Cool
a rough stretch

Not a great stretch. A 1-5 week weighs heavy on the score. Making it worse, last night's 3-run loss is fresh and it shows.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays have hit a rough patch, suffering their fifth straight loss last night against the Texas Rangers, dropping to 39-44 and now 2.0 games behind Texas in the AL wildcard race. Kevin Gausman’s recent struggles have become a glaring issue, allowing four or more runs in all but one of his June starts, raising urgency for a trade in search of a more consistent starting pitcher. While the losses mount, the front office is looking ahead to the 2026 draft, where they’ll have to navigate the consequences of past trades, including the loss of their second-round pick for signing Gausman. With a chaotic week that saw the team falter on the field and shuffle players like Hayden Juenger off the roster, the Jays need to regroup quickly to reignite their playoff hopes.

The 2026 Major League Baseball draft is just around the corner. After picking eighth overall in the 2025 draft, the Toronto Blue Jays’ first selection on July 11th will be the 39th overall pick.
