2 w. ago Here are the Toronto Blue Jays' odds of winning the World Series next year

As you probably know by now, the Toronto Blue Jays were inches away from winning the World Series.The old sports adage goes that there's always next year, but diehard sports fans know that's not exactly true.Since 2000, only six teams have lost a World Series and then later went on to win one in the coming years, though often with entirely different rosters. For example, the 2011 and 2012 Texas Rangers lost back-to-back World Series before finally winning the franchise's first title in 2023.Toronto, meanwhile, will be looking to emulate a team like the 2015 Kansas City Royals, who bounced back from a 2014 World Series loss to win it all.For Blue Jays fans, some might be optimistic heading into the 2026 season, even if there's bound to be some roster turnover.But according to oddsmakers at FanDuel, that optimism isn't exactly shared across the board.Toronto's opening odds for winning the 2026 World Series sit at +2000, 10th among all teams across the...

2 w. ago Blue Jays were literally inches away from World Series glory in Toronto

So close.The Toronto Blue Jays came agonizingly close to winning the World Series in Game 7 on Saturday night.After giving up a game-tying home run in the top of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays nearly scored a walk-off win in the bottom half of the inning.With the bases loaded and just one out, a Daulton Varsho ground ball nearly scored Isiah Kiner-Falefa from third.The throw from Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Miguel Rojas beat Kiner-Falefa home, but catcher Will Smith didn't have hit foot on the plate. The play was so close that it went to a video review.A game of inches... pic.twitter.com/wPYGx2ci0H— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) November 2, 2025But as Kiner-Falefa slid towards home, Smith got his foot down just in time.The Blue Jays were inches away from being crowned champions.The next batter, Ernie Clement, nearly won it too.

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays lose heartbreaker to Dodgers to force Game 7

Toronto Blue Jays fans will have to wait another day before potentially celebrating a World Series victory.The Blue Jays entered Game 6 with a chance to win their first World Series title since 1993, but were unable to get much of anything going in terms of offence against the Dodgers and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.Yamamoto, who pitched a complete game in Game 2 of the World Series, went six strong on Friday night, giving up just one run on five hits through six innings. The Dodgers bullpen was able to silence the Jays bats the rest of the way, resulting in a 3-1 victory in the do-or-die outing.Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets through the 6th with a big strikeout! pic.twitter.com/O0k8Ra5i0d— MLB (@MLB) November 1, 2025The Blue Jays were pushing in the ninth, as they had two on base with no outs and wound up chasing Roki Sasaki.

2 w. ago These 4 Toronto Blue Jays players have a shot at World Series MVP

The Toronto Blue Jays are one game away from winning the World Series.On Friday (and potentially Saturday for a winner-take-all Game 7), the Blue Jays head to the Rogers Centre with a chance to clinch their first title since 1993.One common theme about this year's team has been how close they are not only as teammates, but as friends, even picking up the "Glue Jays" nickname internally.But while they might be a team made up of hardworking guys who aren't too concerned about individual recognition, Major League Baseball will still award a World Series MVP at the end of it all to a player from either the Dodgers or the Blue Jays.If the Blue Jays win it all on Friday in a relatively smooth game (i.e. low scoring and no all-time hitting or pitching performances), the trophy appears to be Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s to lose. With eight hits, two home runs, and six runs scored, Guerrero has been the engine that's powered Toronto's offence so far.The Blue Jay...

2 w. ago Toronto Blue Jays players would earn enormous bonus cheques for World Series win

The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from etching themselves into baseball history, which would come with a sweet little pay bump.If the Blue Jays win the World Series, each player will receive a bonus as another reward on top of being a champion. This comes from money pooled together from 60 per cent of the ticket sales through the minimum amount of games played in the postseason.The World Series winning team is allotted 36 per cent of this pool, while the runner-up is eligible to take 24 per cent. The number for this year is currently unknown, but last year's champion, the LA Dodgers, received a record $46.5 million out of a pool of $129.1 million.This resulted in each player on the Dodgers being awarded $477,441 for winning the World Series.So, what does this mean for each player?Well, for some of the team's higher-paid players, a bonus of $477,000 will seem like a drop in the bucket. For example, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to make a total of $28.5 million t...
