"He's certainly put himself among the top group of managers in the game.”

On Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider, whose team-option was picked up for 2026 and is currently in talks for a longer-term deal:

It's no secret that John Schneider entered the 2025 campaign on the hot seat. That couldn't be further from the truth months later, with the manager and the Blue Jays looking to wrap up an extension.

There’ll be talk of Bichette’s free agency.

“I want to be here,” he said, w/ Guerrero Jr. adding, “I’d love to finish my career playing with him but it's free agency, so he's got to do what he's got to do.”

Whatever happens, though, they both stepped up: www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Max Scherzer to Tyler Heineman during Game 6:

"'I'm in this situation right now where I can't ride the wave, the roller coaster of if we win today. I'm preparing like there is tomorrow, no matter what.'

“He’s real.”

Turns out Blue Jays' infield instructor Carlos Febles played a massive role in shaping the defensive side of Betts' game. Here's a closer look in a piece I wrote last year:

After Sunday's dominant performance, Blue Jays' closer Jeff Hoffman said he'll be ready for Game 7 and expects the same of his teammates:

Jeff Hoffman entered Game 6 in the 8th to face the heart of the Mariners’ lineup — Cal Raleigh, Jorge Polanco & Josh Naylor.

It was the exact same pocket of hitters who were due up in the fateful 8th of Game 5, when the Blue Jays' closer wasn't used.
