"It may have taken the Toronto Blue Jays all162 games on the MLB schedule to do it. But on Sunday, they put the finishing touches on a spectacular 2025 bounce back season by capturing the American League East division title in a win over their long-time nemesis the Tampa Bay Rays. In doing so, the Blue Jays managed to secure the ever important home-field advantage right through to the American League Championship Series as a result."
"Yes! You sure got that spot on Kevin, "the AL East is back where it belongs". After all, it's been 10 years since Pillar and the Jays last captured the elusive division title when the likes of José Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and company were leading the way for Toronto. And of course, that was back during the time when they had Pillar earning his nickname "Superman" on the field, making highlight reel catches on a daily basis."
Toronto Blue Jays secured the 2025 American League East division title after a full 162-game regular season, beating the Tampa Bay Rays and clinching home-field advantage through the AL Championship Series. Former fan favourite Kevin Pillar publicly celebrated the achievement, urging the team to "keep making Canada proud." Pillar previously starred defensively for Toronto and played key roles in the Jays' 2015 and 2016 postseason runs. The 2025 title marks the franchise's first division crown since that era of José Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion. Toronto's recent success completed a long-awaited bounce-back season and restored the AL East to the Blue Jays.
