"Alcala spent 2025 playing with three different MLB teams. He started the year with the Minnesota Twins, was traded to Boston in June, and then selected off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals in August. Between the three teams he pitched in 56 games, accumulating 55 innings and had a good strikeout rate of 10.0 K/9, but an awful 4.9 BB/9 rate and a 1.75 WHIP, with a 6.22 ERA and he also allowed 13 home runs."
"It's been a tough couple of years for Alcala who, at one point, was looked at as a staple of the Twins the bullpen. Between 2020 and 2021, he threw 83.2 innings, with a 3.55 ERA and a 27.2% strikeout rate with a 6.5% walk rate. His four-seam fastball during that time averaged 97 mph. But he missed significant time over the next few seasons and pitched just under 20 innings due to various arm issues."
Jorge Alcala agreed to a minor-league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and received a spring training invite. Alcala pitched for three MLB teams in 2025—the Minnesota Twins, Boston, and St. Louis—appearing in 56 games and 55 innings with a 10.0 K/9, 4.9 BB/9, 1.75 WHIP, 6.22 ERA, and 13 home runs allowed. Alcala posted stronger results in 2020–21, throwing 83.2 innings with a 3.55 ERA, 27.2% strikeout rate, and a 97 mph four-seam fastball. Missed time and arm issues followed, and the Blue Jays view the signing as a low-cost, high-reward chance for a rebound.
