"After all, coming off a hugely disappointing 2024 campaign in which they finished in the basement of the American League East division, no one could have predicted what a successful season the Blue Jays would have going from worst to first and push the defending champions Los Angeles Dodgers practically to the brink for the championship title at the end."
"As part of the trade deadline acquisition with the Minnesota Twins that brought bullpen workhorse Louis Varland to Toronto, Ty France was expected to provide some solid value off the bench both offensively with his bat and defensively with his glove. France impressed initially when he filled in for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the lineup when Guerrero was sidelined with a hamstring injury in mid-August."
The Toronto Blue Jays rebounded from a last-place 2024 to a worst-to-first 2025, reaching Game 7 of the World Series before a gutting loss. A special core of players enabled a memorable season that the organization and fans will remember. The onset of the offseason and free agency will lead to roster changes as the club aims to build on its success. Six Blue Jays are projected not to return for 2026. One example is 1B/DH Ty France, acquired at the trade deadline, who served as a bench bat and defensive option and posted a .277 average and .693 OPS in 37 regular-season games.
