Nine years ago, the Royals bested the Blue Jays in a terrific six-game series to win the 2015 American League pennant. The Blue Jays quickly bottomed out not long after that, rebuilding a new contending team that has made the playoffs in three of the last four years but has not won a post-season game over that time. The Royals’ rebuild has taken a bit longer, but there are signs the two teams could be clashing again for meaningful baseball games again soon.
