It's no secret that the 2024 season has been extremely disappointing falling short of expectations sadly the bullpen has played a major part in that. Not only has this group ranked one of the worst bullpen's in franchise history, they've been one of the worst bullpens in the majors. They've given up most homers (89), 27th in ERA (4.72) and 29th in strikeouts with 481.
In order to compete within one of the toughest divisions in baseball again, revamping an abysmal bullpen must be one of the top priorities. Although this doesn't make for pretty reading there are a few members that the Blue Jays must bring back in 2025.
Génesis Cabrera
Cabrera's had a solid year for Toronto owning a respectable 3.10 ERA in 61 innings pitched. He's pitched significantly better to lefties than righties holding opponents to a .220 average, (compared to .278 against RHB) with nine walks alongside a .730 OPS.
He's thrived in medium-leverage scenarios yet most of his appearances this season have come in low leverage (45 games), where he's struggled the most and given up seven home runs. Though a small sample size he has struggled over his past seven games 4.26 ERA, seven hits, three earned runs and five strikeouts, He will be a free agent after the 2025 season alongside Chad Green and Jordan Romano. Yes, Cabrera struggles at times with his command; perhaps he should pitch more in lower leverage he does pitch extremely well against left-handed batters.
