The Blue Jays Understood the Assignment

Well, well, well. The New York Yankees fall short yet again. They perform great during the regular season, but fall apart in the Postseason. This has been their MO for who knows how long. This was the same team who was in the World Series a year ago. Aaron Judge and the Yankees made multiple errors during Game 5, where they had a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning. All of a sudden, it went straight to hell from there. Before this season began, I predicted that the Yankees would miss the playoffs. Now, after they were eliminated by the Blue Jays in the ALDS, whom I'll discuss in a bit, the Yankees front office has a lot of decisions to make. Will Aaron Boone return as manager? Does the starting rotation need to undergo some changes? If this team doesn't make any changes, they'll never return to becoming the dominant team they once were over 20 years ago. Aaron Judge is the Dan Marino of Major League Baseball. A great player, but he fades in the playoffs. No World Series titles...yet, but it's unacceptable for a player to have lackluster on-field performances. I no longer have any confidence in the Yankees, because they look so lost every year. They got outperformed by the Blue Jays and it revealed their weaknesses and were exposed. If the goal of the Yankees is to win World Series titles, like I said, changes need to be made and fast. Otherwise, they'll endure more years of disappointing seasons and playoff exits.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jays advanced to the ALCS for the first time in a decade. They did all of this without Bo Bichette. Whoever they face in the next round, whether it's the Mariners or Tigers, they'll have a huge challenge in front of them. It's finally great to see a team in the playoffs not named the Houston Astros. The two players who stole the show during the ALDS were Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. and Ernie Clement. Expect to see more of their offensive hitting power for the duration of the Postseason. If they were to win the American League pennant, this would elevate them to even bigger heights: something that they haven't experienced in over 30 years. To remind everyone, the Blue Jays won back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993. However, they can't lose sight of reaching and accomplishing the ultimate goal. One interesting fact from the ALDS to pass along to everyone: In the four games against the Yankees, the Blue Jays scored a total of 34 runs and had 50 hits. Talk about explosive.

The Blue Jays are a team that shouldn't be messed with. If they were, hypothetically speaking, to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, they would be determined to upset the defending World Series Champions and win their third title. It would most likely be a must-see matchup. The Postseason can be unpredictable, but anything can happen.

Do you believe that the Blue Jays will reach the World Series and win it all? Also, do you believe that Aaron Boone will return as manager in 2026 and what changes would you like the Yankees to make?
