"One of the most pivotal series of this entire season came back in early July, when the Blue Jays swept a four-game series from the Yankees to take over first place in the AL East, a position they haven't let go of since. The Yankees are longtime tormentors of the Blue Jays, but that dynamic has never been tested in the postseason. This would be a particularly raucous environment, in both stadiums."
"The narrative pretty much writes itself as the Yankees have long been viewed as the cream of the crop in the AL East while the Blue Jays every once in a while contend for that title. But the Blue Jays are in a position now where they are trying to close the gap on that 'every once in a while' sentiment and make it more of a yearly thing."
Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees will not play each other during the 2025 regular season but could meet in the postseason, potentially in the ALCS. A July four-game sweep by Toronto shifted first place in the AL East to the Blue Jays, a position they have retained. The Yankees have been longtime tormentors of the Blue Jays in regular season play but have never faced them in the postseason. Postseason meetings would produce raucous atmospheres in both stadiums. Both teams feature significant star power and have played thrilling contests in 2025. A Blue Jays–Mariners rematch of the 2022 Wild Card is another intriguing possibility.
