I'm Corey with the story.

The Toronto Blue Jays came so close to their first World Series title since the early 90s,

pushing the Dodgers to a dramatic game 7 before.

Falling just short.

Now, heading into the 2026 season, they've made bold moves to build on that momentum, starting

with a massive 7-year 210 million dollar deal for A Still and Cease, who racked up his

5th straight 200 strikeout year.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. carried the offense with a strong regular season and even hotter

postseason numbers, while George Springer had a career best, year at age 36.

To fill the void left by Boba Schetz departure to the meds, they brought in Japanese star

Kazuma Okamoto on a 4-year pact, a guy with 6.

Straight 30 Homer seasons and goal-gloved defense who can handle 3rd base.

Fans are buzzing about the potential, but they're bracing for challenges like replacing

Bichette's steady bat and dealing with injuries to key.

Starter Shane Bieber, Jose Barrios, and Trey Yessivage all sideline to start the year.

The bullpen got a boost with Taylor Rogers and Cody Ponce stepping in, aiming to shore

up late innings.

Even with losses like Chris Bassett to the Orioles, the Jays look primed for another AL East

battle with the Yankees.

If Guerrero keeps mashing and the rotation heals up, they could snag a wild card spot and

chase that elusive ring once more.
