With the Class of 2025 now behind us, we can start to focus on 2026, where former Toronto Blue Jays star Edwin Encarnacion will get his first crack at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

After coming in second on some high-profile free agents in the last two offseasons, the Blue Jays have signed switch-hitting outfielder Anthony Santander for five years and $92.5 million. His 44 home runs last year with the Orioles were third-most in the sport.

In the middle of the 2012 season, Derek Jeter found out he would be teammates with Ichiro Suzuki after the New York Yankees acquired him.

Recently elected Hal of Famer, Ichiro Suzuki was a Yankee for a 2 1/2 seasons but was still productive after being acquired from the Seattle Mariners.

Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of unanimous when he was elected Tuesday along with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

After Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner were voted into Cooperstown by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday, Martin was among three former Blue Jays that didn't garner the five per cent of the vote required to have their candidacy carried onto 2026.

The Toronto Blue Jays landed a big free agent target this week in outfielder Anthony Santander, and are reportedly looking to add to their pitching staff.

Seattle Mariners legend and Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki tries to hold back his tears after his team announced his jersey retirement.

The 2025 class of the National Baseball Hall of Fame will be announced on Tuesday night and while left-handed pitcher Mark Buehrle won't be getting in this time around, he will be staying on the ballot for at least another year.

The removal of any player from the Hall of Fame is unlikely, but not impossible. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's BBWAA rules for election do not outline any process for removing an inductee, and there is no precedent for removing an inductee who has already been enshrined.
