What if this is just who Trey Yesavage is now? What if there’s no sophomore slump and no regression, only more of the same brilliance we saw in the Blue Jays’ 2025 World Series run? All offseason, it felt like a pipe dream, but look at him now. Yesavage’s performance in Wednesday night’s 2-1 win over the Yankees was his best of the young season, giving the Blue Jays six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and just two hits allowed. Five starts in, Yesavage owns a 1.07 ERA. This one against the Yankees was the very definition of what a confident starter looks like. The two-hour rain delay? Yesavage didn’t seem to mind. He just “walked around,” watched his teammates play cards and sipped Red Bulls. Three of them, he guessed. All of this came against Cam Schlittler on the other side, perhaps the best pitcher in the American League right now. What a treat it will be if they line up to face one another once or twice a season for the next five years.
