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
Alex Anthopoulos had the kind of off-season that could lay the groundwork for Hall of Fame recognition in 20 years or so, or it could be one of those inspired efforts that didn't quite pan out. All of that remains to be decided on the diamond but of all the moves the Blue Jays GM made in the off-season, the most impactful ones revolve around the starting rotation. 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.

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. But, as Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 writes, there are still some questions. ...more
It's been more than eight years since the Expos left Montreal, and no baseball team has moved since. But recently baseball commissioner Bud Selig talked about the poor attendance that the Tampa Bay Rays draw. Could bringing baseball back to Montreal work the second time 'round? TSN's Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
Could the Toronto Blue Jays be interested in one of the few big name free agents left on the market; speedy centre fielder Michael Bourn? The rumour, while interesting, doesn't make too much sense from a Jays standpoint. TSN Radio 1050 broadcaster Scott Ferguson has more. ...more
Scott Ferguson of TSN Radio 1050 put together an entire team of players from the Toronto Blue Jays, past and present, made up entirely of players named Dave or David. From dave Stieb to Dave Winfield, it's an impressive lineup that only lacks a catcher. ...more
