I am already looking forward to next year. There will be some changes with the Jays and it will be interesting to see who will be leaving. One thing is the fact that they are an equal to the Dodgers. Any bit of doubt is gone now. The 2025 post season was great for baseball and exactly what MLB needed. Look for increases in attendance and TV ratings in 2026 for a lot of teams, including Toronto.

Very good chance the 2026 season does not happen

Sorry I suppose 2027 given that the CBA expires after next season, but clubs will be bracing themselves for a potential lockout in 2027 which will impact this offseason. Nobody is happy the Dodgers can defer millions to buy World Series pennants...

Great news and somewhat unexpected. Looks like Shane Bieber is staying with the Blue Jays at least for another year. I always wondered if he would stay simply because he seemed so grateful to the team for giving him another chance after Tommy John's surgery. Let's see what happens with Bo Bichette. A good team means strong tickets sales and as Rogers saw all season long, super TV ratings.
