The Toronto Blue Jays have done an amazing job against their rivals, the New York Yankees this season. After an impressive sweep at home before the All-Star break, the Blue Jays are 5-2 against the Yankees this season (including Monday's 4-1 win).
Now that they have built themselves a cushion in first place, there are rumors spreading that the two teams have similar interests in players ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. If the Blue Jays play their cards right and steal the Yankees targets, that would be the cherry on top to leapfrog them to an AL East title.
