A right handed power hitter who's power randomly evaporated this year going to the worst park in baseball for right handed power, this should go great!

Luis Castillo has been worse by literally every metric this season, and he returned an actual big league reliever and a real C/OF prospect. Just brutal work by the front office.
Blue Jays announce the Kevin Gausman deal Brett Bateman & Ty Southisene coming back No mention of cash considerations, meaning Cubs are paying Gausman’s remaining salary
Makes sense, everyone is always saying how the Jays have too much power in the lineup.
Brett Bateman, part of the Gausman return, is a player we could see late in the season in Toronto. He’s 24 and can play CF. Over 81 games in AAA: .312 AVG .413 OBP 3 HR 20 SB Again, another contact profile… but one closer to contributing in the short term. #BlueJays
The Toronto Blue Jays make scoring a run look harder than splitting an atom. Excruciating.
No, it isn't and no, it very much isn't. Publishing deliberately misleading bullshit like this should not be legal. I don't care if it's under the guise of "opinion" - that's the whole scam!
and GOD IS EMPTY JUST LIKE ME
Alan Roden was sub replacement level and sent back to AAA. Nate Pearson is a quad A guy. SWR was DFA'd twice this year. Gunnar Hoglund has appeared in 6 Major League games and has not pitched this year. Sell prospects when you're a contender!!!
Maybe this is quasi-relevant tonight, but Orelvis Martinez is out of baseball this season, and Jordan Groshans is 26 and in Double-A.
Next year's lockout is gonna suuuuuuck
TARIK SKUBAL IS A LOS ANGELES DODGER
Given the way this season is going, I'm 100% convinced he's getting hurt today.
There was never any real thought to not starting Kevin Gausman today per John Schneider.
The substation is already in midseason form.

It's pretty funny that Infantino managed to be demonstrably less scrupulous and competent than Septic Bladder before him.
There can be no let-up now. Infantino must stand down or be removed: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Next time the Jays make a deal with the devil I would like them to specify that we need to actually win something before the devil comes to collect
Canceling flights so they can avoid paying their employees, what a great company!
CBC reports WestJet has begun parking aircraft ahead of a possible flight attendants' strike this weekend. Both the airline and union say negotiations continue, but key issues around compensation for ground duties remain unresolved. If you're travelling this long weekend, how are you preparing?

Winning in Winnipeg has been the mountain the Lions could never climb the past several years, so naturally a beat up last place team is the one that finally goes in and gets it done. Good stuff!

Jeff Hoffman has had an absolutely bizarre year where he's had some massive blow-ups, but also since the start of June, has a 1.33 ERA with a 27/7 K/BB. I have no idea what to make of him, but I think someone will be happy to trade for him.
Behold, a steaming pile of self-serving dung from a recent Globe and Mail op-ed by two business leaders. Reality: the province is suffocating clean energy, no business has “stepped up” to build or fill the pipeline, and oil companies are minting massive profits for themselves, not the federation.
Yeah I dunno, I feel like this needs to be framed as "1 in 3 people still support a profoundly demented white nationalist authoritarian sex criminal who has illegally sent their people to war and nuked their own economy with his policies". That the number is still this high should be the shock.
I will confess that I did not believe he would get below 35%. I thought that was his floor. Color me intrigued.
The Blue Jays were one inning away from a World Series last year, and their 3 big offseason acquisitions are a Cy Young frontrunner, a 35+ HR everyday infielder and a setup man with a 1.51 ERA. So naturally, they're in last place by a full 3 games.
RIP Shane Bieber's trade value. July 23, 2026 - July 27, 2026
Vladdy was clearly safe at home, it's a bad call live and an awful one to uphold on replay.
Boy, it is feeling like an exceedingly bad day to be a couple of beers.
In case you're wondering, you should never be consuming news from the National Post or any of the Postmedia affiliates:

Great for Seb, terrible for a team that looks geared up to be a title contender this season.
🇺🇸🔴 BREAKING: Middlesbrough is set to sign USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter from the Vancouver Whitecaps, per sources. Deal agreed. Berhalter off to Boro. Fee around $2m, rather than Berhalter leaving for free in 5 months when contract expires. www.nytimes.com/athletic/746...
Wilner from the top rope!
Great work there by #Rays Taylor Walls (part of the TB crew who wouldn't wear the Pride Night cap a couple of years back). Overslides the bag at second, then puts his hand on Andres Gimenez' glove, which had the ball in it, tagging himself out. 1-1 to bot5. #Bluejays
