Ed Sprague's outlier year was 1996, where he set career highs in runs (88), hits (146), homers (36), RBI (101), walks (60) and slugging average (.496). This performance ranks as one of the best seasons for a Blue Jay third baseman, marked by the presence of controversy around the team's association with Roger Clemens' trainer.

James Somersett's parents were excited to attend a Blue Jays game, as he had purchased them premium tickets, but moments before the game, the tickets were stolen from his account.

Dickey won the Cy Young at 37 years old with a 20-6 record and 2.73 earned run average, leading the NL in complete games and strikeouts.

Victor Arias earned a promotion to Double-A due to his excellent performance, showcasing a 125 wRC+ with .818 OPS and solid plate discipline.

Khal Stephen dominated the Northwest League with a remarkable 0.95 ERA and a record of 3-1 over five starts, earning him the Pitcher of the Month award.

"Mitch Keller has exceeded 30 outings for three straight seasons and is on pace for another career year with an above average ERA of 3.58 and a 3.40 FIP."

In the recent past, the Jays would usually go for a run of college hitters early on day 2, typically with a lone higher bonus upside play.

Kevin Gausman struggled on the mound, going 5 innings while allowing 4 runs, 3 earned. Defensive miscues also contributed to the team's loss.

Nick Sandlin has used his fastball less frequently, relying on his slider nearly half the time, resulting in only five strikeouts over 7.2 innings.

The Blue Jays currently sit in first place in the division after sweeping the Yankees in a four-game set, with the Rays one game behind them.
