Every successful team has their headline stars, but they also have a few X-factors who contribute in their own special ways. This year, the Toronto Blue Jays expect big things from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, and Alek Manoah.

As Spring Training comes to an end and Opening Day approaches on Thursday, the AL East is headlined by stars and has the potential to be the strongest division in the MLB. Last season, the New York Yankees finished atop the division with a 99-63 record. The Toronto Blue Jays (92-70) came in second, while the Tampa Bay Rays (86-76), Baltimore Orioles (83-79) and Boston Red Sox (78-84) followed. The division featured three teams in the 2022 postseason (Yankees, Blue Jays and Rays) which tied the NL East for the most playoff teams from a division.
