The upcoming ’25 ALDS features the two best teams from the AL East, the toughest division in baseball. Mal and Griff compare the Jays and Yankee rosters in six categories, including the leadership standoff between managers John Schneider and Aaron Boone. In addition, they review and preview the rest of the MLB field that has assembled on the October dance floor. Who are the five most important players for the Jays, moving forward. Many of them on both Griff and Mal’s lists are members of the Jays bullpen, led by Jeff Hoffman, Brendon Little, Seranthony Dominguez and Mason Fluharty.
