Hoffman to the Twins

Brownie19 · 2026-08-03T21:43:19Z

The Twins and Blue Jays are in agreement on a deal sending righty Jeff Hoffman from Toronto to Minnesota, per Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Minnesota sends three minor leaguers back the other way, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports: lefty Dasan Hill, righty John Klein and infielder Dameury Pena.

Dasan Hill was the 69th overall pick in 2024. Big time strikeout rates in A+ ball. He seems to be the guy. 7th ranked prospect in the Twins org.

Nice trade!!!! Wow.

They also got $250K in IFA money.

Give Miles the 7/8th inning now

Pena slap hitting MIF

Hill looks intereting. 20 year old starter already in A+ and has swing and miss for days.

I get Hoffman has a Stigma with Jays fans, but not a huge fan of trading him. Decent enough return though I guess

G-Snarls · 2026-08-03T21:49:47Z

Wow

Nice trade!

metafour · 2026-08-03T21:50:59Z

Dasan Hill has massive stuff. Along with Johnny king, this gives them two LHP's with big wipeout stuff and developing control/command.

M.E. · 2026-08-03T21:51:18Z

So happy he is gone. Should have never come back for 26 when you cost a team a WS title

Jonn · 2026-08-03T21:53:08Z

Wonder if they are taking his whole contract.

JaysFan99 · 2026-08-03T21:55:09Z

Why does it feel like Gausman got us the worst return?

Massive ceiling at only 20 years old, just needs to improve his command

Yea I don’t like that part. His reliever contract is market value. Maybe it increased the return. But hopefully they didn’t absorb that much.

Klein 2026

68 IP, 15 HRs

He's Hoffman's son

Ross traded Hoffman and Varsho 9 months late.

Legit, good trade, also don't have to listen to the mouthbreathers cry over this guy anymore, silver lining.

Do they have to pay it if there is no 2027 season?

Technically no. The players will be forfeiting salary in a labor dispute.

Hoffman's tenure in Toronto didn't go exactly as hoped. He showed dominance at times, though with the occasional implosions which were ugly. He was definitely settling in after being removed from the closers role and despite his early struggles this season, has been have a solid 2026 (1.2 fWAR, 2.49 FIP with a sick 14.06 K/9). Would have been nice to see this bullpen core stick around again in 2027, though nice deal getting some youth back for him.

He would have been upon completely differently if the team moved off him from the closer role. Dude was settling into his elite self like he was elsewhere his entire career.
