Garcia put together a solid season in 2024 with his time split between Seattle and Toronto in which he finished with a 3.46 ERA in 39 innings pitched with 49 strikeouts and 5 saves.
This move will be good for the Blue Jays bullpen which is currently extremely depleted after walking away from multiple relief pitcher at the beginning of the off-season including their closer Jordan Romano.
Paying Garcia an average of $7.5 million per season over the next two years for a reliable relief pitcher who knows the Blue Jays system seems like a great deal and even better place to start their free agent signings.
WELCOME HOME YIMI GARCIA!
Great signing
Great signing
Hopefully this is the beginning of many solid signings by Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins this off-season.
