Yankees need to make a statement against Blue Jays
Andy Marlin | USA TODAY SportsThe Blue Jays might be the new Red Sox in the eyes of the Yankees.
It isn’t just because the Jays have played .500 ball against New York the last few years despite missing the playoffs. No, Toronto has put in the hard work to develop prospects, spend accordingly in free agency, and send a message: we want that American League East crown.
The Yankees know this all too well and made moves of their own this offseason, including adding former Blue Jays MVP Josh Donaldson. Even in going 8-11 against Toronto last year, the team’s pitching posted a 3.82 ERA in those 19 games.
