"When no one was expecting Toronto to do many meaningful things entering the 2025 season, the team found ways to string more wins together starting in late May. Fast forward to October, the Blue Jays have won the division with a 94-68 record to launch themselves into the playoffs stage, which ultimately led them to the World Series. If you are joining the Blue Jays fandom now, welcome."
"The short answer is yes, they were definitely not in the best shape last year since they placed dead last in the AL East. It was a rough year. A lot went wrong for that team, and mainly, the long-term injuries to key players really hurt their chances at anything. This year, the Blue Jays had better luck in the injury department, which helped them perform better overall."
"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has lived up to expectations after signing a 14-year extension that kicks in next year, and George Springer is coming alive again at the plate after hitting the age of 37. Then there are also role players such as Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, Davis Schneider, and more, who are also having career years of their own, even if they may not be having an objective MVP-calibre season."
The Toronto Blue Jays began a late-May surge that carried them to a 94-68 record, an AL East title, and a World Series berth. The prior season ended with the team last in the division, largely because long-term injuries sidelined key contributors. Improved health combined with top players performing at high levels propelled the turnaround. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered after signing a long-term extension, while veteran George Springer revived his offense at age 37. Role players including Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, and Davis Schneider posted career years. Shortstop Bo Bichette has faced a knee issue and has not appeared in the playoffs.
