2024 Toronto Blue Jays (est. 2021) - Page 3

rpriske · 02-10-2026, 10:35 AM

March 15th, 2024

The Jays are much less concerned with a 6-5 loss in 18 innings to the Angels than they are concerned with the effect of an 18 inning game on the players.

Two relievers left the game with ailments. We are told Justin Wilson will be fine, but there is more concern about Jackson Rees.

WP - Trevor May (3-0)

March 16th, 2024

Rafael Devers went 3 for 4 with a home run as the Jays beat the Yankees, 9-2, to wrap up their Spring schedule.

Jayden Sharpe came up to help out a tired bullpen and proceeded to retire all nine batters he faced. He wasn't in the roster picture, but now, he just might be.

Bo Bichette and Giancarlo Stanton both homered for Toronto.

WP - Zach Davies (2-0)

FINAL SPRING RECORD - 20-8

Best Spring record in MLB.
