I am a certified Hoffman lover. And by lover I mean someone who thinks he's going to be a very good bullpen arm again. 

Agree to disagree.

after his blow last time, JS defended him publicly. 

That's fine if he defended him, I read what he said as a way to boost his confidence.

Hoffman will probably be fine as a 7th inning guy or something. I just think you gotta take him out of the closer role now.

Manager need to protect his players.  Let them know he has their backs.  What he say publicly is not as important as who he uses in the future. 

sure, but they can't do that constantly when what's right or wrong is so obvious

It's going to be interesting to see what they do with him. He's certainly looking like he can be a valuable piece on the team whether it's in the rotation or a long man.

I'm thinking they may try to make a deal to send Miles down.

It's hard right now to see the team in a position where they can't use useful 5th starter production from someone like Corbin. Right now Scherzer looks cooked and Lauer is probably best pushed back to a swingman role. So even when the team gets Yesavage and Berrios back I could see them keeping him around.

Baseball gods are trying to gift wrap a closer for JS

Nice to see him on the broadcast.  Like Buck, always a Jay. 

[Omar]

Nothing wrong with John Schneider using both Hoffman and Varland to close by committee.  Go with the hot hand, whoever that is.  

Also if you think Varland won't be blowing saves, check yourself.  It is going to happen. That's just baseball.

[Jays24]

Gotta give Atkins credit for getting Rogers.  That dude is f***ing money man.

Feels like a June or July problem, sadly

Excited to see how they do against Soriano

Bieber won't return this year. He's more close to a 2nd Tommy John surgery than playing in MLB this year

[Steeljays17]

Diaz out for a few months. Since we need to make a few P moves when guys come back. Would be nice to dump Hoff on LA. 😀😀😀

This guy just yesterday was calling people stupid for wanting Hoffman out of the closers role and had no clue people were criticizing one of the worst closers in all of baseball for 1+ years now. 

Its like you only live on this board and have no clue what the outside world says haha

Bieber has been throwing bullpen sessions on the side.  Points to him coming back.

[Laika]

Yimi closed to rehab. 

Yimi, Rogers, Varland 

Fluharty and Fisher for situational relief 

Hoffman = RP6 go hang out with Thomas Nance

Seems like he and the Blue Jays made a joint decision that 130 good/healthy innings would be the best thing for both the 2026 team and Bieber's next free agency

No need or upside in trying to make 30 starts and increasing injury risk 

I kind of don't think he was even hurt. Maybe they made up the dead arm thing

Did they give an update on Bieber?

Hoffman going the way of Chad Green is not far fetched as it seems
