When the Toronto Blue Jays captured the American League East division title in 2025, it meant a lot to the team. In doing so, it gave the Jays a bye during the Wild Card round to give them one less opponent to worry about, as well as giving some extra time for some of their ailing players to get healthy for the ALDS. In addition, it gave them home-field advantage right through to the ALCS, which is massive given their substantial winning record at the Rogers Centre.
But winning the division could mean even more for the Blue Jays heading into the offseason, as it could potentially help rekindle some interest from a soon-to-be free agent star.
