Hearing major national media outlets finally recognize the sheer dominance of our roster brings an undeniable wave of pure excitement to this eager city.
We all watched this front office aggressively build an absolute powerhouse over the winter, strictly aiming for a massive World Series parade.
Baseball is a highly unforgiving sport that relentlessly demands total perfection to survive the grueling grind of the American League East.
A highly respected baseball voice completely understands exactly what this team is capable of achieving when the absolute brightest stadium lights turn on.
"I think you could make a case the Blue Jays are the best team in the American League. I think Toronto is better than it was last year."

Seeing our absolute favorite homegrown talent receive massive praise for his total dedication brings a bittersweet wave of emotion to this understanding fanbase.
Kurkjian specifically singled out our 27-year-old superstar (Signed as an international free agent, 2015 by Toronto Blue Jays) for his incredible daily preparation.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. completely reinvented himself physically and mentally to become a genuinely complete, terrifying all-around baseball player.
He quietly posted massive offensive numbers last year, but his elite defensive improvements and totally unbreakable clubhouse leadership are what truly separate him now.
Vladdy naturally feeds off that exact intense energy, and he genuinely craves the immense pressure of carrying this passionate city on his back.
Younger prospects constantly study his highly disciplined approach to simply control exactly what he can control on the baseball diamond.
The Rogers Centre crowd is completely ready to erupt when our complete superstar finally jogs out of the dugout on Opening Day.
Let the regular season begin immediately, because this incredibly deep organization is totally primed to dominate the league.
