Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
Jeff Hoffman signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, with incentives that could push the total value higher. This move marked Hoffman’s return to Toronto, where he began his MLB career, and positioned him as a late-inning option for the Blue Jays in 2025 and beyond.
Prior to finalizing with Toronto, Hoffman had been connected to a potential agreement with the Orioles, but that deal did not close after a physical issue was flagged, leading to the Blue Jays pairing him with their bullpen slated for late-inning responsibilities.
Hoffman’s 2024 season with the Phillies featured a strong performance that helped drive expectations for a back-end bullpen role in 2025, including a showcase of swing-and-miss ability and command that teams value in closer or high-leverage relief spots.
If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date articles from MLB and major outlets and summarize any new developments or follow the contract’s status (e.g., incentives reached, any changes to role, or injuries).
