The Toronto Blue Jays are navigating a complex offseason as they consider their pitching strategy. They are reportedly interested in high-profile free agents like Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell, and Max Fried, despite already having a solid rotation with Kevin Gausman, Chris Bassitt, Jose Berrios, Bowden Francis, and Yariel Rodriguez.

Additionally, the non-tendering of longtime closer Jordan Romano has left a significant gap in the bullpen. This might lead to a shift in roles, with Rodriguez potentially moving to a high-leverage position. His previous performance suggests he could thrive in a bullpen role, especially if the team secures a top-tier starter.
