"Recently, Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report wrote an article titled "Each MLB Team's Biggest Roster Hole to Fix in 2025-26 Offseason. Reuter named every team's biggest issue and a logical target for each team. For the Blue Jays, Reuter was quick to point out relief pitching being a hole to fix, but named Tyler Rogers as the logical target for the team to sign. "Young arms such as Braydon Fisher, Mason Fluharty, Brendon Little and Yariel Rodriguez give them depth, but another experienced late-inning veteran should be atop their wish list," Reuter said about the Blue Jays."
"One thing is for certain, Rogers was one of the better relievers in the MLB in 2025 at 34 years old. Combined with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets, Rogers finished with a 1.98 ERA in 91 games pitched. Rogers' 91 games was the most games he's pitched in a season in his career, and his ERA was the lowest in his career for a single season (1.02 ERA in 2017, but pitched in 16 games). Numbers like that should have a lot of teams interested in Rogers, including the Blue Jays who will once again be in the market for relief pitching."
Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees in four games to win the 2025 ALDS and will play in the ALCS for the first time since 2016. Toronto will await the winner of the Detroit Tigers–Seattle Mariners series, with Game 5 scheduled in Seattle. Relief pitching is identified as the primary offseason need despite depth from young arms Braydon Fisher, Mason Fluharty, Brendon Little and Yariel Rodriguez. Veteran lefty Tyler Rogers posted a 1.98 ERA across 91 games in 2025 and is considered an attractive late-inning target to bolster Toronto's bullpen.
