The Toronto Blue Jays walk away from quite a few pitcher this off-season including Genesis Cabrera who has now signed a new deal with the New York Mets.
The Blue Jays had one of the worst bullpen's in the MLB last season which is why they decided to release many of their pitchers as they look for a fresh start signing new relief pitchers in free agency.
The Mets have signed former Blue Jays pitcher Genesis Cabrera to a deal
News just broke that former Blue Jays relief pitcher Genesis Cabrera just agreed to a one year contract with the New York Mets on a minor league deal that also has a major league Spring Training invitation.

Cabrera is coming off a decent season with the Blue Jays in which he finished with a 3.59 ERA in 69 games for Toronto which included 2 saves which is why many fans believed the Blue Jays would bring him back for the 2025 season.

This is a surprising deal since most would have thought heading into free agency that Cabrera would be able to land a major league deal but it looks like he was only able to land a minor league one.
Due to his experience and numbers in the majors, Cabrera will likely see some time in the MLB next season even if he starts his year in Triple-A.
