Why don’t we all give a round of applause for the Vegas Golden Knights. Wow, what a great season it’s been! Proving all the doubters wrong. Incredible. Just remarkable, wow! Alright, now everyone shut up. I’ve had enough of all of this “success” and if you’re a fan of virtually any other franchise in the league, you should be fed

There’s no better way to take the wind out of your sails like a deflating 6-1 loss on Opening Day. A five run loss isn’t quite a complete demolition job by any means. But the fact that the Jays only mustered two hits while the Yankees wracked up 11 hits and 24 total bases makes me feel fortunate that they

A Josh Donaldson Contract Extension The Bringer of Rain is pretty much all but gone when his contract expires at the end of this season. That is if the Jays don’t trade him first. Considering it is the first time that the 2015 AL MVP will get to test unrestricted free agency, don’t expect Donaldson to come cheap. It has

Before I get into this, I just want to say that I really hope I’m wrong. I hope that when these two finally step in the ring together that we get to see one of the best fights in recent memory. But we were all expecting big things a few years ago when Mayweather took on Manny Pacquiao back in

Well this sucks. ICYMI: An inside look at the fruitless negotiations between #BlueJays, Encarnacion https://t.co/kttkUljoZp Via @ShiDavidi pic.twitter.com/UQV8GIiqMA — Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) December 24, 2016 My initial reaction to the news was one of doom and gloom. “Who are these clowns running the team?!” “Why doesn’t Edwin realize that no one will love him like Toronto?!” “NBA playoffs, MLB playoffs, MLB

Superlatives MVP: Josh Donaldson No surprise here. Donaldson has been the team’s MVP since he first stepped on the Rogers Center’s tire-rubber turf at the beginning of last season. He was the American League MVP in 2015 and has not missed a single beat this season. Josh has been the second-most valuable batter in the MLB based on Fangraphs’ Wins Above

I’m going to start this off with a not-that-hot of a take: the 2016 season will be Jose Bautista’s last as a Blue Jay. Too many people are too skittish to actually say it out loud and many live in a dream world where David Price is still on the Jays. I just don’t see a match for a contract

While he hasn’t made a move yet, Raptors GM Masai Ujiri has been in the middle of many of the trade rumours that have been circulating before Thurday’s trade deadline. It’s no surprise to hear that the Raptors are looking to make a deal seeing as they are the second best team in the East despite the DeMarre Carroll-sized hole

When the Raptors drafted Bruno Caboclo 20th overall in 2014 it took everyone by surprise. He was famously labelled as being “2 years away from being 2 years away”. At the time many people, including myself, didn’t understand why the Raptors didn’t wait to draft him with their second round pick or even trade down. But after seeing flashes of his
