
Need the Always Sunny cast doing their Motownphilly rendition after this one
I’m going to steal the declaration of All-Star starting lineups
Derby walk-off is awesome but thinking of some precedent for hot Philly crowds
So cool to see Alex Frazao working the field-level closeup camera for the Home Run Derby. He's responsible for a lot of the awesome Jays/Raptors shots of that type the last few years.
Love being 20 minutes in and still not a competitive swing. Feels like watching the Jays. (Boooo)
Will Ferrell half in-character making 2013 era Twitter jokes, who is this for
Amazing Red, AJ Styles, and Petey Williams putting on a banger in this thing
Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · 3w agoOh no.
CMB and Martin remain out for summer league Raptors, and Chucky Hepburn is down today with knee soreness
It's a big night for us Jac-Offs
Mike Petriello@mikepetriello.bsky.social · 3w agoWhat leads to HR Derby success? Is it even possible to predict? I tried to build a fun tool, looking back at 64 past participants. 6 of top 9 ranked made the finals (4 wins). Only 1 of the bottom 30 made the finals. What does that say for 2026? --> www.mlb.com/news/predict...
