Ross Atkins is in his 9th season as the General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays. Under Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays have failed to win a playoff game since 2016, when Ross inherited a World Series contending team from Tony Lacavo, but really it was Alex Anthopoulos who built this team from the ground up. Ross Atkins has made some great trades in the past, but it has not led to success for the Toronto Blue Jays organization. This season, he went full out on pitching and defense to limit as many runs as possible. So far, his plan has not panned out. We break down some of Ross Atkin’s biggest tran ..read more

The Toronto Blue Jays lose the series to the Kansas City Royals. The offense continued its consistency this season, they have consistently been horrible. In other news, Alek Manoah had an unbelievable start in Triple-A, striking out 12 and only walking three.

Would you go with Alek Manoah, Bowdin Francis, or Trevor Richards or would you go with someone else entirely? In this episode of Locked on Blue Jays, we do a deep ..read more

This was a Justin Turner legacy game, as he smashed 2 pull-side home runs over the left-field wall.

Yariel Rodriguez did not have his best stuff but fought hard to get through three and two-thir ..read more

The Toronto Blue Jays narrowly avoided a sweep against the Los Angeles Dodgers, losing the series 2-1. This offense stinks. Scoring seven runs in a three-game series is not going to be enough to beat one of the best offenses in the league. George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr are having horrible at-bats, serving as a black hole at the top of this lineup. John Schneider has shown time and time again that he is not capable of making the correct decisions to manage this baseball team. He refuses to change the lineup when the Blue Jays are 27th in the league in runs scored per ga ..read more

The Toronto Blue Jays made a huge move on Wednesday afternoon, calling up Addison Barger to the Major League Club. Addison Barger has played the infield his entire career, having limited reps in right field. This led the Toronto Blue Jays to stick Addison Barger in left field….. Addison Barger had some good at-bats but the scoresheet did not reflect that, as he went 0/4. John Schneider made several questionable decisions during this game, which ended up costing the Blue Jays once again, leaving Blue Jays fans to question more than ever if he can handle this role with the Toronto Blue Jays. Yar ..read more
