Biggest signing the Jays made in the last 24 hours

Is the Hall leaving out too many players? With the release of the 2021 Hall of Fame ballot earlier this month, our thoughts turned to the institution of the Hall itself, and particularly this question: Are enough players being inducted? Or to...

I wrote about Murakami's potential fit with the Jays, is the young slugger an option for the contact-heavy Jays Lineup?

I wrote about how Alejandro Kirk was absolutely snubbed for the Gold Glove, and why the Gold Glove system is flawed.

Standouts:

Jackson Wentworth
Trey Yesavage

Jackson Hornung

2024 5th Rounder Jackson Wentworth had his best start of his pro career on Tuesday. He went a career high 6 IP, allowing only three hits, 1 earned run, one walk, and struck out a career high 9 batters (20 whiffs!!!)
