TSN’s Top 50 MLB Free Agents: What would an ideal Blue Jays off-season look like? After falling flat in the playoffs for the second straight season, the Blue Jays enter the offseason with numerous question marks. TSN Baseball Insider Steve Phillips and Scott Mitchell discuss which areas and players Ross Atkins should target in free agency, if Toronto should bring back Matt Chapman, and what an ideal offseason for the Jays would look like.

The Toronto Blue Jays have non-tendered reliever Adam Cimber, it was announced Friday evening.

The move makes him a free agent.

The 33-year-old appeared in just 22 games last season with the Blue Jays, battling a shoulder injury and struggling to a 7.20 ERA with just 12 strikeouts in 20.2 innings.

Cimber was solid the season before, pitching to a 2.80 ERA while leading American League pitchers with 77 appearances.

A native of Portland, Cimber was acquired from the Miami Marlins in June of 2021 for a prospect and infielder Joe Panik. Outfielder Corey Dickerson landed with the Blue Jays in the deal as well.

A veteran of six MLB seasons, Cimber has also spent time with the Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres. He owns a career ERA of 3.49 in 323 big league outings.
