Part 6/9:
With this new arrangement, the Blue Jays can improve their relief pitching, making it one of the more formidable units. Jeff Hoffman is expected to handle closing duties, while others like Chaz Green, Eric Swanson, and Yimi Garcia will further bolster the charge. However, there remains a question of left-handed options, as the current roster lacks sufficient lefty presence, likely necessitating further adjustments as the season progresses.

However, the prevailing sentiment is that the Blue Jays urgently needed experienced talent to achieve their aspirations for the postseason.
