Toronto suffered injury after injury down the stretch run, but they kept their playoff hopes alive — barely — after the trade deadline.

Yayoi Kusama, one of the world’s most celebrated and best-selling artists has died, according to a statement on the artist’s official website.

This is part of a series marking the history of the Toronto Blue Jays as the franchise celebrates its 50th season.

Even though the last-place Jays have mostly the same group that reached the World Series, the closeness of 2025 is gone.

The Jays won't do it, whether it's out of a lack of interest, a lack of boldness or the unwillingness to admit a mistake, but the door is open.

The former Jays closer died in Toronto at age 62 on a weekend that celebrated the World Series championships he was a part of.
