The Toronto Blue Jays were considered a World Series favorite heading into the 2026 season.
Writer David Hill outlines three key questions facing the Toronto Blue Jays following a disappointing 2026 campaign that saw them miss the postseason. After reaching Game Seven of the World Series in 2025, Toronto slumped despite adding Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto. Hill highlights first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s need to bounce back from a dreadful nine-homer season during the second year of his 14-year, $500 million contract extension.
Hill also questions what role pitcher Spencer Miles will occupy after posting a 2.63 ERA across 95.2 innings, suggesting Toronto could test him as a full-time starter. Additionally, Hill views Anthony Santander as a potential X-factor if healthy, noting he missed all of 2026 following shoulder surgery after signing a five-year, $92.5 million deal.
