The Blue Jays landed free agent reliever Jeff Hoffman on Friday, signing a free agent after being linked in varying degrees to other names on the market.

" (The Blue Jays) kept losing out on big-name free agents and landing Anthony Santander plus Jeff Hoffman shouldn't be enough," Snyder wrote.
The Blue Jays have whiffed on many top free agents such as Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Corbin Burnes. They finally cashed in when they lured Santander to town. Getting Alonso to sign on the dotted line would prove that Toronto is serious about competing in 2025.
