Blue Jays pick up $1.2M option on Molina (AP)

The Toronto Blue Jays have exercised their $1.2 million option for catcher Jose Molina, keeping with the team through the 2011 season. The Blue Jays announced the move Wednesday.

Blue Jays Exercise Jose Molina's 2011 Option
2010-10-27 18:13:00
The Blue Jays exercised Jose Molina's 2011 option, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. The club chose to retain the 35-year-old instead of buying him out for $200K. Molina hit .246/.304/.377 last year with six homers after signing with the Jays in February. Alex Anthopoulos' low-risk investments in Molina and John Buck paid off this season, but the GM now has a decision to make. J.P. Arencibia appears ready to catch in the big leagues and Buck has expressed interest in returning. It seems unlikely that both Arencibia and Buck will have spots on the team's opening day roster, but Anthopoulos called Buck to tell him the club still has interest in working out a deal (Twitter link).
The Blue Jays Rap
2010-10-26 11:00:00
Back in 1991 the Blue Jays released an album in conjunction with the Variety Club to raise funds.  We have come across the full album and will be releasing these tantalizing tracks here for your listening pleasure.  The first song is called “Blue Jays Rap,” by the Variety Club Rap Gang.  No relation to the Wu-Tang Clan. At all.

Epic Games In Blue Jays History: Joe Lawrence’s First HR
2009-12-14 15:28:00
Joey “Whoa” Lawrence was 25 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 8, 2002, with the Toronto Blue Jays.  He was the Blue Jays’ 1st round draft pick in 1996 (16th overall) and quickly became the apple of then newly minted GM JP Ricciardi’s eye.  Lawrence, a former St. Catharines Blue Jay, was called a “tremendous athlete” by Ricciardi.   “He reminds me of Kelly Gruber, and we’re going to keep him, because in a couple of years he could be a heckuva player,” Ricciardi said. Heckuva player? Not so much.  This quote is just further evidence that JP Ricciardi is absent of any skill in evaluating talent whatsoever.  Joe Lawrence won the 2B job out of spring training by default – JP Ricciardi banished top prospect Orlando Hudson to the minor leagues after Hudson remarked “When I first met J.P., I thought, ‘Smooth cat – smooth-lookin’ cat. He looks like he was a pimp back in his day.&rdq...
Epic Games in Blue Jays History: Buck Martinez Completes a Double Play on a
2009-12-11 16:28:00
In honour of the long overdue of Buck Martinez to the broadcast booth, I’d like to bring back the memory of the most spectacular double play ever made in major league baseball history. It was July 9, 1985 in vs. Seattle at the Kingdome. The play by play reads like this: MARINERS 3RD: Bradley singled; Davis flied out to center; Filer balked [Bradley to second]; G. Thomas singled to right [Bradley out at home (right to catcher), G. Thomas out at home (catcher to left to catcher)]; Martinez breaks ankle on collision at plate; Thomas takes 3b on throw; Martinez (on ground) throws into lf; Bell throws home and Martinez makes catch and tag while seated; The ankle turned out to be dislocated to go along with a fractured leg.  To go beyond the boxscore, the play really went down like this: Buck  took a throw from Jesse Barfield in RF and blocked the plate. Phil Bradley, trying to score from third,  slid into him breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle. Buck then saw his frien...
Blue Jays Baserunning? Not So Bad, Actually
2009-09-16 13:42:00
Last night I got to see Vernon Wells picked off (allegedly) first base and then thrown out of the game for arguing his case.  Due to the sheer number of flubs, misplays and screw-ups this season I didn’t think anything of it.  In fact I expected to see it.  But then I thought for a ...

Adam Loewen Now Part of The Blue Jays...
2008-10-25 21:49:00
I seriously thought that Adam Loewen would resign with Baltimore; however, things have changed as he was put on waivers a few days ago.Now he's part of the Toronto Blue Jays. TORONTO (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays acquired two of the top four picks in the 2002 draft on Friday, signing converted pitcher Adam Loewen to a minor league contract and claiming right-hander Bryan Bullington off waivers.Bullington was selected by Pittsburgh with the top overall selection and Loewen was taken fourth by the Baltimore Orioles. Neither player has panned out so far professionally.Baltimore released Loewen on Monday, but had hoped to re-sign him to a minor league deal. Loewen, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, acknowledged leaving the Orioles was "extremely difficult," but said the chance to join Toronto was too good to pass up."I grew up watching the Blue Jays and was a huge fan all my life," he said. "This is a great opportunity. I'm really excited to get going."Loewen's pitching career en...
