Imagine a Toronto Maple Leafs team that actually won something.The baseball version won everything in site in 1926, christening their new lakefront stadium.There was plenty of baseball before the Blue Jays; you can learn about a slice of it in my new book.

SWR has struggled mightily for the Twins.
Buffalo pitching coach Drew Hayes has a new project.

Alejandro Kirk draws a five pitch walk in his first rehab AB for Dunedin. Blaine Bullard hit a majestic HR to RF ahead of him.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Jonatan Clase, who missed almost a month with a leg injury earlier this season, was removed from Buffalo’s game today after pulling up lame chasing a flyball.

@ShiDavidi I asked Cook today if he had the green light.
“Yep!” he said before I even had finished asking.

Juan Sanchez’ bat is coming around. Hit two HR last night, has a hit in 11 of his last 13 games, going 20-53 (.377 average).

Depending on what happens with the rehabbers, Josh Fleming has probably added his name to the mix next week after his strong outing against the Woo Sox today.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Just got off the phone with Jake Cook, Jays 3rd round pick last year. We talked about the adjustments he’s made, learning to use his speed on the basepaths (the org has given him the green light), and his time at a running lab. A bright kid, he first considered med school.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

I'll be on @FAN590 with @BlakeMurphyODC at 11 this morning to talk about as many of your favourite Blue Jays prospects as we possibly can.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@lumathrax @ElQueNoNacio @Dale_Chu @chronicle Reading is anything but painful. You should give it a try.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@McCaughanToTor They probably were, but I like to have fun.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

The Jays have had success with several HS pitchers they convinced to forego college committments like Johnny King, Gage Stanifer, and Nolan Perry. Carson Messina, a 12th round pick in 2024 who has had injury issues to start his career, seems to be getting on track in the FCL.

Vancouver RHP Jack Eshelman, recently promoted from Dunedin, is the first player from D3 Hamilton College to ever sign a professional baseball contract.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

9 Giants Top 30 prospects in the lineup today, seeing Perry for the second time this week. Struggling a bit with command of all his pitches - FB, Curve, Gyro Slider (he learned in rehab), and the occasional Splitter he admits he’s “just trying not to spike.”

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

Nolan Perry gives up a leadoff single followed by a 2-run oppo shot before going GBO, K, K.

[D.M. Fox @DMFox705]

@AndrewStoeten He’s a tech guy. ‘Nuff said.

Three scoreless innings for Mad Max in a rehab start for Buffalo today.
Retired the side in order in the 1st and 3rd. 0 hits, 2 BB, 4 K. Touched 94, showed command of all if his pitches.

@JakeRadford95 @afkostka Using his glove to shade his eyes from the sun while he looks into the stands?
