Lately, there have been plenty of stories projecting possible Cy Young and MVP winners this season. That made Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 wonder how winning these awards correlates to World Series victories and even just World Series appearances. The results are surprising. ...more
Earlier this week, former Blue Jays catcher and now Cardinals manager Mike Matheny suggested that home plate collisions should be banned from baseball. Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 disagrees when it comes to close plays and harkens back to one of the most memorable plays in Blue Jays history. ...more
Over the last couple of weeks, we've heard talk that the Leafs and Raptors both want to host their respective leagues' All-Star games in the next few years. It could very well happen, and TSN Radio 1050's Scott Ferguson thinks the Blue Jays should try to make it a trifecta. ...more
Alex Anthopoulos has often called the Tampa Bay Rays one of the best run organizations in baseball, if not the best. That made it all the more curious when the Rays went out and picked up the Blue Jays' old double play tandem of Kelly Johnson and Yunel Escobar in the off-season. ...more
Over the history of Major League baseball, only 17 third basemen have made it into the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. That is the fewest number of any position, including pitchers. But today, there is a deeper pool of third basemen then there has been in years. Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 has more. ...more

Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
If you're anything like me, you're a sucker for a long shot comeback story. I was looking over the list of non-roster players the Toronto Blue Jays have invited to Spring Training at Dunedin, and saw David Bush. Wouldn't it be something if he made it back to the "bigs" with his original team nearly eight years after being dealt away. ...more
The Orioles had an incredible season last year. They finished at 93-69, and went 29-9 in one-run games - which just happens to be the top winning percentage (.763) in the modern era. Still, if you compare the O's starting pitching to the Blue Jays you'd be incredulous that Baltimore finished 20 games ahead of Toronto in the AL East. Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 has more. ...more
While we should be getting excited about the World Baseball Classic and spring training, performance-enhancing drugs and steroids have dominated the headlines this week. One particular story didn't get very much play in these parts; a memorabilia dealer attempting to get Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes to testify under oath what he knew about any relationship former Blue Jay Carlos Delgado might have had with Dr. Anthony Galea, who was an alleged proponent of human growth hormone. ...more
On the surface, spring training for the Toronto Blue Jays looks like it's going to be quiet and routine. With all the acquisitions GM Alex Anthopoulos made over the off-season, you could almost pick the roster man-for-man right now.
