In the midst of offseason speculation surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays, reports have linked the team to potential interest in Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette, two notable names that could bolster their roster next season. Adding to their offseason activity, the Blue Jays have reportedly signed a new player to their minor league roster from the Cleveland Guardians.
ESPN‘s Alden Gonzalez reports that the Blue Jays have inked right-handed pitcher Nic Enright to a two-year minor league contract. Gonzalez stated regarding the reported latest acquisition from the Guardians.
However, it is noted that Enright will be sidelined until the 2027 MLB season due to recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent after last season. Despite this setback, the two-year minor league agreement represents an attempt at a major league comeback for Enright in future seasons.
The decision to sign an injured player who will miss the 2026 season has sparked debate. Nevertheless, the Blue Jays’ reported acquisition of Enright taps into the promising potential he showcased during his impressive 2025 season with the Guardians.
