Adam Kloffenstein has signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, returning to the team that drafted him in 2018. After a brief major league stint with the St. Louis Cardinals, which included an unimpressive Triple-A season where he registered a 4.74 ERA, he was non-tendered and became a free agent. The Blue Jays are familiar with Kloffenstein and may see the potential to help him improve his performance as they build for the upcoming season, despite significant competition for rotation spots.
Kloffenstein, 24, returns to his original club. The Jays selected him in the third round of the 2018 draft.
His Triple-A numbers weren't amazing on the year, as he allowed 4.74 earned runs per nine innings over his 17 starts.
After that uninspiring year, the Cards decided to move on. Kloffenstein was non-tendered in November, getting sent to free agency.
The Jays are plenty familiar with Kloffenstein from his time in the system, so perhaps they believe there's a way to get him back on track.
