"Thus, it should be no surprise that the Blue Jays rank highly on MLB.com's list of the MLB teams most likely to win the World Series from 2026-35 (i.e., over the next decade). In fact, national pundit Will Leitch ranked them third, writing: "The Blue Jays, after years of roster building, finally got their proof of concept last year, and with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. locked in for the next decade-plus, they'll be trying to get over the hump every year he's wearing a Jays uniform.""
"Again, this isn't a projection for just 2026, but it still feels like Toronto has earned the benefit of the doubt over both squads after the way this offseason has gone. The Dodgers haven't done anything besides sign closer Edwin Diaz to a three-year deal, and the Mariners have arguably lost more talent than they've added, spending most of their budget re-signing Josh Naylor. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have added four marquee players in free agency: Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers, and Kazuma Okamoto."
The franchise's primary objective is to win the World Series in October. The team narrowly missed the championship in 2025 after a late loss to the Dodgers. The roster remains one of the American League's most talented groups and now includes several marquee offseason additions. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is under long-term control and serves as a central pillar of the lineup. The Dodgers and Mariners remain top competitors, with the Dodgers adding a closer and the Mariners prioritizing re-signings. The Blue Jays bolstered pitching and lineup depth with Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers and Kazuma Okamoto.
