Today, I'm moving on to the starting pitchers.  Eight pitchers made at least one start and at least one relief appearance for the Jays this year. A few more made multi-inning...13781Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:38:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/grading-every-player-who-appeared-for-the-blue-jays-in-2026-position-players-r13763/Last week, Nick Nelson of Twins Daily graded every player who appeared for Minnesota this past season. I decided to do the same for the Blue Jays. (Five players appeared for both clubs in 2026. Bragging rights if you can guess all five! Hint: They're all right-handed pitchers.) First up are...13763Sun, 04 Oct 2026 10:55:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/which-npb-stars-could-the-blue-jays-target-in-free-agency-r13744/This offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays will take a close look at what went wrong in 2026. The offense lacked power drastically. They finished last in runs (648) and home runs (152) and finished 26th in slugging (.381).  The starting rotation was pretty mediocre, ranking in the middle of the...13744Sat, 03 Oct 2026 10:55:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/5-things-that-went-right-for-the-blue-jays-in-2026-r13717/You don’t have to look far to find something that went wrong with the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays. Bryan Jaeger gave us his list of five things, and honestly, I admire his restraint. That list could sprawl if we let it. As the season went on and various people in my life checked in on my mental healt...13717Thu, 01 Oct 2026 16:01:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/toronto-blue-jays-2026-starter-of-the-year-r13708/It wasn’t a great season for the Toronto Blue Jays’ starters. The injury bug ran rampant through the staff. José Berríos and Bowden Francis missed all season; Shane Bieber made only 11 starts; and Cody Ponce tore his ACL 2 1/3 innings into his first start. We saw Patrick Corbin and Jameson Taill...13708Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:03:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/five-games-ill-remember-most-from-the-blue-jays-2026-season-r13690/The 2026 Blue Jays season certainly didn’t go the way anyone expected. Coming off a high from the World Series win the year prior, dealing with several injuries to key players throughout the roster, and with underperformance from the Blue Jays superstars, you could say the season was a little bi...13690Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:59:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/the-5-most-clutch-plays-by-blue-jays-pitchers-in-2026-r13674/The Blue Jays will be watching the postseason festivities from afar in 2026, but that isn't any fault of the pitching staff. They were extremely clutch on many occasions throughout the year, led on most nights by Louis Varland, whose +4.7 WPA placed third among all pitchers in baseball. Despite...13674Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:52:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/did-loyalty-sink-the-2026-blue-jays-r13655/The Blue Jays spent last winter believing in the team that nearly won the World Series. The greater mistake may have been continuing to believe after the team sputtered out of the gate. Toronto finished 79-83, a rough reversal for a club that spent aggressively over the winter and entered t...13655Tue, 29 Sep 2026 15:59:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/the-5-most-clutch-plays-by-blue-jays-hitters-in-2026-r13640/It was undoubtedly a year to forget for most of the position players on this roster. The monster innings, big hits with runners in scoring position, and ferocious comebacks that the fanbase had grown accustomed to over the previous year all vanished to the detriment of the Blue Jays' chances of...13640Tue, 29 Sep 2026 10:51:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/and-just-like-that-the-2026-blue-jays-season-is-over-r13624/  Through the rise and the fall of it all, it's over.  In the season finale of the Jays Centre Podcast, Owen and Jesse reflect on the final series of the Blue Jays season, the end of George Springer's six seasons as a Toronto Blue Jay, and Max Scherzer going out in style.  They ta...13624Mon, 28 Sep 2026 16:14:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/5-things-that-went-wrong-for-the-blue-jays-in-2026-r13609/It’s been a disappointing season for the Toronto Blue Jays, who had high hopes after a World Series trip last season. They were two outs away from winning their first championship since 1993, but Miguel Rojas ruined those dreams. That success makes this season's struggles look even worse, as the...13609Mon, 28 Sep 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/mlb-news/jays-centre/lost-in-translation-or-lost-the-plot-vladimir-guerrero-jr-said-what-r13547/Vladimir Guerrero's quote put Owen and Jesse in a pretzel. The guys talk big picture about the Jays' inability to transition out of the Bo Bichette era in year one, and the Jays officially being eliminated from 2026 postseason contention, but they quickly transition into their thoughts about Vla...13547Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:15:00 +0000
