Blue Jays Sign Corbin on One-Year Deal

0:00On April 3rd, Blue Jays should scooped up Lefty Patrick Corbin on a one-year deal worth $1 million and sent him straight down to single A. Dunedin, this 13-year vet and two-time all-star, bounced back in 2025 with the Rangers, posting a 7-win 11-loss record over 30. Starts with a 4.40 ERA, his best full season marks since 2019. Earlier this offseason, Corbin sharpened up by keeping runners off base better, dropping his WHIP to 1.36, the lowest since 20. 19, while cutting hits allowed to 161.

Matching his career norm, fans and scouts see this as low-risk depth for Toronto, especially since Corbin's been a workhorse, logging 30-plus starts every healthy year. Since 2017, more than any active pitcher, his career sits at 1.10142,
