Dunedin Blue Jays auction game-worn retro jerseys

By Palm Harbor-Dunedin Beacon staff · September 16, 2026 · 1 min read

The Dunedin Blue Jays are auctioning game-worn jerseys modeled after the team's 2004 uniforms, a retro design the team calls the "angry bird" look.

The Single-A Toronto Blue Jays affiliate announced the auction on X on Monday, Sept. 14, directing bidders to the official Minor League Baseball auction site.

The team called it the final specialty jersey auction of the 2026 season in an Aug. 29 Instagram post.

Starting bids on most jerseys begin at $100. JoJo Parker's No. 12 jersey had already climbed to $160 as of Sept. 15, according to the auction listing.

Jerseys for more than a dozen players and staff are listed, including Parker, Jake Cook (No. 6), Blaine Bullard (No. 23), Brandon Barriera (No. 11), Owen Carapellotti (No. 20) and manager Ryan Casteel (No. 19). Some numbers were worn by multiple players during the season.
