The Toronto Blue jays former pitcher Tim Mayza is headed to the World Series and is proving that he might not have been the problem, it was likely the Blue Jays coaching staff.
Mayza was the longest tenured Blue Jay when the team decided to release him after a rough 2024 season with a 8.03 ERA in 35 outings in Blue and White this season.
However, the left-hander posted an 8.03 ERA through 35 outings this year and was sporting numbers across the board that were unacceptable, even for the cellar-dwelling Blue Jays. His strikeouts were down, his walks were up and he was allowing harder contact and more base hits than he ever had before in his big league career. -Treuden

After being DFA'd by the Blue Jays, Mayza was picked up by the Yankees where he seem to have turned his season completely around posting a 4.00 ERA in 15 outings and even playing in the playoffs for the Yankees.
Mayza has made a few appearances throughout the playoffs for the Yankees and has had a total of 1.1 scoreless innings in that time frame.
He made 15 regular-season appearances for New York down the stretch, posting a 4.00 ERA through 18 innings, which is certainly better than he had been in Toronto. The southpaw made a pair of playoff outings for the Yankees, going a total of 1.1 scoreless innings with two walks, two base hits and one strikeout to his name. -Treuden
As Mayza has been able to turn his season around, it has made a lot of fans wonder if the reason for his terrible time in Toronto this season is due to the Blue Jays coaching staff that could not help him.
