"Did you wake up today and ask yourself if yesterday afternoon was real? It's the day after the Toronto Blue Jays celebrated their first division title in ten years after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 13-4. After the division race came down to the final day of the regular season, it went the Blue Jays' way, and it was straight to the champagne."
"The narratives about the Blue Jays in March now seem like a forgotten thing of the past. Is this a make-or-break year for John Schneider? Will Vladimir Guerrero Jr leave the Blue Jays? How will the Blue Jays step up after being dead last in the American League East in 2024? The concern that loomed over Toronto erased as the months went by, and they're now the first seed in the American League."
"Make no mistake about it: George Springer should be your 2025 American League Comeback Player of the Year. Springer had a campaign to remember that'll live in the minds of Blue Jays fans for years to come. He led the team in home runs (32), OPS (.959), on-base percentage (.399), and WAR (5.2). Springer would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons why the Blue Jays are AL East Champions."
The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first division title in ten years with a 13-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, securing the American League's top seed after a final-day race. Preseason doubts about team direction, John Schneider's future, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s status, and a 2024 last-place finish were overtaken by the season's turnaround. George Springer produced a standout campaign, leading the team with 32 home runs, a .959 OPS, a .399 on-base percentage, and 5.2 WAR. The celebration at Rogers Centre featured a blaring home run horn, champagne, shirtless dugout moments, and memorable postgame revelry.
