The Blue Jays have signed left-handed reliever Joe Mantiply and utilityman Buddy Kennedy to minor league contracts. Mantiply had a solid track record with the Diamondbacks from 2021-24 but struggled significantly this season, posting a 15.83 ERA in the majors and 5.56 ERA in Triple-A. Kennedy, having limited big league at-bats, hit .193 across four seasons. The Jays' bullpen already includes several lefties, with Mantiply providing additional depth for the team.
