Nov 6:

Just because it’s a new month doesn’t mean you can lay up a bit, according to Brett Lawrie.

It’s Wednesday night, let’s go to the Drake concert!

Nov 7:

Attn Toronto Raptors? Lawrie shows that baseball isn’t the only thing he’s good at.

And again.

Ricky Romero’s Throwback Thursday is better than yours. #TBT

Reminiscing on the season, Jose?

Nov 8:

Lawrie seems to be using the off-season to his advantage. #WorkHard

Playing basketball, in style.

Nov 9:

Reyes explores a little of what Italy has to offer.

This must be why Lawrie always stresses #LegDay…

The off-season really sinking in…

New car, Ricky?

Nov 10:

Another night out for Jose.

Nov 11:

Some photobooth fun with Edwin Encarnacion.

Nov 12:

Jays prospect Marcus Stroman prefers Jabari Parker over Canadian basketball poster child Andrew Wiggins.

Reyes making the most of the not-so-great weather.

Nov 13:

A young Texas Rangers fan aggressively pursues a deal for Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista.

Recently retired Blue Jays infielder Mark DeRosa is starting a new chapter in his life.

DeRosa leaves his mark on the Green Monster.

Safe to say One Direction is playing in the background, right?

Nov 14:

Nice way to start the day, hey Brett?

Nov 15:

A lot of pressure comes with being on a professional sports team in Toronto, even in the farm system but Jays prospect Stroman reminds everyone he’s still ‘down to earth’.

Talk about a throwback, Jose.

Can anyone make out the jersey hanging on the wall?

Nov 16:

Think Jose waited long in line for this? Probably not.

Nov 17:

Sunday Funday with Reyes & Co.

Nov 18:

Mascots have fun off-season too, here’s Ace hanging at the Santa Claus Parade

Nov 20:

Wonder what Toronto Raptors global ambassador and Bautista’s new best bud Drake has to say about this.

Stroman gives his dad a pretty good present, making my idea of getting pops a new BBQ flipper for Christmas pretty weak.

Reyes in search of that record deal.

Nov 21:

Encarnacion gives the Griswolds a run for their money.

Nov 22:

Lawrie takes a break from basketball to test out the new Xbox.

From Vancouver, with love.

Baseball Hall of Famer and former Blue Jay Roberto Alomar has a little autograph session in London, Ont.

DeRosa hits the links with the boys.

Nov 26:

Stroman has good taste in movies.

Nothing better on a Tuesday than seeing Drake and Snoop Dogg. Well, cheap night at the movies might be on the same level.

LeBron-ing, that’s a thing right?

Nov 27:

Stroman does what it takes to stay in top shape.

Oh, you know, just waiting for baseball to start back up. What about you?

Nov 28:

Oh, so THAT’S why Bautista is a good hitter…

‘Don’t forget to stretch!’ Thanks Jose, now I have the Bodybreak song stuck in my head.

Stroman only drinks the good stuff.

That tree looks perfect. Is it real, Ricky?

Nov 29:

Reyes & Co. show off their World Baseball Classic Championship rings.

Nov 30:

Didn’t catch the last pic? Reyes gets up close.
