Unfortunately, the Blue Jays play in one of the best divisions in baseball (They don’t call it the AL Beast for nothing.) Today, we compare the Blue Jays roster to the New York Yankees and discuss how these two teams compare. The Yankees are coming off a season where they made the World Series, while the Blue Jays are coming off one of the most disappointing seasons of recent memory, with not a lot of expectation going into 2025. In this episode, we break down their lineups, starting rotation and bullpen to see how the Blue Jays will match up with them throughout 2025. Which team is better on paper? Which players can make or break a season for each respective club? What are the expectations of these teams going into 2025? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
