The Toronto Blue Jays have signed left-handed pitcher Amir Garrett to a minor league contract with the potential for a low seven-figure salary if he makes the active roster. Once a promising reliever, Garrett faced significant control issues leading to a career-low inning count in 2024 while primarily playing in Triple-A. Despite a history of high strikeout rates, his increasing walk rates and difficulty with home runs raise questions about his ability to regain his form. His recent minor league stats suggest some improvement, but his performance going forward remains uncertain as he approaches 33 years old.
"Control problems have long plagued Garrett's career, but he kept the walks in check long enough to deliver some good results out of the Reds' bullpen during the 2018-20 seasons."
"Garrett's mid-90's velocity and strikeout potential is still apparent, showcasing a 27.2% strikeout rate over his last four seasons of big league work."
