However, there is a very real chance they could face each other late in October and an all AL East matchup has one writer at MLB.com excited about it's potential. The Yankees are longtime tormentors of the Blue Jays, but that dynamic has never been tested in the postseason. The Blue Jays would simply be looking to exorcise their playoff demons and what better way to do it than to beat a team that holds a playoff elimination over their heads. The Mariners also feature a few players the Blue Jays were rumored to have interest in at the trade deadline in Eugenio Suarez and Canadian-born Josh Naylor. Of course long-time Blue Jays fans would also be ecstatic to see a Toronto versus Detroit matchup.
