"The Toronto Blue Jays' pitching staff has undergone a serious makeover this offseason. Gone are Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt, and (technically) Alex Manoah; in their stead, Cody Ponce and Dylan Cease have come to reinforce the rotation. The situation is so crowded that José Berrios might not even have a spot within the pitching corps next season, which would make any further additions difficult to accommodate."
"Ricky Tiedemann could force his way onto Blue Jays' Opening Day roster in spring training Depending on who you ask, the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect could be any of a number of young arms. Yesavage probably deserves the distinction after his brilliant postseason run, but he's going to graduate from prospect status in short order. Jake Bloss has the pedigree, but he's still recovering from UCL surgery he underwent in May."
"He hasn't pitched at all since July of 2024, when he underwent Tommy John surgery. However, the team added him to the 40-man roster in November in order to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, and he's on track to be ready by spring training. The hard-throwing southpaw hasn't been the same since climbing four levels and striking out 44.1% of batters in 2023, but"
The Toronto Blue Jays rebuilt their rotation, replacing veteran arms with Cody Ponce and Dylan Cease and creating a crowded pitching corps. José Berrios could lack a roster spot next season given the influx of arms, which would limit further additions. Several young pitchers in the organization stand ready for opportunities, with Trey Yesavage already proving he can seize a chance. Ricky Tiedemann remains a notable prospect despite limited innings and Tommy John surgery in July 2024. The team added him to the 40-man roster to protect him, and he is on track to be available by spring training.
