A long-time fan of the Maple Leafs and Blue Jays. Previously, I was a writer for Jays From the Couch and Jays Journal.

Okay, in my defence, I wrote this article before last night's Jesús Sánchez misadventures in left field. However, overall, Toronto's defence has been much better after the All-Star Game. I look at both the positive and negative contributors. jayscentre.com/news-rumors/...

The Toronto Blue Jays’ Defence Returns!

Before the 2026 All-Star Game, Toronto’s defence was not as good as in previous seasons. Afterward, the defence has bounced back. What happened?

Yes, Toronto is struggling currently, but they will be in the postseason. So, instead of comparing Toronto's offence to likely postseason opponents, I compared it to recent World Series teams. I even included charts!📈 jayscentre.com/news-rumors/...

How Does the Blue Jays’ Offence Stack Up to That of Recent World Series Teams?

In which areas does Toronto’s offence measure up favourably compared to recent World Series teams? Which aspects of Toronto’s offence compare unfavourably?
