The Toronto Blue Jays still seem unsure regarding bullpen pitcher Ryan Burr heading into off-season as many believe he will not begin the season in Toronto.
The Blue Jays acquired Ryan Burr from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for cash and while the trade seemed to be nothing at the start, Burr turned into one of the few bright spots in the Blue Jays bullpen in the second half of the season.
At the end of May, the Blue Jays traded cash to the Philadelphia Phillies for Ryan Burr. In return, Toronto received a solid reliever who could pitch for the team from 2025 onward. He became a regular in early July finishing with a 4.13 ERA and a 3.07 FIP in 32.2 innings pitched, with a 33.6 K% and an 8.6 BB%. -Delaney
The Blue Jays are still unsure if pitcher Ryan Burr will be in Toronto to start the season
Burr has one more option seasoning remaining heading into the 2025 season and despite being one of the few solid pitchers in the Blue Jays bullpen in the second half of the 2024 season, it is still unsure if he will be with them to start the season next year.
Burr may not make the 2025 Blue Jays out of Spring Training depending on the moves the team makes. However, he has one more option season remaining in 2025, meaning he's a great depth piece for the Blue Jays. -Delaney
The Blue Jays want to see a drastic improvement in their bullpen in 2025 which is why they plan on going after quite a few free agents during the winter which is why Burr might not have a spot to start the 2025 season.
It will be interesting to see if the Blue Jays end up signing as many bullpen pitchers as they hope in free agency since the number of pitchers they bring in will determine if Burr will be in Toronto next season.
