Are the Blue Jays Now a Bigger Threat to the Yankees Than the Red Sox?

For the better part of the past 20 years, the American League East has been dominated by two teams—the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. One or the other of these bitter rivals has won the division crown 14 of those 20 years. Only recently has another team—the Tampa Bay Rays—managed to capture the title twice in the past four seasons.
In 2012 things may be changing.
The Toronto Blue Jays have subtly rebuilt their team over the past few seasons and have emerged as a legitimate threat within the division. In fact, many of baseball’s experts are predicting that Toronto will finish ahead of Boston in the standings when all is said and done in 2012.
The Yankees are the defending champions of the division and now may need to realize that their constant watchful eye on the enemies from Boston perhaps should refocus on the team from across the border.
A closer look at the Red Sox and Blue Jays may provide us with an answer as to who is the real threat to the Bronx Bombers in the division.
