March and April
[edit]The Blue Jays began the 2025 season at home against the Baltimore Orioles, splitting a four-game series with one of their AL East rivals.[1] Offseason acquisition Max Scherzer was injured in his start on March 29, and was placed on the injured list.[2] The Washington Nationals were swept by the Jays in the next series, with Easton Lucas taking Scherzer's rotation spot and pitching five scoreless innings in the finale.[3] Traveling to New York for their first road trip of 2025, the Blue Jays were swept by the New York Mets over a three-game series.[4]
On April 7, the Blue Jays signed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a 14-year, $500 million contract extension. The extension is the largest contract in franchise history, eclipsing the six-year, $150 million contract issued to George Springer, and is the second-largest contract in the MLB history in present-day value.[5] Heading to Boston, Toronto nearly swept the Boston Red Sox before falling in extra innings in the final game of the series. After the game, manager John Schneider criticized home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez, saying "It’s tough to battle nine hitters and an umpire... I’ve got all the respect in the world for them, but it wasn’t a great day for him behind the plate."[6] To close their roadtrip, the Blue Jays went to Baltimore. The first game of the series was rained out, and the teams split the other two games of the series.[7]
