Blue Jays draftee Chase Brunson ranks on MLB Pipeline's recent top 100 draft list

With their first-round pick, they selected Arjun Nimmala 20th overall. The shortstop is currently their third-best prospect, only behind Trey Yesavage and JoJo Parker. Landen Maroudis, Jace Bohrofen, Sam Shaw, and Grant Rogers all could be ranked in their top 30, while their 20th-round pick, Kai Peterson, looks like the real deal. There were a handful of prospects that didn't sign after being drafted, more than normal.

But that's exactly when the Toronto Blue Jays will kick off their American League title defense in 2026. The club recently announced that their day game home opener, has now become a night game, but that's not the only change.

Blue Jays sign International Free Agent prospect Alieski Torres

On Thursday morning, Francys Romero reported that the Toronto Blue Jays have signed Cuban right-handed pitcher Alieski Torres for $200,000. Torres, 18, sits in the low 90s with his fastball and tops out at 94 mph. He also features a changeup and slider. The Jays have signed quite a few pitchers out of Cuba in the past few seasons. In May 2022, they signed Rafael Sánchez, who has progressed to the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

Braves News: Danny Young signed, Spencer Strider review, and more

The Atlanta Braves made a minor move (literally) on Tuesday morning, signing left-hander Danny Young to a one-year, split deal. The 31-year-old was previously with the New York Mets, who recently outrighted him, giving Atlanta the opportunity to pick him up. He did undergo Tommy John surgery in May, so he won't be on the mound at the beginning of the season.

Examining Bowden Francis's place on the 2026 Blue Jays

Francis struggled mightily in 2025. The right-hander recorded a 6.05 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 14 ineffective starts before landing on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement in June that sidelined him until the end of the year. Much of the damage done against Francis came via the long ball; he allowed a staggering 19 home runs in just 64 innings pitched.

Report: Blue Jays, Marlins among teams interested in Pete Fairbanks

Holiday bargain shoppers alert: right-hander Pete Fairbanks may not be available for much longer. Fairbanks, whose $11 million player option ($1 million buyout) was declined by the Tampa Bay Rays ahead of last month's non-tender deadline, has garnered interest from several post-season contenders this off-season, including the Toronto Blue Jays, as The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo report. That should come as no surprise, considering the Blue Jays had been connected to all three of Ryan Helsley, Raisel Iglesias and Phil Maton

Blue Jays: Dylan Cease signing doesn't change Eric Lauer's value

He exceeded all expectations for that contract, posting a 3.18 ERA (134 ERA+) and 1.108 WHIP across 28 appearances. The lefty stepped into the rotation early in the year when the Blue Jays desperately needed quality innings, then moved to the bullpen following the return of Max Scherzer and the acquisition of Shane Bieber. He remained in that role through the playoffs, where he threw four-and-two-thirds scoreless frames against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 18-inning marathon that was game three of the World Series.
