The "unidentified object" first seen as a large anomaly in 2017 during a fibre-optic cable survey on the bottom of Lake Ontario from Buffalo to Toronto caught the attention of Trent University archeologist James Conolly, who was hoping to study an undisturbed wreck. Based on archival records, the vessel was initially thought to be the Rapid City, a two-masted schooner built in 1884 and used as a stonehooker, until it was lost in 1917.

The final date that teams can add internal players to the roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft is set for November 18th, just a few days away. Last year, Toronto decided to protect nobody and selected Angel Bastardo, who spent the entire season on the IL while he rehabbed from Tommy John surgery. The only casualty from the Jays' side was Garrett Spain, who was taken in the Minor League portion by the Milwaukee Brewers.

A 26-year-old Brampton man is dead after a crash on Highway 401 involving two commercial vehicles east of Woodstock, Ont., police say. Emergency crews were called to the two-vehicle crash in the eastbound lanes of the highway at Oxford Road 29 in Drumbo at around 7 a.m., according to Ontario Provincial Police.

A sixth person has been charged in connection with a protest at a private Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) student group event involving Israeli soldiers last week, in which a group allegedly forced entry inside, Toronto police say.

"The first time in 32 years, I was hoping it would end like that this past World Series. I was ready to give up my crown, I really was. I was ready to relinquish it. I had held it for 32 years ... man, it was this close, this close," Carter said.

Acquiring Skubal would give any team a new ace. However, since the Tigers need an "overwhelming" offer, it seems unlikely that any team would make a move this off-season. For the Toronto Blue Jays, it would mean giving up Trey Yesavage and a metric ton more. While Skubal is an ace, his impending free agency will make teams cautious to trade for him if they can just sign him next autumn.

The Chicago Cubs declined to pick up a three-year option on Imanaga's contract, which triggered Imanaga's player option (which he also declined), officially making him a free agent. He went 9-8 with a 3.73 ERA across 25 starts in Chicago this past season. While the Blue Jays did use Eric Lauer and Easton Lucas as left-handed starters in 2025, the team spent most of the year without a consistent left-handed presence in the rotation.

In one message read by Sheiban, Hamber said the older boy was unhealthy and had an eating disorder. It should be a red flag, but I can't speak as to why it wasn't, Potts said. It is obvious [he] is underweight and does not look healthy, Sheiban said in quoting Hamber. The lawyer then argued: This should have been a red flag. Yes, Potts responded.

Left-handed relief pitching prospect Kai Peterson was named to the American League roster and will participate in the 19th annual edition of the showcase on Sunday at Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. Peterson has recorded a 7.36 ERA with eight strikeouts and eight walks over 7 1/3 innings, but had a successful minor-league season, pitching to a 3.04 ERA with 61 strikeouts and 29 walks over 50 1/3 innings split between High-A Vancouver and Double-A New Hampshire.

An Ontario Grade 8 teacher who used Snapchat to send and solicit nude pictures from former students has pleaded guilty to luring and child pornography charges.

The victims were named as teenage boys who'd been Jennings' students.

Two people are facing murder and arson charges in relation to a Richmond Hill house fire that killed an 11-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman, according to police.

The collision happened just before 7 p.m. near Markham Road and Finch Avenue E., when a pick-up truck crashed in an industrial area, police said on X, formerly Twitter.

All but one of Toronto Water's projects completed between January 2020 and March 2025 was finished later than originally planned, according to a new report from the city's auditor general that lays out several issues in the way the city's sewer system is kept in working shape. In those five years, there were 18 projects overseen by the city division, largely concerning sewer infrastructure upkeep.
