The Toronto Blue Jays play in a fierce division. Everyone knows it.

Mark Shapiro, the Blue Jays' president, obviously knows it too. He understands that his club plays in the craziest division in all of MLB, and that nothing is easy in the American East.

On MLB Network, the Blue Jays president sang the praises of the Orioles, Rays, Yankees, and Red Sox to prove his point.

And that's what allowed him to conclude by saying this: we need to improve.

Of course, we know that the Blue Jays have signed Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers. We know that Shane Bieber has opted to stay and that minor additions on the mound have been made, which means the pitchers are in good hands.

But we also know that the club is looking for a hitter.

The names Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette are obviously popular around town. Since the start of the offseason, these are the two names that keep coming up in discussions.

But don't underestimate Alex Bregman. After Jeff Passan, it was Ken Rosenthal who confirmed that the management of the Queen City club had both feet in the file of Scott Boras' client.

Will it materialize with Bregman? Who knows. But it would be surprising if all the hitters on the market turned their backs on the Blue Jays, who have all the elements to dominate in 2026.

We'll keep an eye on that.
