"I think it's the Blue Jays, with what they have done (this offseason) bringing in (Kazuma) Okamoto was great, but they matched up incredibly well against the Dodgers. You look at them in the World Series and statistically they were the better team, even though they couldn't pull it off in Game 7."
"Bringing in Dylan Cease and Okamoto, they got Cody Ponce from (South) Korea and Tyler Rogers is a really nice piece for that bullpen. And don't forget about (Anthony) Santander, we'll see how he contributes, he was pretty much a non-factor for them in 2025."
The Los Angeles Dodgers enter 2026 as the perceived team to beat after back-to-back World Series championships and offseason additions of Edwin Díaz and Kyle Tucker. A ranking of top threats lists the Toronto Blue Jays first, followed by the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Seattle Mariners. The Blue Jays bolstered their roster with Kazuma Okamoto, Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce and Tyler Rogers, while Anthony Santander remains a potential contributor. The Blue Jays matched up strongly against the Dodgers in the World Series and were statistically superior despite losing Game 7.
