Blue Jays Re-Sign Yimi García to Two-Year Deal

The Toronto Blue Jays have reached an agreement with right-hander Yimi García on a two-year, $15 million deal, reports Ari Alexander of KPRC 2. García, who is represented by the Nova Sports Agency, will be returning to the Blue Jays without the need for a corresponding move, as the team has openings on their 40-man roster.

García, 34, was a reliable arm in the Blue Jays' bullpen during the first half of the 2024 season before being traded to the Seattle Mariners. Over his career, García has posted a 3.44 ERA with nine saves and 179 strikeouts in 163 appearances with Toronto. His return is seen as a positive step towards rebuilding the bullpen, especially after longtime closer Jordan Romano signed with the Philadelphia Phillies 


The Blue Jays are expected to make additional moves to strengthen their bullpen, but García's re-signing provides a solid foundation to build upon. Fans can look forward to seeing García back in a high-leverage role, contributing to the team's success in the upcoming seasons.
