- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays have reached agreement on a $500-million, 14-yr extension that’s pending a physical, according to an industry source. There is no deferred money in the looming deal, making it the second richest contract in terms of present value in MLB.
- Blue Jays deal for Matt Chapman is done. Kevin Smith, Gunnar Hoglund, Zach Logue and Kirby Snead are headed to Athletics, per source.
- Atlanta knocks off Houston to secure the crown and Alex Anthopoulos is the first Canadian general manager to win a World Series.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr., is the first Blue Jays player to be named all-star game MVP.
- I went to the spot where Addison Barger’s double got wedged into the wall. There’s so little give and the padding is so tight to the turf, a ball would have to hit exactly the right spot at the right angle with enough force to get stuck. So unlikely and the timing is crazy.
- Flyover by two CF18 Hornets at the end of the anthem was a first at a Blue Jays game.O Canada live from the Rogers Centre on Canada Day will always give us chills 🇨🇦
00:00 - Hyun-Jin Ryu: "I like winning and I came here to win."
- Customs agent: Where are you headed? Me: Las Vegas. Agent: Purpose? Me: Baseball’s winter meetings. Agent: OK. (Pause) Bring Joey Votto back to Canada. Me: Will it impact my chances for entry if I tell you that’s probably not going to happen?
- “It’s the most exciting play in sports when Kirky scores from first," said John Schneider.
- Alejandro Kirk said X-Rays on his hand showed no fracture and that he’ll be ready to play tomorrow.
- Charlie Montoyo said Alejandro Kirk dropped his PitchCom speaker between the eighth and ninth innings, Red Sox manager Alex Cora picked it up and brought it to the Blue Jays dugout before T9 started. He appreciated Cora doing that and wanted to recognize him for it.
