On Toronto's off day the Reed Sox won, so they trail by a half game.

Some minor leaguers announced their retirements.

Travis Bergen appeared in 22 games in the Bigs - 21 with the Giants and 1 with the Jays. He was originally drafted by Toronto back in 2015 but was claimed by the Giants in the Rule 5 draft in 2018. He was returned to the Jays late in the year and was traded to Arizona ten days later for Robbie Ray. The Jays got him back in early 21 for cash.

Colton Eastman made it as high as AAA. He was drafted by the Phillies in 2028 and came to the Jays as part of the Joel Payamps trade in 2021.

Marcus Walden appeared in 97 games for the Red Sox from 2018 to 2022. After his tenure with Boston ended, he signed a minor league deal with the Marlins before moving to the Blue Jays a few days later as part of the Luis Madero trade.

Cre Finrock never got out of the low minors. He was drafted by the Jays in 2018.

Jake Meyers got as high as AAA. He was drafted by the Astros in 2017 and traded to the Jays as part of the Alec Mills deal in 2022.

Luke Gillingham never advanced past the low minors. He was drafted by the Jays in 2016.

Connor Law also never moved up from the low levels. He was signed as an amateur free agent by Toronto in 2017.

Jeff Allen had a similar story, signing as an amateur free agent in 2021.
