The Buffalo Bills aren’t hiding the fact that they’ll be rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays in the upcoming ALDS.
The Jays were able to earn a bye through the wild-card round thanks to finishing atop the AL East Division. As a result, they awaited the winner of a wild-card series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox to determine who they’d go up against in the best-of-five series.
We now know that it will be the Yankees, who eliminated the Red Sox on Thursday night. While most would expect those who live in New York state to support the Yankees, that may not entirely be the case, as the Bills made their opinion crystal clear on Friday morning.

Of course, the biggest reason for this is the fact that the Jays’ Triple-A affiliate is located in Buffalo. Whether not realizing or simply not caring, however, many Yankees fans felt frustrated over this post, given that the Bills are considered to be a New York team.

It’s also worth mentioning that despite Buffalo being in New York state, it’s actually significantly closer in proximity to Toronto than it is to New York City. That won’t help change the minds of Yankees fans living in Buffalo, however.
“Living in Buffalo for two years now, this is upsetting,” one user wrote on X.
The five-game series between the Blue Jays and Yankees is set to begin this Saturday. The first two games will take place at Rogers Centre, while Game 3, as well as a potential Game 4, will be played at Yankee Stadium. Should the two go the distance and require a Game 5, both teams would return to Toronto to determine who moves on to the ALCS.
