Jeff Hoffman Removed from Blue Jays Closer Role

GM Ross Atkins announced that Jeff Hoffman has been removed from his role as the Blue Jays' primary closer following a series of recent struggles. The team is transitioning to a committee approach for late-inning situations. While Hoffman may still see occasional save opportunities, he is no longer the lead option as the club reevaluates its bullpen hierarchy in the wake of a difficult post-World Series stretch.
