"It didn't end the way the Toronto Blue Jays and their fans were hoping, but that shouldn't deter anyone from celebrating what was a phenomenal season in Toronto. The 2025 Blue Jays got farther than any other team before them in 30+ years and it came in one of the most unlikely fashions. The year before, the Blue Jays were dead last in the AL East and it looked like they were about to lose one of the best home grown players in franchise history."
"the team signed beloved star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a contract extension shortly after the season began ... and took off not long afterward. Next thing you knew, they'd cruised to an AL East title, blitzed the Yankees in the ALDS, won an epic ALCS against the Mariners to reach their first World Series in 32 years and got this close (twice! maybe more than twice!) to winning the World Series."
The Toronto Blue Jays completed a dramatic turnaround in 2025, rising from a last-place AL East finish in 2024 to AL East champions and American League pennant winners. A contract extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. early in the season stabilized the roster and preceded a sustained surge. The Jays swept the Yankees in the ALDS and won an epic ALCS over the Mariners to reach their first World Series in 32 years. The team came very close to winning the title on multiple occasions, reignited a passionate fan base, and set a higher competitive benchmark for upcoming seasons.
