Since then, Toronto has gone 7-13, including losing five of six games to the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago White Sox, the two worst teams last season. It's not the start the team or fans had hoped for after...8139Thu, 23 Apr 2026 10:54:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/louis-varlands-one-pitch-wonder-r8121/The Blue Jays have something special in Louis Varland. The 28-year-old has been, almost certainly, the AL's best reliever so far in 2026. Of the 49 AL arms with at least 10 innings pitched in relief this season, Varland is one of just two who have yet to allow an earned run, and one of just nine...8121Wed, 22 Apr 2026 18:57:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/is-this-finally-the-year-for-a-true-davis-schneider-breakout-r8108/This piece was written prior to the Blue Jays' game on Tuesday, April 21. It was only three years ago that the Toronto Blue Jays had an unheralded prospect who came out of nowhere to put on a show for his major league debut. That prospect, of course, was Davis Schneider, who was selected in...8108Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:12:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/is-eric-lauer-changing-his-ways-r8096/Eric Lauer wanted to prove he could start full-time in 2026. He hasn't had the results he was hoping for yet. Much like the rest of the Blue Jays, Lauer looked sharp in the season's opening series against the Athletics. Then the floor fell out from under him. Battling through the flu, he l...8096Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:52:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/lenyn-sosa-was-a-start-but-is-it-time-for-a-blockbuster-r8085/The Toronto Blue Jays did a thing. They brought in Lenyn Sosa. The trade was a low-risk move aimed at injecting some flexibility and a little spark into an offense that has spent far too much of this season sputtering, searching, stalling. In a vacuum, that kind of move makes sense. The lineup j...8085Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:52:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blue-jays-minor-league-recap-hitters-going-wild-r8074/Blue Jays Affiliate Overview (April 18-April 19) Triple-A Buffalo Bisons Series vs. Rochester Red Wings (Washington Nationals): 3-3 Season Record: 10-11 Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats  Series vs. Chesapeake Baysox (Baltimore Orioles): 4-1 Season Record: 8-5 High-A Vanc...8074Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:17:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/the-blue-jays-run-differential-is-a-warning-they-cant-ignore-r8055/This piece was written prior to the Blue Jays game on Monday, April 20. The thing about run differential is that it paints a pretty clear picture of whether a team is good or not. You can hide a shaky bullpen for a week. You can ride a hot bat for a series. You can even be convinced that a...8055Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:52:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/how-dylan-cease-became-unhittable-r8040/Dylan Cease has been off to an excellent start this season, posting a 1.74 ERA over 20 2/3 innings. His 36.0% strikeout rate (32 strikeouts) leads AL pitchers with at least 20 innings pitched. Although, it's not all pretty, as his 5.23 walks per nine innings would be his second-worst rate over h...8040Mon, 20 Apr 2026 15:17:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/episode-29-blue-jays-lose-sixth-straight-series-but-take-finale-with-10-run-outburst-r8036/Owen and Jesse lament the sixth straight series loss for the Toronto Blue Jays, but take some solace in the series finale victory before getting into Jeff Hoffman's continued struggles.
