The Blue Jays announced the signing of Jeff Hoffman to a three-year, $33MM free agent contract. MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported earlier this evening that Hoffman and the Jays have been in productive discussions about a multi-year contract. The deal includes an additional $6MM in performance bonuses for CAA’s client, FanSided’s Robert Murray reports.
General manager Ross Atkins said in a statement that Hoffman “will have an opportunity to close games” (reported by Keegan Matheson of MLB.com). That suggests they plan to keep the right-hander in the later innings. Hoffman reportedly received interest from teams as a first baseman.
More to come.
