What’s become of the Toronto Blue Jays? With 2 months left, some fans are giving up hope

Less than a year after nearly becoming champions of baseball, and with 60 games left to play, the season-long assessment of what's gone wrong with the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays is already beginning to feel like a post-mortem.

Coming out of the All-Star break with the worst record in its division, the team needed to push to get back in the playoff race. But the Jays have gone 1-5 since then and are at risk of being swept at home Thursday afternoon, a possible nail in the coffin.

The situation this week prompted the Blue Jays Today podcast to ask on social media platform X: "Blue Jays Fans... Is the season over?"

A fair question. With over two months still left to play, the Toronto Blue Jays now have no chance to repeat as division champs, and only 7.2 per cent odds of making the post-season at all, according to sports statistics site FanGraphs, an online resource for baseball statistics.

So what happened? And how are Blue Jays fans processing it all?

Hopes were beyond high coming into 2026.

The Jays had come within two outs — and mere inches — of winning the World
