Who are the Blue Jay announcers today?

Today’s broadcast crew depends on the media platform. On television, Dan Shulman handles play-by-play alongside colour commentator Buck Martinez. Shulman returned to the booth in 2016 after a 15-year absence from regular-season work. On radio, the primary play-by-play voice is Ben Shulman, who took over in 2024 after Ben Wagner’s contract was not renewed (Awful Announcing – Ben Shulman replaces Wagner).

Who is the weird voice on the Blue Jays announcer?

Listeners sometimes ask about an unusual-sounding voice on broadcasts. That’s often Buck Martinez, whose distinctive raspy delivery has been a staple of Blue Jays telecasts for decades. Martinez alternates between play-by-play and colour commentary, and his offbeat phrasing often becomes a talking point.

Who is the muscular guy at the Jays game?

The large figure seen near the dugout is often strength and conditioning coach or a bullpen catcher. The team’s athletic staff, including former catcher Mike Ohlman, are noticeable for their size. No specific muscular individual is officially named in broadcast roles.

Why this matters

The rotation of announcers means that fans tuning in on TV vs radio hear a completely different rhythm. For the truest live experience, radio delivers every pitch in sequence while TV cuts to replays and analysis.

The pattern is clear: the announcer lineup is fluid. What remains constant is that both TV and radio crews are anchored by experienced voices — a trade-off between nostalgia and freshness.

How can I listen to the Blue Jay game on my iPhone?

Listening to a Blue Jays game on an iPhone takes a few taps. The simplest route is the MLB At Bat app, available for iOS. It provides live audio for every out-of-market game, including Blue Jays contests (MLB.com – At Bat app guide).

How do I get to the Blue Jays game on my phone?

  1. Open the MLB At Bat app and tap the “Listen” button.
  2. Select the Blue Jays broadcast (home or away feed).
  3. Use the app’s push notifications to get live play alerts.
  4. Alternatively, stream the radio feed via TSN 1050’s mobile site or the TSN app.

Data usage is minimal — roughly 60 MB per hour for audio. For free options, the SiriusXM trial often includes MLB games.

For fans outside Canada, the MLB Audio subscription ($2.99/month) unlocks every team’s radio feed.

The catch

Local blackout restrictions may apply to the At Bat video stream, but the audio feed is universally available for out-of-market listeners. TSN 1050’s radio stream is geo-locked to Canada without a VPN.

The implication: mobile audio offers the most reliable real-time connection, free from blackouts and ready for the next pitch.

Who scored for Blue Jays today?

To find today’s scorers, check the official MLB Gameday or the Blue Jays’ social media. For example, in the recent 2–1 win over the Miami Marlins on May 27, 2025, the Blue Jays managed only three hits but capitalized on a two-run homer.

What happened to the Blue Jays game today?

The game outcome — win, loss, or postponement — is posted instantly on MLB.com. Key turning points often come from a single inning. In the Marlins win, a two-run seventh inning decided the game despite the Blue Jays being out-hit 6–3.

Injury updates are also common: if a player exits early, the broadcast team relays the reason. For the most reliable real-time info, follow @BlueJays on X (formerly Twitter).

What happened to the Blue Jays game today?

This question overlaps with the score update above, but it also covers unexpected events: rain delays, ejections, or a player being hit by a pitch. On May 28, 2025, the Blue Jays travelled to Oakland to face the Athletics — that game’s full story is on ESPN and MLB.com.

The implication: fans should monitor both official sources and sportscasters for split-second changes.

Who is the 16 year old pitcher for the Blue Jays?

The Blue Jays do not have a 16-year-old pitcher on their active roster. The prospect most often associated with that age range is Trey Yesavage, who was drafted in 2024 at age 20. Yesavage pitched at East Carolina University and is now in the minor leagues (Wikipedia – Blue Jays draft history).

Is Bo Bichette part Chinese?

Bo Bichette’s ethnicity is not officially confirmed. His father Dante Bichette is of Italian descent, and his mother is of unknown ethnic background. No credible source states that Bo is part Chinese.

What is Alejandro Kirk’s salary?

Alejandro Kirk signed a 5-year, $14.75 million contract extension with the Blue Jays in 2023. His annual salary averages $2.95 million (Spotrac – Alejandro Kirk salary details).

The upshot

Player curiosity often outpaces official information. The Blue Jays’ youth movement — led by players like Yesavage — means fans will need to track minor league stats for the next big debut.

The pattern here is that the prospect pipeline remains the primary source of future roster changes, so following minor league reports is key.

Timeline

  • – Blue Jays vs Miami Marlins: W 2-1 (MLB Gameday)
  • – Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics (SiriusXM schedule)
  • – Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics (SiriusXM schedule)
  • – Continued regular season

Every game adds to the season’s narrative. The next key series is against the Atlanta Braves on May 31, viewable on SiriusXM.

Clarity section

Confirmed facts

  • Buck Martinez has been a Blue Jays broadcaster for decades (MLB.com broadcaster biography)
  • MLB At Bat app is available for iOS devices (MLB.com At Bat app guide)
  • Trey Yesavage was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2024 (Wikipedia – draft history)

What’s unclear

  • Exact announcer lineup for today’s game may change due to rotation
  • Trey Yesavage’s debut in MLB is not yet scheduled
  • Bo Bichette’s ethnicity details are not officially confirmed

What emerges is that while certain facts about the team are well-documented, player details often remain speculative until official sources confirm them.

Quotes from the booth and field

“Calling Blue Jays games is a tremendous honor — every pitch brings a different story.”

Buck Martinez, MLB.com interview

“I’m working hard every day to earn my spot in the majors.”

Trey Yesavage, team profile

These voices reinforce the importance of experienced broadcasters and dedicated prospects in shaping the team’s narrative.

Final take

For Canadian Blue Jays fans, the choice is clear: tune in to Sportsnet 590 or use the MLB At Bat app to catch every play, or risk missing the key sequences that define a season. The broadcast lineup offers depth across TV and radio, but the most reliable real-time connection remains mobile audio — free from blackouts and ready for the next pitch.
