"With Seranthony Domínguez hitting free agency, general manager Ross Atkins has at least one high-leverage spot to fill this winter - two if they believe Yimi García won't be ready for Opening Day following his injury-plagued 2025 campaign. Fortunately, this year's class is flush with intriguing late-inning relievers, including names such as Edwin Díaz (whom they've already expressed interest in), Robert Suarez, Devin Williams and Ryan Helsley, to name a few."
"Soto was part of the Mets' bullpen overhaul at this past season's trade deadline, which also included Helsley and Tyler Rogers, with the team sending a pair of pitching prospects to the O's in exchange for the pending free agent. It's the first time in his career that he's reached the open market. The 30-year-old Soto was a workhorse this past season, making a career-high 70 relief appearances between Baltimore and New York, spanning 60.1 innings. He sported a combined 4.18 ERA, but that was outdone by his career-best 3.42 FIP and 8.6 per cent walk rate."
Toronto Blue Jays prioritize starting pitching this off-season, slightly ahead of re-signing shortstop Bo Bichette. The front office also aims to upgrade the back end of the bullpen, with Seranthony Domínguez entering free agency and at least one high-leverage role to fill. Yimi García's injury-plagued 2025 season raises the possibility of a second late-inning need. Top-tier closers like Edwin Díaz, Robert Suarez, Devin Williams and Ryan Helsley will command significant contracts. Cost considerations could push the Blue Jays toward more affordable options such as left-hander Gregory Soto. In 2025 Soto made a career-high 70 relief appearances, threw 60.1 innings, posted a 4.18 ERA, a 3.42 FIP and an 8.6% walk rate.
