The Toronto Blue Jays overcame a rocky start to the 2025 season, getting hot at the end of May and surging to the top of the American League East. They now lead the New York Yankees by four games. Their surge has also allowed them to pull into a tie for the best record in the Junior Circuit.

Expectations around the industry were that this year’s iteration of the Toronto Blue Jays would be better than it was last season, but still not quite enough to jump to the top of the standings in the American League East.
