"Yimi Garcia returns to the fold, but there's no guarantee he finds the same form from his early 2025 days. The Jays are also banking on Mason Fluharty and Braydon Fisher avoiding a sophomore slump and Brendon Little finding his early 2025 form, while the club appears to be leaning towards Jeff Hoffman as their closer after an up-and-down 2025 campaign."
"The addition of Tyler Rogers raises the floor of this group, and some wildcards in Tommy Nance, Spencer Miles, Angel Bastardo, Chase Lee, and Jesse Hahn, amongst other NRI's, could turn into something greater this spring, but Jays fans likely wouldn't be upset with some more established names in the group. Understandably, this late into February, there are no top names like Edwin Diaz or Robert Suarez"
The Toronto Blue Jays reached the brink of a World Series title and entered the offseason recognizing bullpen depth as a weakness. Louis Varland and Seranthony Dominguez absorbed heavy late-season workloads, creating uncertainty about relief durability. Yimi Garcia returns but may not replicate early 2025 form; Mason Fluharty, Braydon Fisher, and Brendon Little carry performance risk. The club appears to favor Jeff Hoffman as closer after an inconsistent 2025, with Eric Lauer likely in a long-man role and Cody Ponce's destination unclear amid rotation congestion. Tyler Rogers increases reliability, while several low-risk veterans or NRI signings could further stabilize the relief corps.
