Gonna need those TPMS reports. And if someone could put cover sheets on them, that would be great.

#Bluejays announce that they’ve added one-time top prospect Ricky Tiedemann to the 40-man roster in order to protect him against being taken in next month’s Rule 5 draft.

The left-hander is about a year and a half removed from Tommy John surgery.

Listening to Tragically Hip radio and just heard from @torontomike.com - very cool! #WorldsColliding

#Bluejays just announced that Nick Sandlin has cleared waivers and elected free agency.

Sandlin was acquired in the Andres Gimenez deal, got hurt early in the season and never made it back. Honestly, it didn't seem like #Jays were too terribly excited about his potential return.

#BlueJays fans, listen to this 👇
Have you checked out this week's new episode of Deep Left Field yet? Outgoing #Bluejays bench coach Don Mattingly gives us his exit interview and says this #Jays team reminded him of his 1995 #Yankees.

Also, Rosie DiManno's reasoning for not voting John Schneider as AL Manager of the Year:
