BLUE JAYS RUMORS & GOSSIP
The 5 Worst Trades Made By Toronto Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos
As I peer out my window fixated on the ever growing pile of snow that I will soon be forced to shovel, I begin to ponder the potential acquisitions the Toronto Blue Jays could make to solidify their roster for the upcoming baseball campaign. My thoughts carry me to my third base line seat at the Rogers Centre reminiscing of fresh peanuts and $10 adult beverages reflecting on the...

Talking shop with MLB Network's Mark DeRosa: "I want to be great at something else"
During his 16 seasons with eight different MLB teams, Mark DeRosa developed a reputation as a leader in the clubhouse and a sounding board for both veterans and younger players alike. After playing part-time for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013, DeRosa, 38 and a father of two, made the decision to retire and join MLB Network as its newest former-player-turned-talking-head.

Ryan Goins: Journey To The MLB Interview
Ryan Goins figures to make the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays
I recently had the privilege of interviewing Toronto Blue Jays 2nd basemen, Ryan Goins. Goins played in 34 games this season with the Blue Jays and figures to open the 2014 season with the major league club barring any major roster acquisitions. The following answers reveal the journey to the majors for Goins and the impactful...

Blue Jays Make Savvy Move with Addition of Tomo Ohka
Believe it or not, the Toronto Blue Jays have been virtually upbraided (as in upbraided in a virtual space, the upbraiding has really occurred, I assure you) for their recent signing of former major leaguer Tomo Ohka.
Ohka last pitched in the majors in 2009 and during his 10 year career in the bigs was less than inspiring for the fanbases of the 6 teams he played for. Ohka’s only...

Winter Meetings Recap: Toronto Blue Jays
The MLB Winter Meetings have come and gone much to the dismay of Toronto Blue Jays fans. The Jays were one of the more dormant teams in regards to team altering transactions or signings during their stay in Florida but not for a lack of trying. I am the first to admit that I become rather impatient when the competition are shelling out cash improving their squads while the Jays...

Blue Jays sign Tomo Ohka to minor league deal
Tomo Ohka has not pitched at the major league level since 2009 but the Toronto Blue Jays will give the right hander a chance to prove himself.
Ohka, 37, is attempting a comeback as a knuckleballer. Previously he had some success in the majors but had fallen all the way to the Independent level last season.
One of the things the Blue Jays liked about Ohka was his ability to throw...

Blue Jays have some potential trade offers on table
The deals are there.
The Blue Jays can make them — for either a starting pitcher or a position player — if they choose to take one step forward for improvement and one giant leap for 2014.
“We have some things we can do, things we can say yes to,” Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos told reporters on Wednesday afternoon at the 112th winter meetings at the Disney Swan...

Blue Jays shopping Colby Rasmus for starting pitching
Bob Elliott cuts to the chase in the Toronto Sun:
Colby Rasmus is on the market and has been offered to two teams by the Blue Jays for starting pitching.
Toronto probably wants a good, cost-controlled starter in return for the 27-year-old Rasmus, who had an .840 OPS, 22 homers and 66 RBI in 118 games this summer. He’s a strong defensive center fielder and only expected to get...

2013 fluke or future - Colby Rasmus
Would you believe me if I told you that Colby Rasmus' slugging percentage was only seven points lower than McCutchen in 2013? Would you believe me if I told you that he had a more valuable season than Adam Jones? How about if I told you that he had a better defensive season than Span, Ellsbury, Blanco and McCutchen? I would not blame you if you would not have believed any of...

Toronto Blue Jays
2013 Record: 74-88, Last place AL East
2014 Prediction: 5th place AL East
With the other teams in the A.L. East, it will be very difficult for Toronto to finish above last place in the standings. Luckily for them, Toronto has almost its entire roster locked up for at least the next two seasons. And already have a full slate of pitchers under contract for next season...

Blue Jays explain decision to cut Arencibia
Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos wasn't determined to part ways with catcher J.P. Arencibia after the former first round pick suffered through a career-worst season in 2013.
But after reaching an agreement Monday on a two-year, $8 million deal with former All-Star Dioner Navarro, Toronto decided not to offer Arencibia a contract for 2014, making him a free agent.

Steamer Projects: Toronto Blue Jays Prospects
Earlier today, polite and Canadian and polite Marc Hulet published his 2014 organizational prospect list for the Toronto Blue Jays.
It goes without saying that, in composing such a list, Hulet has considered the overall future value those prospects might be expected to provide either to the Jays or whatever other organizations to which they might someday belong.

2014 Top 10 Prospects: Toronto Blue Jays
This Top 10 (+5) list is the weakest collection of prospects that Toronto has had in the minors for quite a while now. Most of the talent is in A-ball or Rookie ball with a noticeable lack of depth at the upper levels, thanks to the 2012-13 trades that were supposed to turn the Jays into a winning club. On a positive note, there are quite a few players — including many who failed...
