Police are looking for an inmate who escaped from a Toronto jail by allegedly impersonating another inmate who was to be released. Steven Alexander Guzman Marroquin, 32, of Toronto, allegedly escaped from the Toronto South Detention Centre in the area of Horner and Kipling Avenues on Monday just before noon, police said in a news release Tuesday. According to police, Marroquin impersonated another inmate who was due to be released from custody.

According to a statement issued by her lawyer, Neha Chugh, defence lawyer Sudine Riley finished a trial late on Friday and was catching up on legal work in an interview room when uniformed officers challenged her presence in that room. In her statement, Chugh said police, who were working as security, slammed Riley's head on the desk and put their knees on her back and neck, and spoke to her with rage, disrespect, and contempt.

With Seranthony Dominguez now off the market (and Bo Bichette long gone), Isiah Kiner-Falefa is arguably the best Toronto Blue Jays' player from the 2025 roster who remains lingering in free agency. Kiner-Falefa is among the most versatile utility players in the league, and now that players like Bichette, Jorge Polanco, Ha-Seong Kim, and Alex Bregman have all signed, he's one the best infielders still available.

A man is dead after he was shot several times in a commercial plaza in Vaughan on Monday in what police are calling a targeted incident. The shooting happened in the area of Weston Road and Colossus Drive, according to York Regional Police. Emergency personnel were called to the scene, which was outside a business, shortly after 1 p.m. York Region Paramedics said they took the man to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The other two free agents that stepped on the mound for the Jays in 2025 are Chad Green and Nick Sandlin. Green threw just 43.2 innings in 2025, giving up 14 home runs, the third-most for any reliever in baseball (and one behind Jeff Hoffman). Sandlin, acquired alongside Andrés Giménez, spent a large portion of the 2025 season injured and was outrighted after the end of the season, electing free agency.

The rumor mill continues to grind as the season hurtles towards the Olympic break. The prevailing chatter has focused on Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright. The former fourth-overall pick from the 2022 NHL Draft is reportedly on the trade block, as The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta first reported. This situation could provide an opportunity for the Maple Leafs to continue their roster turnover.

Hamber agreed the 12-year-old's death was beyond tragic but didn't agree with Frew that it was "prolonged." Earlier, Frew suggested the couple didn't want L.L. and his brother J.L. in therapy or to talk to children's services workers without them being there. Hamber says that was true at times, but she and Cooney weren't doing it to hide anything. Closing submissions are scheduled for March 23 and 27.

After a career year with the Blue Jays, catcher Alejandro Kirk has rightfully earned a spot inside the top 75 on MLB Network's "Top 100 Players Right Now" list, coming in at 74. Kirk's 2024, where he slashed .253/.319/.359 with a .677 OPS, did not live up to the standards that Blue Jays fans are used to, and he clearly proved that to be true during his bounce back 2025 campaign.

It's time one of the all-time greats of the Toronto Blue Jays franchise got his flowers. Carlos Delgado is a Hall of Famer, no doubt about it. But for whatever reason the voters just keep making the same mistakes and not bestowing said honor on Delgado. However, after Tuesday night's Hall of Fame vote, perhaps there is now finally a pathway and a willingness to right this wrong.

A 25-year-old Brampton man has been arrested in connection to a fatal assault at a Brampton parking lot last week, said Peel police. The man and a victim had a verbal dispute, which escalated into a fight, at a parking lot near Castlemore Road and McVean Drive on Jan. 12, said Peel Regional Police in a news release.

Springer rebounded from a rough 2024 season to post a .959 OPS and hit 32 home runs, to go with a .399 on-base percentage, 27 doubles in 140 games. He also scored 106 runs, the most Springer has scored in a season since his All-Star season in 2018 with Houston. He also had some big moments during the season, including a grand slam against the New York Yankees in a pivotal Canada Day win. The Blue Jays swept that four-game series and never let go of first place in the AL East.

The man charged with first-degree murder in a GO bus shooting near Yorkdale mall earlier this month was previously identified as a high-risk, high-needs offender with low reintegration potential, Parole Board of Canada documents obtained by CBC News reveal.
