Blue Jays Sign Patrick Corbin

[Leo Morgenstern]

Patrick Corbin and the Toronto Blue Jays have come to terms on a one-year, $1 million contract. Corbin can earn an additional $1 million in incentives. The left-hander will head to Single-A Dunedin to ramp up after missing spring training. 

Corbin, 36, threw 155.1 innings for the Texas Rangers in 2025, pitching to a 4.40 ERA and 4.75 xERA. While it's been years since he was more than an innings eater, he has been one of the game's more durable arms over the past decade.

Toronto signed Corbin in the wake of a serious injury to Cody Ponce, who sprained his ACL during his Blue Jays debut. While the team once seemed to have a surplus of starters, they're now facing a shortage in the rotation. Corbin won't be ready to help out right away, but the Jays clearly understand that there's no such thing as too much starting pitching.

Does his stuff play up in one inning stints by chance?

It probably plays down.  Corbin wouldn't make the Barrie Baycats bullpen.

He pitched well for what they were expecting. Looking at his stats.

Eat that hat sir, lol 😜

Yeah he has helped avert disaster while Berrios/Yesavage/Scherzer/Bieber are unavailable or suck. 

Couldn't have asked for more so far
