This season, the Toronto Blue Jays have the distinct opportunity to accomplish something that they haven't done in over a decade. That feat that once seemed insurmountable this year for the Blue Jays is capturing the American League East division title. Currently sitting atop the AL East with both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox hot on their tails, it looks like it will be a battle right down to the wire.

August 31 - Clay Bellinger blooped a go-ahead RBI single in the 11th inning and Aaron Judge and Austin Wells homered as the visiting New York Yankees defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday for their seventh straight win. The Yankees moved within two games of the American League East-leading Toronto Blue Jays while stretching their lead over the Boston Red Sox for the first AL wild-card berth to 1 1/2 games.

According to Rays president Erik Neander, McClanahan is still experiencing lingering symptoms and is not making significant progress toward a return to the mound this season.

Junior Caminero has achieved a .258/.297/.523 batting line with 32 home runs in his first full Major League season, showcasing his potential despite some flaws.

Tyler Glasnow spent the majority of his career with the Tampa Bay Rays before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he signed a five-year, $136.5 million contract.

Kim has only played 10 games this season. He made his season debut July 4 after recovering from last fall's shoulder surgery and then promptly missed three games with calf problems.

Krehbiel has a 3.65 ERA in 74 big league innings spread across parts of four seasons, most recently pitching for the 2022-23 Orioles.

Zalupski's group, including Bill Cosgrove and Ken Babby, has engaged in exclusive negotiations with the Rays regarding a potential shift of the team to Tampa.
