Pedro Martinez channeled his inner Magic Johnson recently by going full Captain Obvious with his take on a struggling American League team, and fans are having the time of their lives reacting to it.
For all the baseball wisdom of the Hall of Famer, Martinez came up with a take on the Blue Jays that perhaps even the most casual fan could make.
“I believe the Blue Jays didn’t come out as they wanted to after the World Series,” the three-time Cy Young Award winner wrote in a post on X.

Martinez’s surface-level observation, however, checks out.
After representing the American League in the World Series and coming just a win away from winning the Fall Classic against the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers, the Blue Jays have taken quite a plunge in the 2026 MLB season.
Through Wednesday, the Blue Jays are just fourth in the AL East standings with a 62-66 record (15 games behind the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays).
That said, Toronto is only a game outside of the wild card picture in the AL with 34 games left on its schedule, including the series finale against the Rays Thursday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.
