Toronto plays in one of the toughest divisions in baseball with teams like the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox competing against it.The Blue Jays have also fallen short on a lot of different free agent targets. They were reportedly in on Juan Soto, Teoscar Hernández, Max Fried, and Corbin Burnes among others, but fell short of each free agent.

While he fell apart in the postseason, his regular season was good enough to cast no doubt on his abilities as a late inning, high leverage reliever.
