The Toronto Blue Jays attempted to revamp their bullpen for 2025 after having one of the worst bullpens in the league last season.

With additions headlined by Jeff Hoffman and Nick Sandlin, the Blue Jays looks to have a competitive bullpen for the upcoming season, but how does the bullpen truly look? In this episode, we break down the transition the bullpen has undergone this offseason, and how some of these arms will preform in 2025. Can we expect big things from the bullpen this season? Will Erik Swanson have a bounce back season? Are Chad Green’s best years in the bullpen behind him? Will the addition of Yariel Rodriguez transform the bullpen in 2025? We’ll answer all these questions while providing you with the most up-to-date news and analysis on this episode of Locked On Blue Jays.
