The Blue Jays bullpen has be atrocious this season rankings amongst one of the worst in the league.
If they truly plan on being a World Series contender next season, they will need to make a point this off-season of going after some serious relief pitchers.
In the past past, Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro has never signed a reliever to a long term deal or for serious money, the biggest deal being an $11 million contract to Yimi Garcia for 2 years.
In nine off-seasons under Mark Shapiro & Ross Atkins, the Blue Jays haven't guaranteed more than $11 million to a free agent reliever or gone beyond two years. This off-season, they should be open to making an exception
Everyone is secretly hoping that the Blue Jays can land Juan Soto but when looking at last year and the Ohtani situation, focusing on one player all off-season is the wrong move.
The Blue Jays will need seriously improve their bullpen if they want to have a real chance at winning next season.
