Former Blue Jays All-Star says quiet part out loud about 2026 team

The Toronto Blue Jays continue to draw attention across Major League Baseball as their 2026 season begins to take shape, with recent performances signaling a shift in direction following a rocky start to 2026.

The Blue Jays enter Thursday with a 14–16 record, sitting fourth in the American League East and 5.5 games behind the New York Yankees. However, the club has shown clear signs of progress, going 7–3 over its last 10 games and building momentum after a difficult stretch that included a six-game losing streak earlier in April.

The turnaround gained further traction Wednesday night, when the Blue Jays secured an 8–1 victory over the Boston Red Sox to clinch another series win. Toronto has now won three consecutive series, reflecting improved execution and a more consistent approach at the plate.

Former Blue Jays All-Star Ricky Romero addressed the team’s early season struggles and recent improvement, pointing to a shift in mindset within the clubhouse. He noted that early pressure led to players pressing at the plate, contributing to inconsistent results and a negative run differential through the opening weeks.

In a clip shared by Foul Territory TV on X, formerly Twitter, Romero offered a more optimistic assessment of the team’s current form during a Blue Bird Territory segment.

“Right now, I feel like everything’s been pretty steady and guys are just getting the job done.”

It felt like the Blue Jays were trying to do too much early on, says @Ricky_Ro24 of @BlueBirdTerr.

The comments from the former Blue Jays southpaw reflect a growing sense of stability, as the club has moved away from chasing big swings and instead emphasized situational hitting and disciplined at-bats. That adjustment has helped the lineup produce more consistently in recent games.

Despite remaining in fourth place, Toronto has stayed close in a tightly contested AL East. The team now opens a four-game series vs. the Minnesota Twins starting Thursday night, with a chance to build momentum and continue its recent upward play.

If the current trend continues, the Blue Jays appear capable of turning an inconsistent start into sustained progress as the season moves forward.
