An off-season of change continued for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday as the team dealt catcher Russell Martin to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a pair of minor-league prospects. The move came a month after the Blue Jays gave another high-priced veteran — shortstop Troy Tulowitzki — his release. Like the Tulowitzki decision, Toronto […]
If Monday's game marked the last for Marco Estrada in a Blue Jays uniform, he wasn't pleased with how it ended. Estrada, who'll become a free agent at the end of the season, allowed four runs on seven hits — including two solo homers — as the Blue Jays fell 5-3 to the Houston Astros […]
Josh Donaldson admits it's tough to say goodbye to the Toronto Blue Jays. “It’s … been difficult to the extreme that I am leaving an organization that I was very much a big part of,” the new Cleveland Indians third baseman said Sunday in an introductory press conference after a trade on Friday. "I had […]
The Toronto Blue Jays decided moving Josh Donaldson now was a better idea than holding onto a star third baseman with an uncertain future.

The Toronto Blue Jays traded two relief pitchers for prospects before Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline, sending long-serving left-hander Aaron Loup to the Philadelphia Phillies and Canadian right-hander John Axford to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Toronto general manager Ross Atkins says competitive baseball teams are increasingly less willing to part with top prospects when they tool up for a playoff run. So while the Blue Jays didn't get a blue-chip minor leaguer when they traded veteran left-hander J.A. Happ to the New York Yankees, Atkins was pleased to get a […]
Marcus Stroman switched up his warm-up music for his Wednesday start, using Drake's "Trophies" as a tribute to former teammate Jose Bautista. Bautista, who used "Trophies" as his walk-up music during Toronto's playoff-bound seasons in 2015 and 2016, may have benefited more from hearing it than Stroman did. The former Blue Jays slugger drove in the eventual winning run and […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are going to enjoy Monday's day off after all.

"This takes some pressure off all of us," Smoak said. "Every one […]
