Toronto continues to add talent with Dylan Cease, sharpening New York’s focus on catching up.

Overview

  • Boone argues the disparity is smaller than perceived after the rivals finished 2025 with identical 94-68 records.
  • Toronto controlled the matchup, winning the season series 8-5 and outscoring New York 34-19 in the ALDS.
  • His prescribed fix is straightforward: play better head-to-head through improved execution, performance and game plans.
  • GM Brian Cashman says the Yankees must "find our way to take that back" from the defending American League champions.
  • Offseason snapshots: the Blue Jays signed starter Dylan Cease, while the Yankees highlighted Anthony Volpe’s positive shoulder rehab and moved Preston Claiborne to bullpen coach to replace Mike Harkey.
