Pitchers and catchers for the Toronto Blue Jays are reporting to the team's training facility in Dunedin, Florida, today, February 11, signaling the beginning of spring training. The remaining players are expected to join them next week.
The Blue Jays are coming off a strong 2025 season that saw them clinch the American League East title and make a deep playoff run, ultimately reaching the World Series for the first time since 1993. Although they fell short in a Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team's performance has fueled optimism for the upcoming season.
Key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and Alejandro Kirk are returning, and the team has made notable additions, including Dylan Cease and Shane Bieber. However, not all news is positive, as right-hander Bowden Francis will miss the entire season due to an elbow injury requiring Tommy John surgery. Single-game tickets for the Blue Jays' spring training games are already on sale, with prices starting at $39. The team is scheduled to play 29 spring training games, with 15 at their home facility and 14 on the road. Their first game is scheduled for February 21 against the Philadelphia Phillies.
