As The Athletic reported in a recent article, the AL East is “the toughest division in baseball”. Teams like the Blue Jays, Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Tampa Bay Rays are consistently one-upping each other. As a result, strengthening of one team can have adverse effects on others. This can be seen right now with the Blue Jays, who are suffering from the Bombers’ rise.

It was known from the beginning that Juan Soto was a major target of both the Pinstripes and the Blue Jays. Yet Toronto focused on Shohei Ohtani, while the Yankees completed the deal with Soto. Now that the Blue Birds have lost both, they’re stuck. On the other hand, the Yankees have gone from strength to strength.
Before getting Soto, they got themselves OF Alex Verdugo and have also added Trent Grisham. In one fell swoop the Bombers solved a majority of their outfield problem. Now, they’re even ahead in the Yoshinobu Yamamoto race.

The only way the rest of the division can keep up is if they play their cards right. Even though the Blue Jays are behind, hope remains alive.
A massive ray of hope for the Toronto Blue Jays
In Cody Bellinger, Toronto sees a release from all of this offseason pain. The 28-year-old would not only solve their outfield problem but is versatile enough to play in their other area of need – first base. And even though Bellinger isn’t the heavy hitter of yesteryears, he has developed a style of consistent hits.
