Where is Spring Training?
Toronto’s off-season facilities are based in two locations in Dunedin, Florida. The first locations is a player development complex on Garrison road where players workout.
The second location is TD Ballpark where live games will happen. Toronto is part of the Grapefruit League and they will play split squad and exhibition games against other teams with Spring Training facilities in the same region.
When do Blue Jays players report?
Wednesday, Feb. 11 is the official day for Blue Jays pitchers and catchers to report to Spring Training. Toronto is scheduled to hold their first full squad workout on Monday, Feb. 16, with most players expected to arrive early to settle in.
How has the roster changed?
The Blue Jays’ front office put in significant work to upgrade the roster in the off-season, signing pitchers Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers as well as utility man Kazuma Okamoto.
Toronto also lost some key personnel from last year’s team, including Bo Bichette (signed with Mets), Max Scherzer (unsigned free agent), Chris Bassitt (unsigned free agent), Ty France (unsigned free agent), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (signed with Red Sox) and Seranthony Dominguez (signed with White Sox).
In addition, bench coach Don Mattingly joined the Philadelphia Phillies.
Blue Jays prospects to watch
The biggest name to watch on the prospects list is clearly Trey Yesavage, who was outstanding during last year’s playoff run. Yesavage will look to lock down a spot in the starting rotation in 2026.
Ricky Tiedemann is also hoping to have a breakout year after missing all of last season because of Tommy John surgery.
Toronto’s top position prospect is Arjun Nimmala, although he’s expected to be a couple years away from cracking the roster.
When is the Blue Jays’ first Spring Training game?
The Blue Jays will face former bench coach Don Mattingly in their first Spring Training game on Feb. 21 in Dunedin against the Phillies.
What Spring Training games should Blue Jays fans circle?
Other notable Spring Training games for Toronto include Feb. 23 against Bo Bichette and the Mets. The next day they will face Aaron Judge and the Yankees in a rematch of the ALDS.
The Blue Jays will play an exhibition game against Team Canada on March 3 ahead of the World Baseball Classic.
March 8 will see Toronto face a revamped Baltimore Orioles squad that is hoping to contend in the AL East after adding slugger Pete Alonso.
The final Spring Training game for the Jays goes on March 22 against the Tampa Bay Rays as Toronto prepares to make their final cuts ahead of Opening Day.
