After the 2025 season officially concludes for the Toronto Blue Jays, the team will have some big decisions to make on which free agents to sign or re-sign. The biggest free agent the Blue Jays have on their roster is Bo Bichette. Along with Bichette, this upcoming offseason is filled with talented players for teams to draw interest in, and one is a four-time All-Star that can fit well in the top of the Blue Jays order and provide the kind of defense that the Blue Jays covet.

They're a phenomenal group, managed by a great manager, they have awesome players,

Springer, who won the 2017 World Series with the Houston Astros under controversial circumstances and was named World Series MVP, grew up just outside of Hartford in New Britain, Connecticut. He was seven when the Whalers left Connecticut for Carolina to become the Hartford Whalers. His Whalers fandom is well known, and he has been seen wearing Whalers apparel throughout his playing career. A young Blue Jays fan even asked Springer to sign a Whalers hat for her last spring training.

Pretty rarely does a series outcome rests entirely in the hands of one player. But for the Toronto Blue Jays to have any chance of winning the ALCS, there is actually one player on the Seattle Mariners that could do exactly that. That player is none other than the modern day Blue Jays killer Cal Raleigh. Raleigh was at it once again on Sunday night in Game 1 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays.

The Toronto Blue Jays defense had been one of the team's strongest points for the past few seasons and had been elite once again for the most part during the 2025 MLB season. With a .985 fielding percentage, along with 51 defensive runs saved as a team, ranked fourth in the entire league, it had certainly helped the Blue Jays turn games they could have lost into wins. Added to the fact that Toronto has five former Gold Glove winners on their roster, they can be hard to beat.

I think every year you go to spring training, you think about getting there, right? That's why you keep doing it.

For a Toronto Blue Jays team that has not seen past the Wild Card Series since 2016 and the inexperience that comes with it, this American League Divisional Series stage is not messing with them one bit. Despite being the American League's No. 1 overall seed, the consensus was that they would be handled easily by the New York Yankees in the best-of-five ALDS.

Nearly 32 years after Joe Carter hit his historic home run to win the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays, the baseball legend believes the current team has what it takes to win it all. "They have the guys who can do it. And I'm betting my money on them right now," Carter told The Sunday Magazine host Piya Chattopadhyay. The Blue Jays lead the New York Yankees two games to none in the best of five American League Division Series (ALDS), with both wins coming in convincing fashion in Toronto.

There's no denying that the Boston Red Sox absolutely hate the New York Yankees. The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry is arguably the biggest in all of sports. Before the 2025 ALDS, the Yankees defeated the Red Sox in the Wild Card series in three games as they got a chance to stick it to their hated rival by knocking them out in the postseason. The loss may have left Red Sox fans, and their legends, feeling very bitter.

In 2020, Andrés Giménez finished his rookie season by finishing in the top 10 in NL Rookie of the Year voting as a member of the New York Mets. After one season in New York, Gimenez's tenure with the Mets was shortly over. Giménez was traded by the Mets in part of the trade that sent superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor to New York from Cleveland.

As the Toronto Blue Jays head to New York City for Game 3 of the American League Division Series, some diehard Canadian fans will be cheering for the team from the Yankee Stadium stands. The Blue Jays currently lead the series 2-0 after two high-scoring games at Rogers Centre against the Yankees over the weekend. Toronto will look to sweep the ALDS on Tuesday, with Game 4 in New York if necessary before the series returns to Rogers Centre for Game 5 if needed.

After a blowout 10-1 win in Game 1 on Saturday, Bieber's wife, Kara Maxine, showed support for the team and husband by wearing a Blue Jays jersey with the All-Star pitcher's number for Game 2 at Rogers Centre. In one of her Instagram stories from the game on Sunday, Kara posed alongside other Blue Jays players' partners in coordinated dress. Fellow pitcher Kevin Gausman's wife Taylor stood next to Kara in a picture shared by her on Instagram.

Gausman was as good as anyone could have expected him to be, maybe even better. He carved up the Yankees lineup for almost six full innings and kept their bats mostly silent when the game was still close and could have gone either way. It was the perfect outcome for a team that perhaps needed a Game 1 win more than anything.
