After nine rounds of Wednesday night’s heavyweight fight, the judges have scored the bout 11-9 for… the Toronto Blue Jays. This is what American League East baseball is supposed to look like, haymakers flying back and forth in a game that had absolutely everything.

The Toronto Blue Jays are red-hot, having won four games in a row and seven of their last 10. At 48-38, they have climbed into a first-place tie with the New York Yankees in the American League East.

As the trade deadline approaches, there's a clear trend when it comes to evaluating some of the team's most sensible targets.
