Yu Darvish, 39, considered an icon among Japanese players who have followed him to MLB, has informed the San Padres that he is retiring. He is walking away from the $43 million left in the next 3 years of his contract, as Kevin Acee reports.

While you’re out there boxing, wouldn’t it be great to have some @davebidini.bsky.social in your ear?

Sure,you can listen to his music, but it’s so much more fun to listen to him talk #Bluejays with me!

A hearty mazel tov to David S. Popkins!

#Bluejays hitting coach has been named @baseballamerica.com #MLB Coach Of The Year!
David Popkins' approach to hitting is all about finding solutions.

If you identify what the true issue is and you take a little bit from everywhere, you’re able to help more people.

Bringing this approach to the Blue Jays and the transformational results made him our MLB Coach of the Year.

Carlos Delgado received 9 of 16 votes from the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee, leaving him three votes shy of the threshold (12) to be elected to the Hall of Fame.

Delgado’s candidacy has life and must continue to be discussed going forward. #BlueJays

Next steps for Yariel Rodriguez:

• he remains in the Blue Jays’ organization as of now

• barring a change would arrive at spring training & attempt to earn a job like any non-roster player

• if the Blue Jays want to, they can select his contract onto the 40-man again

The Blue Jays placed lefty Easton Lucas on unconditional release waivers today.

Per source, he's expected to sign with a foreign pro team once he clears waivers.

If this season is lost, I don't know because I don't know how long our top players are going to be out, but if it is lost, do you trust Treliving with handling a re-tool/re-build?
