The Toronto Blue Jays defense had been one of the team's strongest points for the past few seasons and had been elite once again for the most part during the 2025 MLB season. With a .985 fielding percentage, along with 51 defensive runs saved as a team, ranked fourth in the entire league, it had certainly helped the Blue Jays turn games they could have lost into wins. Added to the fact that Toronto has five former Gold Glove winners on their roster, they can be hard to beat.
