The Toronto Blue Jays have traded right-handed reliever Jeff Hoffman.
Toronto continued its active trade deadline by dealing right-handed reliever Jeff Hoffman to the Minnesota Twins.
“The Minnesota Twins are acquiring reliever Jeff Hoffman in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, sources tell ESPN,” Passan wrote on X.
Hoffman signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the Blue Jays ahead of the 2025 MLB season. He was the team’s closer and allowed a game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 of the World Series.
Hoffman is 6-7 with a 3.94 ERA in 51 games for the Blue Jays this season. However, he did lose the closer’s role to Louis Varland, and a fresh start after last year’s heartbreak made sense.
More to come.
