1. Well at least we’ll win Best Picture.

2. Both managers from last year went back to back

3. What the hell does John Schneider have to do to win it?

   Surely it’s more difficult to go from last to first in the AL East than it is to just win the AL Central in three of the last four years

4. HOW?

5. 

6. 🙁

7. Schneider was robbed.

8. That settles it, we’re actually just cursed

9. Pretty much par for the course this year, Jays get snubbed again for an award. I think the BBWAA might have a bit of a grudge against us or something.

10. Big brain moves by ownership to not spend on talent and overachieve so that the manager can win Manager of the Year

11. This hurts Schneider’s chances of winning imo

12. BJ’s fans not gonna be happy about this one

13. The Guardians are all alone in first place with six MOTY awards all-time.

    **Active Manager of the Year droughts**

    Blue Jays, 1985 (Bobby Cox)
    Astros, 1998 (Larry Dierker)
    Yankees, 1998 (Joe Torre)
    Red Sox, 1999 (Jimy Williams)
    Reds, 1999 (Jack McKeon)

    24 other teams have won MOTY at least twice since the last time Toronto won.

14. Figures. Thought it’d be Wilson, though.

15. You have to win the division later in the year I guess? Jays should have sucked earlier and moved some of those wins to the end if they wanted to win manager of the year?

16. JS got robbed.

    [going into the season everyone had the Jays last or 2nd last in the division and they ended up winning not only the division but the AL](https://imgur.com/a/vLaSD2Y)

    such bullshit

17. This man put Johnathan Rodriguez in the cleanup spot and won MOTY, he can’t keep getting away with it.

18. Jays got absolutely skunked on awards this year rofl.

19. 

20. How the fuck? Schneider took a 5th place team from last year to winning their division.

21. Jays have an amazing recovery season from last year and literally make it to game 7 of the world series, narrowly losing to the Dodgers. But based on the award season, you wouldn’t even know that. Fuck me.

22. Not Schneider? SMH…..

23. Baseball writers of America and America only

24. 

25. See, I told you we’d get screwed again here

26. He got a lot of Vogts.

27. On one hand, Cleveland came back from 15.5 GB. On the other hand, Cleveland was **15.5 GB** at some point in the season.

28. Wilson robbed almost as much as Schneider

29. He is the award itself?? 🧐

30. Scheinder punching the air rn. What a way to start the week as a Jays fan huh

31. Nahh should’ve been Schneider. The AL East is way harder to win than the AL Comedy Central.

32. Over Schneider and Wilson is an absolute joke.

33. thought schneider would get it

34. I guess the Blue Jays just didn’t have enough Vogts

35. Even a Yankees fan like me thinks this is a odd call.

    Jays added +20 in their win total from 2024 to 2025. They went from last place in the AL East to first, as well as the AL #1 seed.

    Cleveland had a -4 from 2024 to 2025, and had already won the division the previous year.

    Weird.

36. It’s kind of franchise tradition at this point in Toronto.

    Cito Gaston never won Manager of the Year either, mostly because his teams were “so good anyone could manage them to World Championships”.
