If I'd known the Toronto Blue Jays had cute players, I would've jumped on the bandwagon earlier.
The Blue Jays are finally back in the World Series after 32 years, and as a Toronto girlie who just jumped on the bandwagon, I am thrilled. I only started watching Major League Baseball (MLB, if you're fancy) literally yesterday when they played the Seattle Mariners — and actually won — but even though I had to ask a million questions and barely knew what was going on, one thing was crystal clear: there are some fine looking players on that field.
With little to no context about baseball whatsoever, I still went ahead and made a list of the hottest Blue Jays — purely based on vibes. Do I fully understand baseball? Absolutely not. Do I have opinions about which Blue Jays are attractive? Absolutely yes. No stats, no strategy, just thirst. And before you ask — no, this list isn't in any particular order because how could I possibly choose?
1. The face of the franchise and the embodiment of pure swagger, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is impossible not to notice. What drew me to him wasn't even his batting skills; it was his story. He's literally from baseball royalty — the son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., who was one of the most electrifying players in MLB history.
And seeing those old photos of him on the field with his dad during those years — then watching him do something his dad never got to do, win a World Series — actually made me tear up. That full-circle moment of him carving out his own legacy, then breaking down in happy tears after the American League Championship Series (ALCS for short) win, hit me right in my feelings. I adore an emotional man. Like, okay yeah… he's definitely going on this list.
2. When George Springer hit that massive home run in Game 7 to send the Jays to the World Series, I knew he was that guy. He's one of the veterans on the team and has this "cooler older brother who's seen it all" vibe. He's been in the MLB for more than a decade and even won a World Series back in 2017 with Houston.
Off the field, he's known for being a leader and for speaking openly about his stutter, inspiring other kids with speech challenges. Talented, kind, and confident? Yeah, George easily earns his spot here.
