The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays enjoyed a historic turnaround, clinching the American League East for the first time since 2015 on September 28 via a tiebreaker over the New York Yankees. After earning a first-round bye, they defeated the Yankees in the Division Series and then outlasted the Seattle Mariners in a seven-game ALCS on October 20, securing their first World Series berth since 1993. In the Fall Classic, they faced the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers, ultimately falling in a dramatic seven-game series that went to extra innings in Game 7 at home—the franchise's first World Series loss. The team's success was fueled by key offseason moves, including trading for All-Star second baseman Andrés Giménez and signing closer Jeff Hoffman, while non-tendering former All-Star closer Jordan Romano. Drawing an average home attendance of 35,184 (9th-highest in MLB), the Blue Jays guaranteed a winning record by August 22, capping off a memorable season that saw them return to the postseason after a one-year absence.
