Poll: Will there be fireworks between Blue Jays, Rangers?

It's been over seven months since Josh Donaldson's electrifying head-first slide into home plate in extra innings secured the 2016 American League Division Series for the Toronto Blue Jays over the Texas Rangers.

Donaldson's hustle play may have also shifted the balance of power in a heated rivalry after Texas appeared to have earned its payback for Jose Bautista's epic bat flip from 2015 thanks to the right hand of Rougned Odor.

Jeff Banister says his club isn't thinking about the feud entering Friday, but that may just be smoke and mirrors from the Rangers skipper.

With Texas set to take the field in Toronto to challenge the Blue Jays for the first time this season, will the two teams continue to make one of baseball's most passionate rivalries that much more intense? Or will the two clubs just come to play ball and leave their troubled history in the past?
