The Toronto Blue Jays have released a few pitchers already and it looks like more is to come as Jordan Romano, Dillon Tate and Erik Swanson's jobs are in jeopardy.
Toronto has made it clear that they plan or truly shaking things up when it comes to their bullpen this off-season after having the worst ERA in the American League last season.
More Blue Jays pitchers jobs in jeopardy as Erik Swanson, Dillon Tate and Jordan Romano might be on their way out
The Blue Jays already began this major turn over in the last day as they placed pitchers Genesis Cabrera and Luis Frias on waivers on waivers while Emmanuel Ramirez was DFA'd.
Now they have both Erik Swanson and Dillon Tate who are non-tender candidates and after mediocre seasons in 2024 there is a chance that they will be departing as well. Romano on the other hand is still recovering from his surgery and with an projected salary of $7.5 million, the Blue Jays might look at letting him go if he is not healthy.
Regardless of what happens in the rotation, the Blue Jays will be looking for relief help - and the departure of Cabrera only heightens that need. There could be further departures coming too, as Dillon Tate and Erik Swanson are non-tender candidates while Jordan Romano continues progressing toward mound work after undergoing arthroscopic surgery in July. -Nicholson-Smith
If the Blue Jays do end up walking away from decent relief pitchers such as Romano, Swanson and Tate because they want to get solid relievers, they need to make sure that they are able to get those types of pitchers, if not they will end up with an even worse bullpen.
