"Conservation is a team sport," says DeJong, "We need more players and now are hoping that naming these two animals after our beloved Blue Jays provides us with another way to get the community excited about two of our city's great passions - baseball and conservation."
It wasn't the news the Blue Jays were hoping to get regarding someone they considered to be a key piece to the back end of the rotation. The 35-year-old right hander had produced solid numbers in his 22 appearances for the 2025 Blue Jays. He posted a 3.86 ERA in 21 innings pitched. He gave up just 13 hits, while striking out 25 hitters. He produced a 1.190 WHIP and hitters only managed a .224 BABIP against him.
It's game recognizing game. Celebrating Black Managerial Excellence In The Majors.

The Blue Jays open the season on Thursday, March 26 at home against the Athletics. After an off-day on Friday, the series resumes for two more games on Saturday and Sunday. The Colorado Rockies are in town for three games, before Toronto goes on the road for the first time, with a quick three game stop in Chicago to play the White Sox.
The Toronto Blue Jays made some drastic moves to upgrade their pitching staff at the trade deadline by adding former CY Young winner Shane Bieber and solid relievers Louis Varland and Seranthony Domínguez. It helped expand the Blue Jays' pitching depth by pushing everyone back a rung or two. But you can never have enough pitching depth, ever, and the Miami Marlins recently placed Cal Quantrill on outright waivers. Should the Blue Jays take a flyer on one of Canada's very own?
News: Eric Lauer will be available out of the #BlueJays' bullpen this weekend. "This is not a [permanent] move to the bullpen," John Schneider reiterated. This sounds like a flexible situation that could change week to week, but Lauer gets the first bump.- Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) August 20, 2025
The Toronto Blue Jays, for the most part, must be happy so far with the moves they made at the Trade Deadline. Veteran first baseman Ty France has seamlessly infused himself into the Jays' offensive lineup while reliever Louis Varland has become an integral part of their bullpen. More importantly, their biggest acquisition in former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber has looked great in his rehab outings and is set to make his debut for Toronto later this week.
The Blue Jays won both of their three game sets this week, taking care of the Cubs and the Rangers and going 4-2 overall. This week featured a little bit of everything we've seen from Toronto this season: Thrilling come from behind wins? Check (2-1 vs Chicago on Thursday, 6-5 vs Texas on Friday) Offensive explosions? Check (14-2 vs Texas on Saturday) Unexpected performances? Check (Myles Straw hitting two home runs) Dominant stretches from the rotation and the bullpen? Check (Scherzer throws seven innings of one run ball).
Blake Snell delivered a dominant performance against the Toronto Blue Jays, achieving a season-high 10 strikeouts in five scoreless innings, helping secure a 9-1 win for the Dodgers.
Kevin Gausman stands out due to his effective use of a two-pitch arsenal. He often throws his fastball low in the zone to set up his splitter, strategically manipulating hitter's expectations.
