The Toronto Blue Jays added an All-Star to their bullpen on Friday by signing a former Philadelphia Phillies right-hander to a 3-year, $33 million contract.
The Toronto Blue Jays' latest free signee reportedly failed physicals with two different teams before signing a three-year, $33 million contract.
In a statement, Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Hoffman will get a chance to close games, the role that Jordan Romano filled for most of the last four seasons.

All-Star reliever Jeff Hoffman and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a $33 million, three-year contract. The team announced the deal two days after his 32nd birthday.
Hoffman, 31, revitalized his career over the last two seasons with Philadelphia. Signed to a minor league deal in April 2023, Hoffman has a 2.28 ERA over the last two seasons. The Phillies took a flier on him after he threw live batting practice to a rehabbing Bryce Harper and were rewarded for it.
