Stop me if you’ve heard this one: The American League East looks to be the most competitive division in baseball. Again.
It honestly wouldn’t shock me if the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, or Tampa Bay Rays win the division. Sorry Baltimore Oriole fans, but there isn’t any realistic scenario I can see they end up winning the division, or maybe even finishing higher than fifth. Thank goodness for the Orioles.
Toronto Blue Jays
2021 Record: 91-71
Major Additions: 3B Matt Chapman, SP Kevin Gausman, SP Yusei Kikuchi
Major Subtractions: 2B Marcus Semien, SP Robbie Ray, SP Steven Matz
The Toronto Blue Jays ended up a game short and were on the outside looking in when time ran out on the 2021 season.
