To call the Toronto Blue Jays' 2024 season a disappointment would be an understatement. They finished last in the AL East with a 74-88 record. The season ended with a sweep by the Miami Marlins and there were plenty of questions about the direction of the team.
In 2025, the Blue Jays achieved something only 13 other teams have done in MLB history: they jumped from last in the division to first the next season. The Blue Jays finished the regular season with a 94-68 record to win their first division title in a decade. On Saturday, the Blue Jays opened their first ALDS playoff series since 2016 at home.
