Two former Blue Jays set to get rings no matter who wins
Former Blue Jays pitcher Jose Urena tied an MLB record this season by playing on a total of 5 MLB teams which included both the Dodgers and Blue Jays even though both times were small stints.
Urena, 34, tied an MLB record in 2025 by playing for five different franchises in the New York Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, and the Los Angeles Angels. -Pankiw
Urena only last 6 games with the Blue Jays in which he pitched a total of 12.1 innings with a 3.65 ERA which is why the decision to DFA him in May came as a bit of a surprise.
Additionally, Urena is not the only player with this interesting situation as infielder Buddy Kennedy who is still part of the Blue Jays organization will also automatically win a ring for his time spent with both teams this season.
Buddy Kennedy, who appeared in two games with the Blue Jays in August and remains a part of the organization, will also receive a World Series ring regardless of who wins. -Pankiw
Kennedy was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers from Toronto back in August but was then released later that month and ended up signing back with the Blue Jays.
