Blue Jays Strengthen Bullpen with New Signings

The Toronto Blue Jays are making significant changes to their bullpen by signing Tyler Rogers to a three-year, $37 million deal, which includes a vesting option that could extend the contract to four years and $48 million.

This move follows a playoff run where the team struggled with their bullpen, prompting them to take action during the offseason. Rogers, known for his unconventional underhand delivery, has a career ERA of 2.76 and boasts impressive stats such as a low walk rate, having only walked 13 batters in his last two years over nearly 150 innings.

His ability to induce ground balls and avoid significant injuries makes him a valuable addition to a team with a strong defensive lineup. The Blue Jays have also been active in reinforcing their pitching staff, having previously selected Spencer Miles in the Rule 5 draft and trading for sidearmer Chase Lee, indicating a focused strategy to bolster their relief options.
