Toronto Blue Jays fans are finally happy when looking at their current bullpen as it looks like a serious step up from last season after signing pitcher Jeff Hoffman.
The Blue Jays agreed to a three year deal worth $33 million with free agent pitcher Jeff Hoffman and fans are very excited to see what he will bring to the table as he was one of the best relief pitchers in baseball last year.
Blue Jays fans are excited on how the bullpen looks for the 2025 season
A major concern heading into the 2025 season for the Blue Jays was improving their bullpen after a horrific 2024 season in which they had one of the worst bullpens in all of baseball.
Must read on Blue Jays Insider
This off-season they have added quite a few solid relief pitchers such as bringing back Yimi Garcia, trading for Nick Sandlin, signing Josh Walker and now Jeff
Hoffman.
All of a sudden, the #BlueJays bullpen is looking a little stronger...
If the Blue Jays can find themselves a starting pitcher to take Yariel Rodriguez' spot in the starting rotation, they will have a seriously solid bullpen to start off the 2025 season.
Thinking here. You acquire another SP and then shift Yariel to the bullpen. You're looking at:
Burr
Sandlin
Swanson
Little
Yariel
Green
Yimi
Hoffman
That can play.
Hoffman is surely their top relief pitcher now as he was an all-star last season for the Philadelphia Phillies putting up incredible numbers and finishing the year as one of the best relief pitchers in the American League.
While fans would love to see them land at least one more relief pitcher to possibly not have Zach Pop in the rotation, things are definitely looking a lot better than they did last season.
