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...

For only the second time in history, the Toronto Blue Jays have a winner-take-all game to go to the World Series.The Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners face off Monday night at the Rogers Centre, with the game having just about the biggest possible stakes you could imagine.For Toronto, they're aiming to go to the World Series for the first time since winning it all in back-to-back years in 1992 and 1993.For Seattle, they're a franchise mostly defined by failure and heartbreak, as they've never been to the World Series since being established in 1977, the same year Toronto got an MLB team.On the other side of the equation is the Los Angeles Dodgers, who clinched the National League pennant on Friday night with a four-game sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS.What would the Blue Jays' World Series schedule be?Just as they did in the first two rounds of the postseason, Toronto would have home-field advantage in the World Series.

The Toronto Blue Jays are still alive.Facing off in one of the biggest games — if not the biggest game — in over three decades for the franchise, the Blue Jays willed themselves on to 6-2 win to push the American League Championship Series to a winner-take-all Game 7 against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.It's just the second Game 7 in Blue Jays history, and the first since 1985. It has also been 32 years since they've been in this situation: one win away from a trip to the World Series."I born ready. And I want it all for this city," Vladimir Guerrero Jr. said when asked by Sportsnet's Hazel Mae if he was ready for Game 7."All the guys come here and try to win it all. And to us, it's like one game at a time, one at-bat at a time. Tomorrow we're trying to come and win it."The Blue Jays got a bit of help from the long ball on Sunday night.Addison Barger hit a two-run home run in the third inning and Guerrero hit a solo sh...
