They chose Angel Bastardo from the Red Sox. In some ways, Bastardo was a classic Rule 5 pick: he had a starter’s arsenal with a 50-grade fastball, slider, and curve, and an “out pitch” in his 60-grade changeup, "a...4495Sun, 23 Nov 2025 11:55:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/is-ricky-tiedemann-poised-to-become-the-blue-jays-next-breakout-star-r4465/The Blue Jays had several top prospects eligible for protection from the Rule 5 draft, which is coming up on December 10. Still, they only added one – left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann (Jays Centre's No. 5 prospect) – to the 40-man roster before Tuesday's deadline. This was surprising, as I al...4465Fri, 21 Nov 2025 11:50:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/jeff-passan-links-blue-jays-to-cody-bellinger-r4437/With December's Winter Meetings approaching, free agency rumors around the Blue Jays are intensifying. The central question is whether Bo Bichette will be re-signed. If he doesn't return, a significant void arises in the batting order, and urgent solutions will be needed. Jeff Passan of ESP...4437Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:35:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/a-starting-pitching-option-for-the-blue-jays%E2%80%A6-in-2027-r4431/In May 2022, Chad Green left a game against the Orioles with right arm discomfort. Three days later, he was undergoing Tommy John surgery, ending his 2022 season and likely limiting his use in 2023. As 2022 was his last arbitration year, he became a free agent at season's end.

When most of us are his age, we're still trying to figure ourselves out, searching for a career, trying to find love, or even just trying to find a way to move out of our parents' basement. Yesavage isn’t your typical...4421Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:51:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blue-jays-add-fifth-ranked-prospect-ricky-tiedemann-to-their-40-man-roster-r4414/The Blue Jays' number five prospect, Ricky Tiedemann, was Rule 5 eligible and was headed for the Rule 5 draft on December 10. However, the Blue Jays protected him by adding him to the 40-man roster. The 23-year-old had impressive first two MLB seasons, posting a 2.17 ERA over 78 2/3 innings in 2...4414Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:55:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/bo-bichette-rejects-qualifying-offer-r4408/In a move that's more procedural than anything else, Bo Bichette officially rejected his $22.025 million qualifying offer this afternoon. He is expected to sign a long-term, nine-figure contract in free agency – far more than the value of the QO. So, his decision today comes as no surprise....4408Tue, 18 Nov 2025 21:26:02 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/blue-jays-scout-kazuma-okamoto-setting-stage-for-pursuit-r4400/The Toronto Blue Jays have long been linked to Munetaka Murakami, but they may favor another NPB star with fewer red flags in Kazuma Okamoto.

Their 2025 offense was excellent; the Jays' team wRC+ of 112 was fourth in baseball, and their FangGraphs Off (a measure of overall offense) was fifth. And this was despite losing Anthony Santander for effectively the entire year, and Da...4375Mon, 17 Nov 2025 11:56:01 +0000https://diamondcentric.net/news-rumors/jays-centre/toronto-blue-jays-outright-nick-sandlin-r4360/With a bevy of relief pitchers on the 40-man roster, the Toronto Blue Jays have effectively non-tendered one who was in his arbitration years. According to the Blue Jays' official transaction log, pitcher Nick Sandlin has been outrighted by the team.
