The biggest risk the Blue Jays took during the off-season was at the back end of their bullpen. Through the first three-plus weeks of the regular season, that gamble appears to be paying off. The Jays knew last fall that they needed to plug holes in the starting rotation, middle relief and at designated hitter. One could have argued third base and left field required upgrades too. Then the front office decided to add one more item to its to-do list by non-tendering Jordan Romano.

WATERLOO—When Major League Baseball implemented Hawk-Eye technology in 2019, it was a game changer. The elaborate tracking system that uses high-resolution cameras to spit out advanced analytic data completely altered how we view and consume the sport. Hawk-Eye is the reason terms such as exit velocity and spin rate have become part of baseball’s everyday vocabulary. It’s the way home runs are tracked, arm strength is measured and pitches are identified.

By then, Rogers Communications had owned the Jays for 14 years. It had also been six years since his father Ted, the former president and chief executive offer of the company, passed away at the age of 75, leaving Edward and other members of the family in charge.

The Blue Jays might have gotten off to a decent start this season, but there are still signs that the issues plaguing this team over the last several years haven’t entirely gone away. Bad baserunning, a lack of execution with runners in scoring position and poorly timed miscues with the glove by an otherwise strong defensive team have been problems for a while, and 2025 might not be any different. What should have been a blowout win turned into a game the Jays gave away to a divisional rival.

Oh.
Jays were among teams in on Scott. Tough to compete with Dodgers these days, on field or off
The way the last 14 months have played out is just cruel and unusual punishment to #BlueJays fans. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like it.
