RHP Tanner Andrews, RHP Nate Garkow, and RHP Chay Yeager have been reassigned to Minor League camp.

Addison Barger just hit a home run off ... the big picture of himself on the #BlueJays' video board:

'Half-robot' Kasevich emerging as prospect to watch in Blue Jays camp DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Each camp has its darling, a tradition stretching back a half-century in Dunedin. Some years, a star is born. Other years, fool’s gold is dug up from the dirt and soon forgotten. Addi...

Each Spring Training has its darling.

It's Josh Kasevich's turn, the "half-robot" who has all of the right people talking about him like a big-leaguer in #BlueJays camp.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just hit a two-run homer for the Dominican Republic in the WBC.

#BlueJays probables coming up:

Monday: OFF
Tuesday: Cease
Wednesday: Lauer
Thursday: Berríos
Friday: Ponce
Saturday: Scherzer

Trey Yesavage is throwing today back in #BlueJays camp, then they’ll decide on next steps from there as they try to manage his workload early on.

Could be a live BP, could be a Minor League game, could be a big-league game.

A 41-year-old firing 4 no-hit frames? Must be Mad Max CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Typically, Spring Training buzz is reserved for the top prospects, the new guys, the players half Max Scherzer’s age. There’s never been anything typical about Scherzer, though, an...

There’s been some buzz around Max Scherzer down here in Dunedin.

Today, we saw why:

Max Scherzer's 2026 spring debut with the #BlueJays:

4 IP • 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Fastball averaged 94.0 mph and touched 95.8. Everything about it was encouraging.

Max Scherzer is sitting 94-96 mph here in the first inning.

It's March, it's early, etc... but that's a great sign. #BlueJays

Schneider on Myles Straw's role

"If you’d told me that he was going to play 137 games this time last year, I may have disagreed with you, but he handles his role well and keeps things running in the clubhouse the way they should. It will be more of the same this year.” #BlueJays

John Schneider on he and Pete Walker watching Max Scherzer early in camp:

"Pleasantly surprised with his locations, velo, and the shape of his breaking ball. It’s ahead of where it was last year, for sure, at this time." #BlueJays

The Blue Jays used a revamped pitching dev outfit to create a World Series starter in Trey Yesavage and trade for contributors with their depth. This year, I’m interested in the high-end bats — namely Nimmala, Parker and Sanchez.

John Schneider was happy to see "gramps" again.

There's still a puzzle to put together, but Monday morning, the #BlueJays were just happy to see the same old Max Scherzer. Story:
