The Toronto Blue Jays, once seen as the future kings of the AL East, faced a potential breakup after their young core plateaued. However, following Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s extension, the team has experienced a resurgence, highlighted by a recent 10-game winning streak. As the All-Star break approaches, the Jays have climbed to the top of their division, playing at a .634 winning percentage since May 1. With George Springer leading the charge and emerging talents like Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger contributing, Toronto is poised for a strong second half.

Challenges remain, particularly in starting pitching where veterans like Max Scherzer need to step up. The organization may also look to acquire additional arms at the trade deadline to solidify their postseason rotation. If Guerrero finds his hot streak and Anthony Santander returns from injury, the Blue Jays could maintain their lead and solidify their status as legitimate contenders for the playoffs.
