The MLB Network panel discusses how far the the Toronto Blue Jays have come in a year, and who is responsible for it.
A day after being "stunned" that the Blue Jays were crowned the American League East Champions, the MLB Network panel praises their accomplishments thus far in 2025.
AL East champs for the first time in 10 years ‼️ The @BlueJays are ready for October.
MLB Network attributes Blue Jays tenacity and success to a close knit group from top to bottom
"They are set up to make a deep run. There's something special about this team."
MLB Central applauds the Blue Jays, who secured their first AL East title since 2015!

The MLB Network Panel felt that at the beginning of the season Blue Jays manager John Schneider was on the bubble and that he needed to get it done this year to keep his job.
Schneider went above and beyond and is now considered a manager of the year candidate.
"We have to give props to John Schneider, Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins. This is big. Especially for John Schneider, but let's talk about george Springer he has been unbelievable. Coming into this season you would have thought you were getting superstar George Springer circa Houston days, this is like a John Wick movie, it's unbelievable!" - MLB Network
"Say what you will about Vladimir Guerrero Jr's contract extension on whether or not the Blue Jays should have given them that type of dollars, he is a fantastic guy to build your franchise around. Posts, athletic, available, sweetheart and the guys always seem to rallye around him. Alejandro Kirk steps up and had six RBI's in game 162, he's second in catchers in DRS since 2022, one of the best catchers in the game."
Alejandro Kirk is now 3 for 3 with two home runs, a double, six RBIs and the Blue Jays are doubling up the Rays, 8-4. He just got a curtain call at Rogers Centre, and Toronto is 12 outs from its first American League East title in a decade.
The panel talks about the production the Blue Jays got from players they didn't expect from, they were clamoring to spit the names out.
"Addison Barger had big moments, 21 bombs 74 RBI's, Nathan Lukes, Ernie Clement had a monster year. Daulton Varsho, Davis Schneider, they are set up to make a deep run, there is something special about this team."
Ernie Clement couldn't have said it better during his post game celebration.
«The thing that makes this group special is that we play for each other» - Ernie Clement 💙
