Anthony Gose Gets Surprise Promotion But Will He Play
The Toronto Blue Jays rewarded struggling prospect Anthony Gose with a promotion to the majors, a move that surprised Gose as much as anyone. Gose has been spinning his tires in Triple A with the Buffalo Bisons batting a modest .227 in 40 games for the herd. Gose initially did not think the promotion was real when he was informed of the call-up.
Gose, on receiving call this morning...
Sean Nolin: Next Blue Jays Savior?
It’s been well documented that the Toronto Blue Jays’ season hasn’t exactly gone as planned. A rash of injuries to the veteran pitching staff has created a number of holes. Those gaps have been difficult to fill with competent contributors because the organizational depth was compromised in an effort to beef up the big league product. It’s been speculated in the Toronto media...
Anthony Gose Recalled by Toronto from AAA Buffalo
The Toronto Blue Jays recalled Anthony Gose from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, optioning relief pitcher Mickey Storey to Buffalo to make room for Gose on the 40-man roster.
A second-round draft pick in the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, Gose has been less than impressive in four seasons with Philadelphia and Toronto’s farm systems.
Following a 56-game stint...
Toronto Blue Jays Recall Anthony Gose, Option Mickey Storey
Outfielder Anthony Gose has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo by the Toronto Blue Jays. Armed with a mix of solid speed and power, he is still pretty wet behind the ear and still will need some seasoning to become the type of major league hitter that is expected of him. To make room for the young hitter, Toronto has decided to option right-handed reliever Mickey Storey to the same...
Blue Jays call up OF Anthony Gose
Updates. The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled Anthony Gose from Triple-A, even though the outfield prospect was hitting .227 with two homers and five steals this season in Buffalo.

Blue Jays and Yankees Rained Out
The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees got rained out Sunday afternoon, in what was supposed to be the final game of a three-game series. No make-up day has been announced as of yet, but with the Blue Jays returning to Yankee stadium August 20-22, a double header should not be too hard to schedule. With the Blue Jays’ catastrophic woes against the Yanks this season, we all...

Blue Jays SS Munenori Kawasaki gets busy during pre-game (GIFs)
Don’t mind Muneori Kawasaki. He’s just preparing for a baseball game the way that any Major League player prepares. Right?

Jays infielder amazed by Sandoval's tats
This moment of childlike wonder took place during batting practice prior to the Giants-Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre this past Wednesday night. Toronto shortstop Munenori Kawasaki has a look of sheer amazement on his face as he gawks at Pablo Sandoval’s massive arm and tattoo work, which seems strange since Kawasaki hails from Japan, aka The Land of the Rising Tentacle Porn....
It’s time for MLB to protect its pitchers
It has become increasingly clear that Major League Baseball must protect its pitchers. On May 7, 2013, when Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J.A. Happ was struck in the base of the skull by a ferocious line drive that rocketed off of the bat of Tampa Bay outfielder Desmond Jennings, we were given a reminder about one of the genuinely dangerous aspects of playing baseball. Happ had essentially...
