The Toronto Blue Jays have added left-hander Michael Plassmeyer to their roster, signing him to a minor league contract. This move aims to strengthen the teams pitching depth. Plassmeyer, a six-foot-two, twenty-nine-year-old southpaw, previously pitched in the major leagues for the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022. While his major league numbers were not impressive, he has shown more consistency in the minor leagues, striking out nearly a quarter of the batters he faces. This signing is considered the most low-key addition to the Blue Jays pitching staff this offseason, with the team also signing Dylan Cease, bringing in Cody Ponce, and strengthening the bullpen by adding Tyler Rogers. Plassmeyer is expected to attend big league spring training and is likely to begin the season at Triple-A Buffalo, working towards earning a call-up to the major league team later in the year. This move reflects the Blue Jays ongoing efforts to build a deep and resilient pitching staff across all levels of their organization.
