Jamie Campbell gave the Dodgers another sharp jab Sunday by naming the Blue Jays when asked for a better World Series loser than the champion.
The post on X asked fans to name a World Series runner-up that was better than the team that won it. Campbell's answer was short and loud: the 2025 Blue Jays.
That landed the way it did for one reason. He was not taking a random swing at history. He was clearly pointing right back at the Dodgers.
Toronto lost that 2025 World Series in 7 games, and the end still stings. The Dodgers won Game 7 in 11 innings by a 5-4 score after the Blue Jays had been 2 outs away from a title in the 9th.
That is why Campbell's reply felt less like a joke and more like a little truth bomb wrapped in Blue Jays pain. Toronto outscored Los Angeles 34-26 across the series and still walked away empty.
That detail matters because it is the cleanest argument behind his post. The Dodgers won the only number that truly counts, but the Blue Jays looked like the stronger club for long stretches of that series. That is an inference from the scoring margin and the way Game 7 turned.
The slight also hit harder because Campbell is not some random fan account. Sportsnet's 2026 Blue Jays coverage plan has him leading Blue Jays Central, which makes his words part of the team's daily voice.

Why Jamie Campbell's post hit a nerve
Blue Jays fans never fully got over that World Series. MLB's own recap of Toronto's loss framed it as a team that had countless chances to win and could not close the last, most painful one.
So when Campbell dropped «2025 Blue Jays,» he was really saying what plenty of people around Toronto still believe. The Dodgers got the ring, but the Blue Jays may have played the better overall series. That is an inference from the final scoring and the extra-inning Game 7 finish.
It also works as a quiet shot because Los Angeles has to wear the opposite side of the story. The Dodgers are the champions who were outscored in the series, which is rare enough to keep the debate alive long after the parade.
Campbell did not need a long thread to reopen that wound. He used 3 words, took a small swipe at the Dodgers, and reminded Blue Jays fans just how close that 2025 club came to changing everything.
Was Jamie Campbell right to call the 2025 Blue Jays the better team?
