The Toronto Blue Jays are on an eight-game winning streak (with back-to-back series wins)  which is a five-way tie for fourth-best on the 2025 season.

Toronto sits two victories away from the franchise record for wins before the All-Star break, with six games to go.

“If the Red Sox keep slipping out of contention, there's no reason not to trade a 37-year-old Aroldis Chapman midway through a one-year contract,” wrote Kline. “Chapman and Hoffman give Toronto power-throwing relievers — one southpaw, one righty — to anchor the back of the bullpen and preserve leads in late-inning situations.”
