BLUE JAYS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Blue Jays rumors: Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion could be available

The Toronto Blue Jays may follow a precedent set by the Miami Marlins last season.  Pay a lot of money for top-tier players, give them a limited opportunity to make the team successful, then sell them off.  If the team falls completely out of contention by the July trade deadline, it's possible two of Toronto's top hitters could be made available. Nick Cafardo of the...

Jose Bautista Must Think He’s Pretty Cool With His Lifetime MLB Pass

The Major League Baseball Lifetime Pass is like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket, except instead of allowing a person to take a tour of a chocolate factory and possibly develop diabetes in record time, it grants the person who possesses it lifetime access to any MLB stadium of that person’s choice. Needless to say, based on that very brief description, I already want one and will...

Q&A: Marcus Stroman, a Blue Jay Starts Over

Marcus Stroman is back, and he’s back big — at least to the degree a 5-foot-9 pitcher can be described as big. His first performance of the 2013 season certainly was. The 22-year-old Toronto Blue Jays prospect threw five scoreless innings, with six strikeouts, for Double-A New Hampshire on Sunday. Drafted 22nd-overall last year out of Duke, the right-hander saw his season start...

Romero Improves But Backtracks Late

For five innings Wednesday night, Ricky Romero appeared to return to his old self. The southpaw blazed through the Charlotte Knights lineup, allowing only one run on four hits through five innings. But then came the sixth… Just as in his prior two starts with the Bisons, Romero lost complete control of the strike zone, walking four consecutive batters to start the sixth before...

Anthony Gose Gets Surprise Promotion But Will He Play

The Toronto Blue Jays rewarded struggling prospect Anthony Gose with a promotion to the majors, a move that surprised Gose as much as anyone. Gose has been spinning his tires in Triple A with the Buffalo Bisons batting a modest .227 in 40 games for the herd. Gose initially did not think the promotion was real when he was informed of the call-up. Gose, on receiving call this morning...

Dickey leads Blue Jays past Rays

With every outing, R.A. Dickey feels he's getting closer to his Cy Young Award form of last season. Dickey won his second straight start, Edwin Encarnacion hit a tiebreaking, bases-loaded double in the seventh inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-5 Monday. ''I've felt like I've been stuck in a quagmire for the last week, two weeks,'...

Sean Nolin: Next Blue Jays Savior?

It’s been well documented that the Toronto Blue Jays’ season hasn’t exactly gone as planned. A rash of injuries to the veteran pitching staff has created a number of holes. Those gaps have been difficult to fill with competent contributors because the organizational depth was compromised in an effort to beef up the big league product. It’s been speculated in the Toronto media...

Anthony Gose Recalled by Toronto from AAA Buffalo

The Toronto Blue Jays recalled Anthony Gose from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, optioning relief pitcher Mickey Storey to Buffalo to make room for Gose on the 40-man roster. A second-round draft pick in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, Gose has been less than impressive in four seasons with Philadelphia and Toronto’s farm systems. Following a 56-game stint...

Toronto Blue Jays Recall Anthony Gose, Option Mickey Storey

Outfielder Anthony Gose has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo by the Toronto Blue Jays. Armed with a mix of solid speed and power, he is still pretty wet behind the ear and still will need some seasoning to become the type of major league hitter that is expected of him. To make room for the young hitter, Toronto has decided to option right-handed reliever Mickey Storey to the same...
