"Domínguez performed admirably for the Blue Jays in 2025 after being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline. He pitched to a 3.00 ERA (144 ERA+) and 1.143 WHIP with 25 strikeouts in 21 regular-season innings. His postseason performance was more of a mixed bag as he struggled with his command, an issue that isn't new for the right-hander."
"His overall body of work is incredibly consistent year-over-year- a rare commodity among relievers. Teams know exactly what they are getting with Domínguez, and that's what the Blue Jays need, given the number of question marks in their bullpen . Domínguez always throws hard and generates swings-and-misses. He averaged 97.7 mph on his fastball in 2025 while getting whiffs 33.3% of the time. Unfortunately, walks remain part of the experience as evidenced by his 1st percentile 13.8% BB rate."
"Nobody is mistaking the 31-year-old as an elite option given his command issues, and his price tag this winter should reflect that. A two-year deal that pays approximately $10 million annually with some incentives feels reasonable and realistic. Jeff Hoffman's three-year, $33-million deal is one of the largest contracts the Blue Jays' current front office has ever handed out to a relief pitcher, behind BJ Ryan and his five-year, $47 million pact."
Seranthony Domínguez posted a 3.00 ERA (144 ERA+) and 1.143 WHIP with 25 strikeouts in 21 regular-season innings after joining the Blue Jays at the 2025 trade deadline. His postseason command deteriorated, reflecting a recurring control issue despite consistent year-to-year performance. He averaged a 97.7 mph fastball with a 33.3% whiff rate, but a 13.8% walk rate ranks in the 1st percentile. A two-year contract near $10 million per season with incentives matches his impact and flaws. Comparisons to recent bullpen deals suggest the Blue Jays will avoid oversized reliever contracts and re-signing him appears the prudent option.
