"Barring any injuries or unforeseen trades, the Blue Jays bullpen is almost set in stone. Jeff Hoffman, Yimi García, Tyler Rogers, and Louis Varland make up the relievers who'll pitch in high-leverage, while Brendon Little and Braydon Fisher have surely earned a spot in the bullpen. That leaves two spots available, with Eric Lauer and José Berríos likely filling those spots."
"Since 2023, he's pitched with the Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, Tigers, Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals, and Los Angeles Angels. Last season was spent with the latter two, where he posted a 2.41 ERA and 3.46 FIP in 33.2 innings pitched. Chafin has always struggled with command, as he has a career BB% of 10.2%, but that jumped to 13.3% in 2025. That said, he kept the ball in the yard and struck out 25.2% of the batters he faced while pitching in middle relief."
The Blue Jays project a mostly set bullpen with Jeff Hoffman, Yimi García, Tyler Rogers, and Louis Varland handling high-leverage innings and Brendon Little and Braydon Fisher securing roster spots. Two remaining bullpen positions appear likely to go to Eric Lauer and José Berríos if health and roster stability hold. Rule 5 selections like Angel Bastardo and Spencer Miles, plus Tommy Nance being out of options, create additional roster pressure. The team values pitching depth and could add veteran relievers. Andrew Chafin is presented as a potential left-handed option with extensive team experience and mixed walk and strikeout metrics.
