Report: Seranthony Dominguez' future with the Blue Jays revealed
The Toronto Blue Jays have a massive off-season ahead with multiple key players on expiring deals including Seranthony Dominguez.
By far the biggest player the Blue Jays will be focusing on this off-season is Bo Bichette who most believe will end up returning with a massive new deal.
Blue Jays likely to keep Seranthony Dominguez this off-season
The Blue Jays traded for Dominguez at the deadline to add some much needed power in their bullpen and a backup option in case they plan on pulling Jeff Hoffman out of the closer role.
"Acquired at the trade deadline, Seranthony Dominguez was brought in to bring some firepower to the back end of the bullpen." -Shushkewich
According to a recent report, it looks like keeping Dominguez is in the Blue Jays plan especially if they could land him at his current value of $8 million.
While the Blue Jays have some big names they will likely focus on first such as Max Scherzer, Shane Bieber and Bo Bichette, Dominguez is definitely a player that would be great to have back.
"Keeping Dominguez might be a smart move for the Jays, especially if he's willing to sign for a similar value he is making this season ($8 million). It might be a bit too pricey for the Jays, considering they have some other big fish to fry this winter, but bringing back Dominguez on a short-term deal isn't a bad option to have." -Shushkewich
So far this season, Dominguez has pitcher 55.1 innings between the Baltimore Orioles and Blue Jays, with 2 saves, 71 strikeouts and a 3.42 ERA in 59 games.
Since joining the Blue Jays, Dominguez has a 3.95 ERA in 13.2 innings pitched to go along with 17 strikeouts, a 1-1 record and a 1.32 WHIP in 16 games.
Dominguez might not be the center of the Blue Jays bullpen and the most crucial piece but at the same time he is certainly a player that they need to focus on bringing back.
