Blue Jays' Tommy Nance Aims for Bullpen Spot After Strong 2025, ALDS Struggles

Blue Jays right-handed reliever Tommy Nance, 34, had a strong second half in 2025, posting a 1.99 ERA with 5 holds in 30 games after a late-July call-up. He moved into higher-leverage situations, demonstrating a 52.9% ground ball rate, but struggled in the ALDS. Nance, who is out of options, faces stiff competition for a bullpen spot in Spring Training, with projections anticipating a 3.80 ERA over 58 games.
