"Despite making the World Series, the Blue Jays could be a completely different team in 2026. While the team has six free agents this offseason, key free agents Bo Bichette, Chriss Bassitt, Max Scherzer and Seranthony Dominguez are pivotal. If the Blue Jays lose one or a majority of their free agents, chances of returning to the World Series in 2026 could be low."
"In 2014, Madison Bumgarner turned into a postseason legend with his historic postseason run pitching for the Giants. Bumgarner recorded the final out in Game 7 against the Royals after he had thrown a complete game in a Game 5 win three nights previous. Bumgarner ended up pitching five innings in Game 7. Similarly, Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Dodgers pitching the final 2.2 innings of Game 7 after throwing 96 pitches the previous night."
Game 7's loss in the 2025 World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers will linger with the Toronto Blue Jays and Canada. The Blue Jays face roster uncertainty with six free agents including Bo Bichette, Chriss Bassitt, Max Scherzer and Seranthony Dominguez; losing one or more could reduce 2026 World Series chances. As defending American League champions with 94 wins, the Blue Jays will have a target on their back in 2026. The Kansas City Royals used their 2014 Game 7 loss as motivation and won the 2015 World Series, aided by historic postseason pitching and World Series MVP performances.
