Here Come the Blue Jays, the AL’s Most Delightful Juggernaut

The Blue Jays may not be the best team in the American League. (Yet.) But they have an increasingly strong case for being the most fun.

Toronto made a deal for Oakland third baseman Matt Chapman on Wednesday—giving up a package of prospects to land a defender who has historically been one of the best in the game. It gives the Blue Jays a stacked infield. And it reiterates their commitment to contending in a crowded AL East.

Chapman, then with the A’s, hits a home run against the Blue Jays, his new team, at Rogers Centre, his new home park.
