Twins Acquire Reliever Jeff Hoffman in Trade with Blue Jays
- On Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays traded right-handed reliever Jeff Hoffman to the Minnesota Twins, according to ESPN reporter Jeff Passan.
- Hoffman signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Blue Jays before the 2025 season but lost his closer role to Louis Varland this year following struggles after last year's World Series.
- Toronto acquired left-handed pitcher Dasan Hill, right-handed pitcher John Klein, second baseman Dameury Pena, and $250,000 in international cap space. Hill was selected 69th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft.
- The addition of Hoffman provides the Twins with an experienced bullpen arm, while the Blue Jays continue their aggressive deadline strategy, having already traded Daulton Varsho and Kevin Gausman.
- Although Hoffman wanted to stay in Toronto, the team's status as deadline sellers led to his departure, helping replenish their farm system after earlier trades involving prospect Arjun Nimmala.
