For any fan who's followed the Toronto Blue Jays for a long time, they know just how daunting the American League East can be. The Blue Jays have won the division just six times since 1977, including when it was a seven-team division from 1977 to 1993. What would a new division look like for the Blue Jays? While the current division setup does have historical precedent, it's not nearly the one that would minimize the travel schedule for Toronto. The Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, and Pittsburgh Pirates are the three closest teams to Toronto, as pointed out on Sport Map World via Blue Jays Nation's Tyson Shushkewich.
