"The team certainly hasn't sat on its hands after losing in extra innings of Game 7 of the Fall Classic, signing Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers, and most recently Kazuma Okamoto in their quest for a title. With a core of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Trey Yesavage, and George Springer already in place, those new pieces should lift the Blue Jays right back to the top of the American League."
"ESPN's David Schoenfield is a big supporter of the Dominican Republic's chances in the upcoming WBC, predicting that they'll win the whole tournament with no losses on their ledger. "After winning in 2013, the D.R. had early exits in 2017 (second round) and 2023 (group play), going just 6-4. Looking for some memorable home runs, some big bat flips and perhaps an undefeated run to the championship [in 2026]," he wrote."
The Toronto Blue Jays enter 2026 widely viewed as World Series favorites after narrowly losing Game 7 in 2025. The team added Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, Tyler Rogers and Kazuma Okamoto to bolster a core that already includes Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Trey Yesavage and George Springer. The American League East will be extremely competitive and the Los Angeles Dodgers remain the back-to-back champions, so nothing is guaranteed. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will play for a loaded Dominican Republic roster in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, where some analysts predict an undefeated championship run amid strong international competition.
