In a moment of candid self-assessment, Toronto Blue Jays star shortstop Bo Bichette expressed a willingness to sacrifice for the team. “I haven’t done anything, really, to produce and we’ve struggled as a team,” he told MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson, “I think it’s the right time to switch things up.
Bo Bichette has got off to an ice-cold first month of the season, wrestling with a .577 OPS through the first 28 games of the year. It’s important to note that it’s early, as the 26-year-old shortstop’s numbers are bound to improve as the weather warms up.
When people point to the Toronto Blue Jays’ offensive struggles this season, three players have been keyed on. George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and Bo Bichette.
The status quo persists in Blue Jays land, where Toronto’s beloved squad has continued its magnificently average pace. Now 15-15, the Blue Jays are knee-deep in a rivalry with the Royals (which I love), but big-picture problems are all too real.
The Toronto Blue Jays are keeping Bo Bichette out of the lineup for Monday’s game against the Kansas City Royals. While the Blue Jays haven’t indicated that Bichette has an injury or dealing with an illness, so his absence from the starting lineup for Monday’s series opener likely amounts to a maintenance day.
The Toronto Blue Jays are off to a tough start to the 2024 season, sitting at the bottom of the American League East with a 13-14 record. In every single area, this ball club is struggling.
The 2024 MLB season is still young, but there are several teams that have had less than ideal starts, and the Toronto Blue Jays are one such team. While
Bo Bichette's three-run triple led the Toronto Blue Jays past the host Kansas City Royals, 5-3, on Monday evening. The Blue Jays took a 3-0 lead in the third after a pair of walks and Cavan Biggio's opposite-field double loaded the bases.
There is still room in the game for umpire personality, which can best be expressed on a looking strike three call. Umpires have been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons.
In front of the once again newly-renovated Rogers Centre for the first time this season, the Blue Jays won their first series of the 2024 season during a three-game tilt against the Seattle Mariners.
When Bo Bichette looks for power hits, he tends to struggle. Despite getting two hits on Opening Day, the Toronto Blue Jays shortstop only managed one hit in the following five games.
When Bo Bichette swings for the fences, good things don't happen. After getting a pair of hits on Opening Day, the Toronto Blue Jays shortstop went 1-for-21 over the next five games.
For the first time in 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays are on a winning streak. After winning their Home Opener by a score of 5-2 over the Seattle Mariners, the Blue Jays made it two in a row with a 5-3 victory on Tuesday.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Toronto Blue Jays have been hot and cold in hitting with runners-in-scoring-position. That was a key deficiency with last year’s offence, which finished tied for 12th in AVG (.260) and 14th in wRC+ (102) but 23rd in SLG (.390) across the majors.
Back home and back in the win column. On Monday evening, the Blue Jays played their first home game of the season, hosting the Seattle Mariners and defeating them 5-2.
After being no-hit and one-hit in a matter of three days last week, the Blue Jays hoped to find a little more success in the Bronx over the weekend. A tie-breaking and ultimately game-winning home run from Ernie Clement led them to a victory on Friday, but the final two games of the series were filled with “There it goes!

To find the last time the New York Yankees suffered a shutout loss in a home opener, one has to flip the calendar back to 1967. It was on April 14th of that year when the Bronx Bombers hosted the Boston Red Sox at Yankees stadium, falling 3-0.

Here's one trade and one signing the Blue Jays should make this offseason.

Blue Jays fans cringed in collective fashion when both Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman exited Sunday’s game due to injuries.
