we could talk about baseball..
John Schneider described Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as “tight (and) tired” while adding that “nothing major” is impacting him. “He's obviously frustrated and it’s hot in here and we're playing a lot of games in a row coming up, so we'll just see how he is tomorrow offensively."
Trey Yesavage is coming out of the game after experiencing some kind of discomfort while warming up. More details to come.
Jose Soriano says he was sleeping when he got the call telling him he’d been traded to Toronto, a city he really likes. He’s not sure when he’ll make his Jays debut but it could be Friday at the Phillies. Soriano says he draws inspiration from Pedro Martinez’s competitiveness.

In Jose Soriano, the Blue Jays add a long-term rotation upgrade who sits 97 and induces a ton of ground balls. A significant move for a team that needed answers on the pitching side www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Kevin Gausman said he felt a lot of appreciation for the ovation fans gave him today. Afterwards, he had to go to the tunnel to regroup for a moment. “I've played this game long enough to know those things don't happen all the time. So I just tried to soak it in.”
Asked about his 10-and-5 rights, George Springer said: “I'm here. I love this team. I love this organization, and as far as I know, I'm here.”

There was never any real thought to not starting Kevin Gausman today per John Schneider.
“Kev will go down as one of the best free agent signings the organization has made, especially from a pitching standpoint. He's remarkably consistent, professional, good teammate, low maintenance. Everything that you want from a frontline dude,” - John Schneider on Kevin Gausman
On the field, a win for the Blue Jays. Off the field, lots of intrigue ahead of Monday's deadline. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...
John Schneider on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s near-HR "We thought he got it. I don't know what's going on with this atmosphere here with Vlad, but yeah, those are the type of swings you take on a pitch that's over the middle. Encouraging for sure. The big fella’s working”
Umpire trivia: Jordan Baker is at second tonight, meaning he'll be at first tomorrow and behind home plate Sunday when Max Scherzer pitches. Baker worked home plate in G7 of the 2025 World Series, started by Scherzer. For what it's worth. I found it sorta interesting.
