The Toronto Blue Jays entered the All‑Star break riding solid momentum despite a narrow 6‑3 loss to the Athletics. Toronto has won seven of its last ten games and currently holds first place in the AL East with a 55‑41 record, sitting two games clear of the New York Yankees and three wins ahead of a surging Boston Red Sox.

The Toronto Blue Jays have drafted either a shortstop or pitcher with their first-round pick in the draft since 2015, and things were no different on Sunday. Th
