The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays finished the 2025 regular season with identical 94-68 records. Since then, the two clubs have been on divergent paths.
The Blue Jays won the division by a tie-breaker, and then vanquished the Yankees, coming within inches of a World Series victory. They ultimately fell short to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling, 11-inning Game 7 for the ages.
Since the offseason began, Toronto has aggressively rectified its wrongs, sending the first shockwave throughout the baseball universe with the massive seven-year, $210 million deal to land Dylan Cease.
