Jays' Playoff Streak in Jeopardy

The latest scores, headlines, and storylines, right here on Toronto Blue Jays news today.

Subscribe and stay game-ready. The Toronto Blue Jays had a stellar 2025 season,

knocking out the New York Yankees and pushing the Los Angeles Dodgers to a thrilling

Game 7 and the World Series. Now MLB.com writer Anthony Cashrevince is making a bold call.

The Jays will miss the playoffs entirely in 2026. It's not as wild as it sounds,

and the wildcard era, 15 teams that won their league pen in one year, failed to reach the

postseason the next. Just look at the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks after their 2023

showdown. Both sat out 2024. The American League East is loaded too.

The Yankees are reloaded and eyeing the top spot, while the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles

loaded up with big offseason moves to chase October. Toronto already lost shortstop boba

and newcomers like Kazuma Okamoto might hit a wall in their MLB debut. Pictures Dylan Sees

and Cody Ponds could falter. Plus starters, Shreya Sivaj and Shane Bieber are nursing injuries

to start the year. Even a slump from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or George Springer could sink the offense.

History shows these drops happen fast. So while it's tough to picture the Jays fading so soon,

that prediction has real legs in this stack division.
