According to FOX Sports MLB writer Deesha Thosar, the Blue Jays’ biggest need to be competitive down the stretch is “pitching, pitching, pitching.” But it will be up to Toronto’s execs to make some bold moves before the MLB trade deadline.
“Mark Shapiro (team president) and Ross Atkins (general manager) are under pressure to win now with the surging Blue Jays in 2025; at the very least make the postseason, while pushing to win a playoff series.
“If the front office doesn’t go all-in now [before the MLB trade deadline] then when?”
Thosar additionally believes Toronto has an opportunity to no less than win the AL East.
“Although the Yankees led the AL East by seven video games on the finish of Might, they gave up that result in the Blue Jays by the beginning of July,” Thosar famous.
“It’s a robust turnaround from final 12 months, when the Blue Jays completed the 2024 season within the AL East basement. This can be a good race price maintaining a tally of (and getting the popcorn prepared) down the stretch.”
