Toronto Blue Jays have officially parted ways with 30-year-old veteran pitcher . The decision came after Berríos informed the team of his desire to move on, citing personal reasons for his departure.
Berríos, known for his consistent performances and valuable experience, has been a key player for the Blue Jays’ rotation. His departure leaves a significant gap in the pitching staff, as he was one of the most reliable arms in the league.
The two-time All-Star joined the Blue Jays in 2021 via trade from the Minnesota Twins and quickly established himself as a cornerstone in Toronto’s pitching rotation. Throughout his time with the Blue Jays, Berríos contributed significantly to the team’s postseason aspirations, earning the respect of his teammates and fans alike.
While the reasons behind his decision to leave remain private, Berríos expressed gratitude to the organization and its supporters, stating, “Toronto has been an incredible place for me, both professionally and personally. This was not an easy decision, but it’s the right one for my family and me at this time.”
The Blue Jays, while disappointed, acknowledged his contributions and wished him well. The front office will now face the challenge of finding a replacement to bolster the rotation heading into the future.
This marks the end of a notable chapter in Berríos’ career with the Blue Jays, as both sides now look to the future.
