Blue Jays Open 2025 Season with Fresh Hopes Against Orioles
The Toronto Blue Jays are back in action, and fans couldn’t be more excited! The 2025 Major League Baseball season is finally here, and the Jays are set to open at home against the Baltimore Orioles at Rogers Centre. After a tough 2024 season where they finished at the bottom of the AL East with a 74-88 record, there’s a lot riding on this year. The pressure is real, but so is the optimism, as the team looks to turn things around and push for a postseason berth.
One of the biggest talking points heading into the season is the contract situation of two of the team’s biggest stars, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. Both are entering the final year of their deals, which means there’s a lot of speculation about what the future holds for them in Toronto. Will the team make a deep playoff run and convince them to stay, or is this the last season fans will see the dynamic duo together in Jays uniforms?

To bolster the lineup, the Blue Jays made some key offseason acquisitions. Outfielder Anthony Santander has been brought in to inject some much-needed power into an offense that struggled last year. On the pitching side, veteran ace Max Scherzer joins the rotation, bringing his wealth of experience and fierce competitiveness. Right-handed reliever Jeff Hoffman will help solidify the bullpen, while second baseman Andrés Giménez adds defensive strength and consistency at the plate.
Taking the mound for the season opener is José BerrÃos, who’s no stranger to the role. This will be his third Opening Day start for the Jays in four years. The hope is that he sets the tone for a strong campaign ahead, with a rotation that also features Scherzer, Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, and Bowden Francis.
Manager John Schneider is confident in the team’s new look, emphasizing the strong chemistry in the clubhouse. He believes this group has the right mindset to compete every day and push for wins. But as with every season, there are plenty of questions. Can the offense bounce back from last year’s struggles? Will the pitching staff hold up over the long grind of the season? And of course, what will happen with Guerrero and Bichette?
The schedule doesn’t offer much breathing room early on, with 20 games in the first 21 days. The Jays start with home series against Baltimore and Washington before hitting the road for tough matchups against the Mets, Red Sox, and Orioles again. It’s going to be a challenging stretch, but it will also serve as an early test of how well this team is built.
Toronto fans are eager to see what this season brings. Will it be a redemption story after last year’s disappointment? Or will uncertainties around key players overshadow their potential? One thing’s for sure—there’s plenty of excitement as the Blue Jays take the field for the first time in 2025.
