Getting runners on base and bringing them in are two very important and very distinct parts of hitting, but in 2025, the Jays' tendency to do both at a high frequency was a breath...7673Thu, 09 Apr 2026 14:17:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/a-much-needed-victory-r7662/Davis Schneider had a keen eye on Wednesday. A successful ABS challenge helped him draw a walk in the seventh. He later came around to score the Blue Jays' second run on a George Springer double. It was only Springer's third hit with runners on base all season, though, funnily enough, all t...7662Thu, 09 Apr 2026 10:50:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blowouts-bullpens-and-the-arm-strength-hardly-anybody-notices-r7649/Early injuries have turned April into a test of endurance, pushing the Blue Jays to treat position player pitching not as a novelty, but as a necessary strategy built on velocity control, strike throwing and protecting pitching arms. While some were surprised by the team's signing of so many pit...7649Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:18:04 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/the-blue-jays-have-lost-their-identity-early-in-2026-r7635/“This is not our brand of baseball.” That was manager John Schneider’s message after the Blue Jays were shut out by the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, a loss that capped off a series sweep and dropped the Blue Jays to a 4-5 record. It marked the first time the team had been below .500 since M...7635Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:54:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blue-jays-sign-international-amateur-free-agent-tomoya-kinjo-r7632/According to reporter Francys Romero, the Toronto Blue Jays recently signed Tomoya Kinjo, an international amateur free agent from Japan. The right-hander trained in the Dominican Republic and previously played in the Shikoku Island League Plus, an independent professional league in Japan.

The injury appeared to occur during the Blue Jays’ series in Chicago against the White Sox, when Barger landed awkwardly on first base after trying to beat out a gro...7623Tue, 07 Apr 2026 22:17:00 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/the-sky-is-not-falling-on-the-blue-jays-just-yet-r7621/The temperature always turns up quickly in Toronto when it comes to sports. The start of the baseball season shouldn’t be any reason for that to change. The Jays’ offence goes quiet – meaning a bunch of low-scoring games, a few missed opportunities with runners on – and suddenly it feels like th...7621Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:02:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blue-jays-news-scherzer-barger-fitzgerald-kirk-fleming-voth-r7610/There has been a lot of Toronto Blue Jays news over the past couple of days, so instead of writing separate notes for each item, I decided to combine them all in one piece. Here's what's been going on with the Blue Jays lately (besides the fact that they've lost five straight). Max Scherzer...7610Tue, 07 Apr 2026 12:55:10 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/when-the-blue-jays-and-dodgers-first-met-r7604/Carlos Tosca was starting to rethink things. The Blue Jays were 20-33 when first-year general manager J.P. Ricciardi relieved Buck Martinez of his managerial duties at the start of June, replacing him with Tosca. Toronto responded by winning seven of their first eight games under their new...7604Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:57:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/toronto-blue-jays-minor-league-recap-pitching-takes-center-stage-for-dunedin-and-vancouver-r7585/Blue Jays Affiliate Overview (April 2 – April 5) Triple-A Buffalo Bisons Series vs Omaha Storm Chasers (Kansas City Royals): 1-3 Season Record: 3-6 Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats  Series vs. Binghamton Rumble Ponies (New York Mets): 1-1 Season Record: 1-1 High-A Vancou...7585Mon, 06 Apr 2026 16:07:02 +0000
